Stein's Pillar is a 350 foot tall pillar of volcanic rock found in the Mill Creek Wilderness. The tower was named after Major Enoch Steen, who explored the Ochoco National Forest area in the 1860s. His name was often misspelled, leading to the monument being called Stein's Pillar and not Steen's Pillar.
