Erratic Rock State Natural Site

My goal of getting out in nature and learning more about our beautiful state of Oregon is a dream come true! I am making so many new memories and having tons of fun along the way. Lori and I road tripped to McMinnville to stay at the Atticus Hotel and we had to include an Oregon State Park along the way. We had an awesome adventure to the Erratic Rock State Natural Site!

When the ice melted, the rock was left behind. This is the largest glacial erratic found in the Willamette Valley. It is a type of rock not normally found in Oregon because it came from the Northern Rocky Mountains. Visitors at Erratic Rock can look out across the vast landscape and imagine the huge amount of water that filled the Willamette Valley during the Ice Age Floods.”
