The Devil's Head at Chimney Rock State Park

Well, when you've got a rock so entitled and an interest in folklore references in the landscape, you can't escape a visit to such a feature a this.

A large boulder sits on a ledge overlooking the valley; it carries some anthropomorphic features but for some reason (as often is in the US, UK and European countries) is ascribed to The Devil. Why should The Devil have all the interesting rocks?

You have to go right to the top of the stairs at Chimney Rock to get a good view of this diabolical pareidolia.
