To the south of this site, a pluton formed deep beneath the surface. When it made its way to the surface (or the surface wore down to it) it left this formation known as Looking Glass Rock. Other similar formations are Stone Mountain in Georgia and Stone Mountain in North Carolina.
The geology yields a lot of flat, smooth rock in the area. At one site, a stream flows over this rock, creating a natural sliding board known as Sliding Rock. At the end of the slide you drop into a pool 8 feet deep. Katie would have LOVED this!
About a mile downstream, the water drops over Looking Glass Falls.
