Snow Plow Rock

Snow Plow Rock was a rock formation just before the entrance to what is now called the Upper Park. It was pretty dramatic and was a favored place to take photos. The rock was removed during a road improvement project in the 1970's, as it was deemed a hazard. Below are some photos that show it from sometime around 1895 (estimated) up to the present time. As always, click on images to enlarge.
