Ringing Rocks: The View
Just on the Eastern side of the Continental Divide, at Pipestone Montana, is a rare geological feature called the Ringing Rocks. When struck with a hammer, the stones ring, similar to striking a thick metal bell. The only other place in the US that I am aware of that has these features is a better known state park in Pennsylvania.
The pile of boulders is, by my estimation, a few hundred feet across and 50-100 feet high. Here I'm at the top looking southeast toward the Continental Divide and Interstate 90, which you can just make out in the right-hand portion of the photo.
