"The Rockpile" Tinh Quang Tri Things to Do Tip by Willettsworld

The Rockpile is a high, isolated rocky outcrop that's located about 27km west of Dong Ha along Highway 9. It rises to an elevation of about 210 m (690 ft) above the surrounding terrain. Its relatively inaccessible location, reached only by helicopter, made it an important United States Army and Marine Corps observation post and artillery base from 1966 to 1968. It's a quick stop along the road to the Khe Sanh Combat Base - not much to see, looks like any other mountain.
