Those are cool, I always find those interesting. I read somewhere once that as the tree root grows in the ground that it actually puts out some kind of acid strong enough to dissolve rocks to make room for the root to grow.

Love the pics ! Yes the rock formation looks to be the profile of a man > are you sure there is not treasure near by

Maybe its the rocks that dont belong....For instance why are Easter Island rocks there?

I agree with RR...Mother Nature can come up with some amazing things.

And leave it to Gypsy to see what Copper saw in those rocks (I had to go back and look)...isn't she supposed to know her "rust"? Guess she knows rocks , history, and geography too

Not sure if there's any treasure, but the area was a gathering place for Indians
at one time.....

History of the Area:
Chatfield Hollow Brook flows toward Long Island Sound between two high ridges covered with oak, beech, and hickory. In 1934, the Civilian Conservation Corps built an earth and stone dam across the brook, creating seven acre Schreeder Pond. Pines planted at the same time now form a green setting around the pond.In pre-Colonial times, Indians frequented the valley in considerable numbers for purposes of fishing and hunting. Many artifacts found in the vicinity of Indian Council Caves indicated that Native Americans sought refuge in the jagged ledges and held tribal gatherings amid the rock recesses and overhangs. An Indian trail paralleled the brook, winding through the trees and along what is now the park road.

Here's a of pics of the cave/cliff area....the last is the view from the top
