This great little anticline is one of several accessable from the Veach Gap trail in George Washington National Forest, Fort Valley, Virginia. The rocks are from the Massanutten formation, a Silurian quartz arenite to quartzite. The folds seen here are parasitic folds which relate to the larger Massanutten Synclinorium regional structure (see google earth location). Look out for Mr. E. coli !
