This profile formed during the Ice Age, was worshipped by the Indian Nations as the profile of the "Great Spirit" and was first discovered by the settlers in 1805.

The face which measured 48 feet from forehead to chin was 1200 feet above Profile Lake and 3200 ft above sea level.

The face collapsed from view 20 years ago but folks continue to cherish the history and visit yearly

Turn this statue side view and there he is!

Small but mighty.
