Cheese Rock and Bible Rock are gigantic sandstones in the Roslyn Formation, formed during the Eocene period when 40 million year-old swamps and rivers existed in this location and a time before the Cascade Range existed. These and other interesting sandstone formations in the Teanaway Community Forest formed when surrounding weaker rocks eroded away. From the top of the sandstone slabs, views of the Stuart Range are possible. Much of this route follows abandoned logging roads. This is a multi-use area and also used by mountain bikes and motor bikes.
