Devil's Backbone | Fall Foliage | West Virginia

Описание: Fall Foliage has peaked at the Devil's Backbone in Huntersville, West Virginia. Epic Drone Footage of this beautiful rock formation in Pocahontas County, WV. Using the DJI MAVIC 2 Pro for an Aerial Exploration you won't forget!

This is an outcropping composed of Tuscarora Sandstone, a sandstone made from the remnants of an ancient beach. The Tuscarora Sandstone runs for hundreds of miles stretching into Tennessee and north into New York! One of the many fascinating formations in this long line of cliffs is Devil's Backbone right here in West Virginia!
The Devil's Backbone got its name by the early settlers to the area, that believed this formation was unnatural and could only be the work of the devil. Little was know then of how these formations were formed.
The sandstone layers that vault upward at the backbone are, almost unimaginably, the remnants of a beach that had first been laid down some two billion years ago. The grains of sand were then buried, uplifted, eroded, and deposited again as a beach three times before being warped and exposed here in what's now Huntersville, West Virginia.
