The formation of Granite Peak began 2 billion years ago with the violent fusion through intense heat of sand into a single chunk of quartzite. Since then, the surrounding plains have slowly eroded away while the incredibly hard quartzite, resisting this erosion, remained and rose higher and higher over the surrounding area. Today, Granite Peak, called a “monadnock” by geologists, is the second highest point in Wisconsin and, at 700 feet above the surrounding plain, is the tallest mountain in Wisconsin.
