HAWK MOUNTAIN ROCKS! CLICK PIC TO BEGIN THE HIK…err…HIKE
Strap on your boots, get ready to walk, look up in the sky, and follow the hawk. I’m Hawkimer Flyt, soaring over your shoulders, follow me over these cobbles and boulders. First grab a snack, take a drink from the fountain, then it’s off to the rocks that we’ll find on Hawk Mountain.
Jane is your tour guide today on the trail. She knows all the rocks from the slate to the shale. So pick up a rock, then look at it twice. There are big rocks and small rocks and rocks that are gneiss.
This igneous rock, that the two of us found, is a rock that can form right under the ground. When it has time and is properly warmed, its beautiful crystals are properly formed. But when it is rushed, and cools over the land, it has no real crystals, and looks awfully bland.
IGNEOUS ROCKS BASALT GRANITE RHYOLITE OBSIDIAN
Sedimentary rock forms from the travel. It’s water that carries the silt and the gravel. No stopping the water, it heeds no impediment, then compacts these fragments, all the sand and the sediment.

Hey, it’s George that we meet today on the trail. What’s that you’ve got inside of your pail?
“Well, if you take any rocks and then rearrange them, by baking or pressure which is able to change them, the rocks metamorphose and aren’t a garble.... Did you know that limestone can change into marble?”
METAMORPHIC ROCKS GNEISS SCHIST SLATE QUARTZITE
You’re wondering ‘boutigneous and metamorphic rocks too?Can sedimentary fragmentstravel straight from Peru?
Well, go search Hawk Mountain, its borders are trimming with rocks and with boulders its trails are just brimming, with treasures you’ll find as you hike ‘long the way, on this your Hawk Mountain and rock climbing day!
