Phelps Lake (Wyoming) - Jumping Rock

Jumping Rock

"Jumping Rock" is a popular rock that sits on the northern side of Phelps Lake. It is so called "Jumping Rock" for the reason that it performs as a natural diving board. It is a 25-30 foot drop into the lake, but the water is deep enough for those brave enough to jump in. The water is freezing, even in August.

Famous quotes containing the words jumping and/or rock:

    Unwind, hands,
    you angel webs,
    unwind like the coil of a jumping jack,
    cup together and let yourselves fill up with sun
    and applaud, world,
    applaud.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
