The Mount Rogers area contains a unique record of the geohistory of Virginia. There is evidence from the rocks that volcanoes were part of the landscape. Roughly 760 million years ago, rift-related (divergent) volcanoes erupted along the axis of what later became the Appalachians, and one remnant of that volcanic zone, with its volcanic rocks, still can be seen at Mount Rogers.
The scenic area includes Rowland Creek Falls, a campground and a picnic area. [1] The National Scenic Area was established by Public Law 111-11, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. [2] The area is part of the Mount Rogers Cluster.
