Description

The large rock outcropping at river left is where the iconic champagne scene in "Fandango" was filmed (thus giving the rock its name.)  The section of FM 170 leading up to the overlook at the top of the rock is supposedly the steepest highway in Texas.  Look for a rusted-out tanker truck and car alongside the river underneath the rock
