<snickers as only a coloradoan can snicker at other people's mountains>
I actually climbed that when I was like 12. It's an easy peasy climb for an Oregonian. Not to mention they have a skyride that can take you up there. *snickers*
As a native Georgian, I'm gonna go against the grain here. A lot of differences between Stone Mountain and the Rockies, sure. But if you actually go out to the place, it's tough not to find it remarkable (or at least bizarre). Barely a tree growing on it, and it sits out by itself, more than 200 miles away from anything resembling a mountain (hell, from anything not covered in trees or grass, for that matter).
Then again, it's all about perspective. Having grown up in the North Georgia mountains, I snickered at how few trees there were in the Rockies when I first came to CO, too… 🙂
It's a tourist attraction due to it being in the middle of nowhere and the Confederate carving on the side. You don't go there to climb the thing anyways, it's a park and recreational area. It also wasn't formed from a fault line like the Rockies or most other mountains, just hardened magma mostly. Yes, I lived in the Dallas, GA area for 10 years.
Is it bad that now I want to scream "weaboo" at you next time I see you, Dad? xD
