When most people (tourists and residents alike) visit North Carolina’s famous Hanging Rock State Park, caves aren’t at the forefront of their mind. The park is widely known for the cliff locations found within that offer far-reaching views of the surrounding area. The mountain cliffs found here are part of the easternmost mountains in the state, the Sauratown Mountains, as opposed to the Blue Ridge Mountains found farther west.
