It must have had glaciers moving over this area to have all the big,
smooth rocks now exposed. Very interesting to see if you can find out
just what was happening there a few million years ago.

I LOVE Geology! Best class I ever took in my life.
Then--visiting my sister in AK--and walking up a hillside to get to the
tongue of a glacier, we walked over immense, solid rocks smoothed by the
force of the glaciers in the past.
It humbles you to see the force that glaciers have--as they inch down the mountains
on their way to the sea. Impossible to even imagine.

1--The black lines are where multi-glaciers meet (dirt and stone churned up) as they move
downward to their end--the river-and then on to the sea.

2----My sister and our cousin's DH facing off with the very end of a Glacier.

Sorry--if this went off topic again....G.
