Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve
Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve is a beautiful nature hike in the woods. The star, Peachtree Rock, used to look like this.
This site was under the Atlantic Ocean a very long time ago. As the water receded it eroded the bottom layers of the sandstone quicker than the rest, creating an inverted pyramid.
Its toppling occurred in 2013 and it now looks like this.
Not too fascinating.
Regardless the ocean has left behind many other marvels for the nature lover to enjoy.
We were here on a perfect, super sunny fall day (just getting around to blogging this now).
This park is 460 acres.
A small waterfall is hidden in here giving off glorious audio.
A sweet creek meanders from it.
This bit of water below looks like it is coming out of nowhere!
It was great exercise and relaxing for the brain to spend time here.
Nature has created some amazing formations with gorgeous color tones.
A fascinating site thinking that this was once under the ocean and is now approximately 125 miles inland.
I hope you enjoyed this bit of nature!

Thank you for stopping by. ~Val
With global warming it may be under water again!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that...thank you. I love nature and I love getting out and seeing things like this. Funny that once upon a time it was under water. That is wild. I love going to Look Out Mt. to see Rock City. It has pretty cool formations also. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteEstupendas imágenes! Feliz semana preciosa! 📸📸📸
ReplyDeleteEarlier this year I read a NatGeo book about National Parks in USA and I was amazed to see how many of them are there. I knew about the more famous ones, but there are lots of small ones that are just as worthy a visit. If I ever visit USA, I will definitely visit some parks. This Peachtree park looks beautiful. It is a shame that the inverted pyramid rock formation isn't there anymore, but there seems to be a lot to see.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about how spending time at a place like this one can help us brain relax and rest. I always say that the nature is best inspiration. It is the perfect place to recharge our batteries. Thank you for sharing these wonderful images.
