Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park is situated atop the Blue Ridge, a prominent mountain range formed during the ancient smash-up between ancestral North America and Africa. Known for its spectacular views, the park contains rocks that tell compelling geologic stories. What do stripes in a rock mean? Are those almonds from someone's trail mix on a boulder, or are they fossilized volcanic gas bubbles? How were the stairway-like sections of the hiking trail up Old Rag Mountain created? Geologist Callan Bentley can read these rocks and translate their tales from deep time.
