Description

This view is of the Hatcher Pass road looking down hill at "Pinnacle Rock", or "The Thumb" with a pickup truck and three women stopped on the road beside the rock feature. This rock formation was left in place next to the river when the original trail, and road, were located. In later years it was removed to allow widening of the road. Throughout its existence this feature was a favorite stopping point on the road for photos, rock climbing and graffiti.
