Inscription.
A world class landform; rare geologic features including peak-and-saddle topography and stair-like catsteps; rare flora and fauna such as biscuitroot. These are important reasons why Rosie Hall and her late husband Phil wanted to protect this land. Rosie donated significant land value through Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation.

Enjoy this special place, first purchased by Rosie’s great-great-grandfather in 1854, now forever protected for future generations.
