At its summit, the elevation is 1,686 feet (514 m) above sea level and 825 feet (251 m) above the surrounding area.  It has enormous rock relief on its north face, the largest bas-relief artwork in the world.  The carving, completed in 1972, depicts three Confederate leaders, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson.

The cable cars go to the top of the mountain.
