elephant rock

We visited 3 sisters again this weekend, this time to see elephant rock up close and find some petroglyphs that were suppose to be in a nearby cave. Unfortunately, most websites are out of date about the carvings because that particular cave was destroyed in 2008 by a winter storm. Duh.

This rock might be famous one day, too. Possibly another elephant? Maybe just another 'sister'?

I am totally in awe of the coastal rock formations. You haven't seen the last of them!

  2. That looks exactly like an elephant -- amazing! I love coastal rock formations too and we do see some awe-inspiring ones in Oregon -- but nothing like this. I look forward to more pictures of this area.

    What do you mean the cave was destroyed? By Natural causes?

  8. It is easy to see why they call it elephant rock. The second rock looks like it might be turning into a woolly mammoth. PS: Your photos are excellent!

  11. What a cool elephant to have hanging out on the beach of New Zealand. I live in a land formed by the Mississippi Delta, thus no rocks. Great photos!
