Blue Ridge Mountain Week 7

For my visit I decided to do the Blue Ridge in Northern VA.  The Blue Ridge mountains actually run from Pennsylvania all the way down to Georgia. It is been said to have been formed anywhere between 1-1.6 Billion years ago which is one of the oldest ranges. The mountain range is absolutely beautiful, getting its name "Blue Ridge" from having a blueish color from afar. It is mainly sedimentary rock that formed this ridge, and when it comes to folding and faulting, it left the ridge hot enough to deform over a span of almost 540 million years. This was one of my favorite places to visit and learn about!
