Glacial Erratic

Acadia National Park (YouTube video)



I can’t believe I was able to hike the Acadia mountain trails
continuously for more than three hours with only few brief stops.
It likely had something to do with motivation, persistence, and
more importantly, the fact that I was attracted to the surrounding
nature along the trails.

The morning we were supposed to leave this National Park and
drive to Saint John, New Brunswick, we decided to take a final
look at the park and pay a visit to “Bubble Rock”.







We climbed up to the top to view this amazing “glacial erratic”,
which has been quietly resting there for some 10,000 years.
It has been said that this displaced rock was carried along by
glacial ice flow, traveled 19 miles south from mainland Maine.
The receding glaciers dropped it on the southeast corner of the
summit.








We were humbled by the great power of nature.
