Indian Profile Rock
Grand Lake
Profile of a face with "feathers" standing upright above, accidentally created around 1918-1920 by workers dynamiting an outcrop for the one-lane Fall River Road from Milner Pass down to Grand Lake. About a decade later, the current Trail Ridge Road was built higher above the outcrop.
Apparently the profile still exists overlooking the old roadbed a mile south of Poudre Lake, or about halfway between Fairview Curve and Milner Pass.
