It's home to the Confederate Memorial Carving, which is the largest high relief sculpture in the world. This 1937 photo shows a car approaching the mountain via dirt road. Famed sculptor Gutzon Borglum, shown here (at left) between 1923-25 with a plaster maquette of his vision for the Stone Mountain sculpture, was tasked with carving the original planned sculpture onto the face of Stone Mountain.

When you used to be able to drive up the mountain (1940s). I know an old timer that has a good story. On their way down the mountain in a car...... ready... the brakes went out. He said worst rude in a car hes ever had. Bouncing very hard, going very fast and not being able to stay on the pathway. I said thats nuts really? Then he walks me out to his shop, behind the building sits a old studa all beat to hell. He said...." i still have the car"... damn near had ass prints in the seats..

Even though the carving is politically incorrect, it still is pretty.
