Basalt is a common volcanic rock. It is the bedrock of the Columbia Basin. It tends to break into palisades of vertical columns. The powerful Missoula Ice Age Flood waters eroded the area around the columnar basalt creating "Feathers." These columnar basalt "Feathers" are located on the old Vantage Road, northwest of Interstate 90.
