"Geologically speaking, Lancaster County has a very complex and diverse geologic history when compared to the rest of the state. The area around Hawk Point was very volcanically active and the evidence is everywhere. Of course it’s been quite a while since large volcanoes inhabited the area, but if you try to imagine it really carefully, maybe you’ll be able to picture what it might have looked like. The evidence on the slopes around Hawk Point can be found in the form of large chunks of Olivine which has crystallized and created a distinction from other rocks with its dark green coloration. You’ll also find pumice, muscovite, and some very nice quartz crystals along many of the trails."
