Chimney Rock NC
Chimney Rock is a 535-million-year old rock formation located at the edge of Blue Ridge Mountains. This geological structure came about through a mass of granite that was formed when the Earth’s molten interior welled up, cooled and solidified. Through billions of years of high temperatures and extreme pressure, the granite became a form of Gneiss. Followed by a slow process of erosion by wind, water and extreme temperatures, Chimney Rock was carved out from its surrounding cliffs.
