Igneous Rock at the Jocassee Gorges in South Carolina



When I lived in South Carolina, I took a road trip on my motorcycle to see the waterfall at the Jocassee Gorges. This waterfall is at the edge of the blue ridge mountains. This area of the mountain range is made up for non native rocks stacked on top of each other. They are made from Igneous rock that has been changed through metamorphosis. I found these pictures of the waterfall online at www.ncwaterfalls.com and is the typical “post card picture” when talking about the Jocassee Gorges.

You can see the stacked layers of rock in the second picture.
