Mole Hill

Over the mountain and through the Valley will take you to Mole Hill and the incredible views overlooking the region to the west. Mole Hill is located west of Harrisonburg and is composed of basalt, a volcanic rock of Eocene (early Tertiary) age. It is the eroded remnant of what was an active volcano approximately 47 million years ago, making it one of the youngest volcanoes on the East Coast of North America. The Hill is monadnock on a Cenozoic Peneplain. Monadnock is an Algonquian word meaning "isolated mountain."  Enjoy the view!
