Rooster Rock marks the entrance to the Columbia Gorge, as was noted by Lewis and Clark when they camped nearby in 1805. Clark wrote in his journal: "We encamped under a high projecting rock. Here the mountains leave the river on each Side. Which from the grand shute to this place is high and rugid.” (November 2, 1805)
