A stroll around Rooster Rock State Park reveals a number of natural features in the Columbia River riparian area: seasonally flooded shorelines, a forested sand dune, views to a sandy island and steep bluffs across the river, and the striking basalt monolith of Rooster Rock itself, the remnant of an ancient landslide. In summer, the park gets crowded with non-hikers, but at other times of the year, you are almost certain to find solitude once away from the parking areas. The nature loop described here takes you along the crest of an ancient sand dune, and a couple of other options are also described below.
