A tower of vibrant colors and dynamic forms welcomes visitors to the park. Inspired by cairns—a historic form of wayfinding or commemoration, which has become a common occurrence on hiking trails and destinations all over the world. Rock Stack represents a universal human instinct to build, communicate across cultures and languages, and create a unique mark to be shared with a broader community.
