Hiking
The historic Stone Crusher off Christopher Clark Road crushed basalt from the mountain's steep western cliffs. A raised truck's spinning wheels powered the crusher via connected belts. Workers shoveled loose rock onto conveyors leading to the hopper. Basalt was used as construction aggregate until better sources were found, ending operations, leaving the crusher a fascinating time remnant for hikers to visit.
