Stony Man Mountain
Stony Man Mountain, also known as Stony Man, is a mountain in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia and is the most northerly 4,000 foot peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains.〔http://www.takemytrip.com/08vapawv/08n_47b.htm〕 Its maximum elevation is 4,011 feet or 1,223 meters above sea level with a clean prominence of 651 feet.〔http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=7657〕 The mountain is co-located in Madiason and Page counties and is easily accessed from Skyline Drive by hiking trails. Along with Hawksbill Mountain (4,051 feet), it is only one of two peaks in the park higher than 4,000 feet. The shortest route to the summit is from the Skyland Resort and gains less than 400 vertical feet in about 1 kilometer. A longer, more challenging, route is from the Skyline Drive trail head at about milepost 39 of the Skyline Drive and gains almost 800 feet.〔http://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/driving-skyline-drive.htm〕 The peak sits just southeast of the Appalachian Trail (AT) but the summit is accessible from the AT by previously mentioned spur trails. On the upper slopes of Stony Man one can see a few balsam fir trees which typically grow in more northerly latitudes. The mountain is composed of ancient basalt which was metamorphosed into Greenstone through heat and pressure.〔http://www.nps.gov/shen/naturescience/geologicformations.htm〕
