This is Rooster Rock on the Columbia River, just north of PDX.

The Oregon Trail reached the Columbia further north,
and diaries of the settlers mention that this formation
was a welcome marker of nearing the end of their long trek west.

Like LJ, the name has been changed to protect the innocent,
because it was known to the settlers (obviously) as "Cock Rock"
