General
Panama Rocks is said to be the world's most immense outcropping of glacier-sculpted, ocean quartz conglomerate rock spanning about 1/2 mile.

History
Geologists believe the rocks originated as sea islands and date back to over 300 million years ago in the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era. About 165 million years ago the rock was fractured and uplifted to 1,650 feet, its current altitude. During the last ice age, a glacier ripped-into and exposed the rock. Since then a lush, mixed forest of conifers and deciduous trees has grown at the site.

Ownership & Operation
In 1979, the park was sold to Craig & Sandra Weston. They repaired the buildings and improved the grounds, and they currently live there full-time.
