Description
Here is the other rock, located a little farther up the river and on the opposite side from Rooster Rock. The story runs that two Indian chiefs wooed the same maiden who kept them both in suspense. Finally the two chiefs quarrled, each blaming the maiden's delay on the other. The quarrel grew so bitter that the gods took a hand in the matter, changed each chief into a rock and seperated them by permitting the waters of the Columbia between them. The maiden also was punished by being transformed into the Horsetail Waterfall, 'ever escaping up the hill with her hair trailing behind, but never getting away'.
