Large privately owned Tuscarora sandstone fin. Managed as an Outdoor Recreation Center. There are a variety of trails navigating the property. The fin was accessed using the Via Ferrata.;Steep SE facing Tuscarora cliff which which overlooks the "corridor" a roughly 200 foot forested gap occurring in a fault between this and a second large Tuscarora fin. This second fin may protect this face somewhat from weather. There is a beautiful echo within the "corridor". The vegetation is somewhat sparse although there are many narrow ledges which are home to a number of sub-xeric stunted trees and shrubs. There are also a handful of herbaceous plants including the tracked Paronychia argyrocoma and Carex tonsa var. rugosperma. Much of the fin is lichen covered.
