This dramatic rock outcropping overlooking Paint Creek is one of many which appear on a 4 mile section, referred to by locals as the Mini-Gorge.  These formations came about as the constant and relentless force of Paint Creek cut through the many layers of rock over thousands of years.

Beginning north of Lively, this series of overhanging rock and sheer cliffs are surrounded on all sides by rhododendron, evergreens, and deciduous trees. Access to this section of cliffs and scenic views would be by way of the proposed community park and camping facilities at Lively
