Play Rock Match 2!!!


Many easily recognized landforms and rock formations along the Hayduke Trail have been given official names, meaning that the name might appear on a map. Often, the local outdoor crowd will ascribe an unofficial name to a landmark formation. For example, the locally famous landmark of the inner Grand Canyon, pictured left, is very aptly named "The Battleship".


The imagination of the long-distance hiker is frequently consumed with identifying and naming rock formations along the trail. This activity is not simply born of the sheer monotony of marching briskly across the terrain day-in and day-out. Rather, the terrain itself is replete with mesmerizing artifacts of the weathering of stone that stimulate the imagination in unpredictable and fun ways.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive nature of the many, many comments left in the original Rock Match, we are uploading a new, more challenging, and R-rated version called "Rock Match 2". See if you can correctly match the list of unofficial names below to the letter title of each picture that follows. When correctly matched, the letters will spell the two items most lavished by hikers at the end of a long trail such as the Hayduke. Good luck and thanks you once again for playing Rock Match!

  2. Answer Hint: Shooter and Soother ... both wet.

    I don't get Duckhunter or Goofy Catcher though?

  3. Another Answer Hint: One is "to kill ya", the other is to clean ya. My favorite is the Ape Krishna....
