Stone Mountain State Park
Subnational Park · Roaring Gap, North Carolina
A bare granite dome rising more than six hundred feet out of the surrounding forest in the northern foothills, and the centre of a 14,353-acre park. The rock is a Devonian quartz diorite that pushed up into much older gneiss, and it is now one of the premier big-wall climbing crags in the south-east. At its foot stands the Hutchinson Homestead, a mid-nineteenth-century farm left with its original furnishings, looking straight up at the dome.
