Stone Mountain Park

On Tuesday night I took a tour to Stone Mountain Park, just outside of Atlanta. Stone Mountain is a granite outcropping (small mountain), it is the world's largest exposed mass of granite. Many buildings around the states and the world have used granite from Stone Mountain. I took the sky tram to the top of the mountain and a train around the base. On the side of the mountain is the world's largest bas-relief (carving) of three confederates, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis. At dusk a spectacular laser light show is displayed on the face of the mountain.
