Clues:
1. This mountain's current name is the result of a misprint on an early map; it's original name reflected the fact that its length is more notable than its height. 2. High up on the face is a coal seam indicative of the age of the rocks exposed in the cut. The rusty seeps on the cut's face are the result of groundwater oxidizing pyrite associated with the coal. 3. This cut is home to a three-story geology museum
that receives between 120,000 and 150,000 visitors every year.
