Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Black Mountain sits on 550-800 million year old rock

Central North Carolina (piedmont) displayed at Minerals Museum of Blue Ridge Parkway.

 Western North Carolina, there's Buncombe County where Black Mountain is near Asheville, in the green.  What does that mean? Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the key.


Cross section with a key, so you know what our rock is made from.
