What Makes Pompys Pillar Lewis & Clark Spot Unique From All The Others?

…Let's let Captain William Clark explain. Here is his journal entry from July 25, 1806. …"…arrived at a remarkable rock situated in an extensive [Yellowstone River Valley] bottom… this rock I ascended and from it's top had a most extensive view in every direction. This rock which I shall call Pompy's Tower is 200 feet high and 400 paces in secumpherance and only axcessable on one Side … The nativs have ingraved on the face of this rock the figures of animals & near which I marked my name and the day of the month & year."
…(Mr Clark's spelling preserved as written by him.)
……Clark's signature, the day and date remain visible on the towering pillar's rock face. Protected by a see-through covering, the signature can be viewed any time of year.
…And, yes indeed a great view of the valley from the top. Back in 2006 my son and I took the time to climb to the top and see Capt. Clark's carving!
