Ozark Hippie Camp Elephant Rocks 2022

Afternoon Adventure to Elephant Rocks State Park located off Hwy 21 in South Central Missouri near the town of Middle Brook, MO.

The formation of these extraordinary geologic features began during the Precambrian era about 1.5 billion years ago. Molten rock, called magma, accumulated deep below the earth’s surface. The magma slowly cooled, forming red granite rock. As the weight of the overlying rock was removed by erosion, horizontal and vertical cracks developed, fracturing the massive granite into huge, angular blocks. Water permeated down through the fractures, disintegrated the adjacent granite and rounded the edges and corners of the blocks while still underground. This action formed giant rounded masses called core stones. Erosion eventually removed the disintegrated material from around the fractures, and exposed the giant core stone boulders at the earth’s surface.
