Prospect Terrace

This terrace was referred to as the "Eleventh Terrace" by Dr. Peale in 1872. In the late 1880s a U.S Geological Service party led by Arnold Hague gave it the name Prospect Terrace. While the reason for its receiving this name is uncertain, it is likely that it was named simply because of the spectacular "prospective" views it affords.
