"Stone Mountain is a unique experience. It is a granite dome monadnock covering 583 acres. The mountain is 825 feet tall and the top of the mountain is 1,683 feet above sea level. Stone Mountain is claimed to be the largest exposed granite 'stone' in the world. Stone Mountain is well known for the carving on it of three figures of the Confederate States of America: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. The entire carved surface of the Memorial Carving measures three acres, larger than a football field. The carving of the three men towers 400 feet above the ground, measures 90 by 190 feet, and is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. The deepest point of the carving is at Lee's elbow, which is 12 feet to the mountain's surface."
