Glassy Mountain is a mountain close to Pickens, South Carolina, USA, in Northwestern South Carolina, with a summit elevation of 2647 feet (502 m) above mean sea level. While it is an isolated monadnock, it is still close to the Blue Ridge, providing views of nearby summits such as Table Rock and Caesar's Head as well as Greenville. The mountain gets its name from a large, bare, granite face on its North side. At the top of this rock face are small springs that trickle down the mountain, giving it a "glassy" appearance in the sun. It is easily accessible, as a small service road for transmitter towers leads to the summit. Local high-schoolers often paint the rock face with graduation years. These year numbers can be so large as to be seen on aerial imaging of the mountain

  • Glassy Mountain is een berg van het type inselberg in Pickens County in de Amerikaanse staat South Carolina. De berg ligt dicht bij Pickens en heeft een hoogte van 502 meter boven zeeniveau. De berg is een geïsoleerde berg, maar ligt toch in de buurt van de Blue Ridge Mountains, waardoor het uitzicht heeft op nabije toppen van waaronder de in en in , en zicht op de stad Greenville. De berg dankt zijn naam aan een groot, kaal, granieten gezicht op de noordzijde. Op de top van deze rotsgezicht bevinden zich kleine bronnen, waardoor het een "glazen" verschijning geeft in de zon. Het is gemakkelijk bereikbaar met een smalle serviceweg voor de zendtorens die naar de top leidt. Lokale scholieren verven vaak het rotsgezicht op de rotswand bij afstuderen. (nl)
