Notes:

Built in 1976 by former lighthouse attendant and noted historian Jim Gibbs. It takes its name from the hymn by Fanny J. Crosby, "He Hideth My Soul in the Cleft of the Rock", which is based on Exodus 33:22. The tower is a replica of the 1898 Fiddle Reef Lighthouse. It is part of a privite home and not open to the public, but can be viewed from a pullout on the highway.
