This special trip will cover some of the iconic places within Maine and pop into New Hampshire to check out some of the amazing geological features. We will be visiting Acadia National Park, seeing glacial features from the last ice age, going to the largest glacial erratic in America and more.
We will visit some great cache locations including EarthCaches as we discover the beautiful Maine landscapes as we cross from coastal Portland to western Maine and New Hampshire, then back across to the coast to spend a day in Acadia National Park.
We will visit traditional caches and EarthCaches along the way – and see mineral deposits, gem museums, coastal landforms and more.
You will also
- Learn a little about the last world-wide glaciation and how we can see evidence in the landscape.
- Visit the iconic Acadia National Park
- Visit an amazing gem and mineral museum (and touch the moon and mars)
