This photo of Chimney Rock was taken in Chimney Rock State Park at 431 Main Street Chimney Rock North Carolina. Chimney Rock, a 315 foot granite monolith, was purchased in 1902 by Dr Lucius B Morse. Dr Morse and family owned and operated Chimney Rock Park from 1902 to 2007. In 2006 the Morse family put the Park up for sale and it wasn't until 2007 that the Park would be fully owned by the Sate of North Carolina. Scenes from a number of movies have been filmed in the Park. One of the most memorable was the Last of the Mohicans which showcases Hickory Nuts Falls and the magnificent cliff faces of Chimney Rock.
