Description Suggest change

From the Needles Eye parking lot looking south (to the right of the tunnel) you will see a formation whose profile looks somewhat like a sea fan.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in the Needles Eye lot, walk toward the tunnel and head right and through the notch. Down and to your right (about 50 feet?)you will see the ridgeline of The Fan.
