That said, long striations on the eastern face of the cube appear to be man-made and resemble similar rock work in quarries and tunneling. The top of the cube is similarly squared and appears to be made by human hands. There is little information on Falling Block as it is in a nearly inaccessible area with a steep hike of over 4 miles to the area called "Bear Rocks." It has only been visited in the past few years by some intrepid hikers and a few climbing enthusiasts. The question remains ~ Man-Made or Natural?
