As the Ice Age ended, huge glaciers melted and the water carved the deep, steep-walled gorge known as the Dalles of the St. Croix. An 87-acre area around the Dalles is a state natural area. Frost action and weathering over the years have formed interesting rock features such as the Old Man of the Dalles.
