I am also grateful for time spent at Glacier Bay National Park as a Distance Learning Intern, which gave me an appreciation for Glaciers and their mighty power.

Most lakes in New Hampshire were formed by glacial activity, including Newfound Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee. Glacial lakes typically have crystal clear water. White Lake is a glacial lake which was formed from glaciers. White Lake State Park View from the First Day Trail along White lake at White Lake State Park. Check out this blog post by Tom Howe which explains more about it. Madison Boulder Natural Area is a great spot to check out if you are nearby in the eastern White Mountains region. New Hampshire is famous for having the largest glacier erratic in all of North America. From a short hike to Artist’s Bluff there is a beautiful view of the U-shaped valley which encompasses the surroundings of the Notch with the highway running through it. While the flume is a highlight, the glacier erratics which are woven among the trees are a must-see at Franconia Notch.įranconia Notch also has beautiful views along the Franconia Notch Parkway. Hikers nearby enjoy the views and unique rocks along the trail. Emma Oley looks at the uniquely shaped glacial erratics along the Flume Gorge trail which were deposited by the last glaciers. The glaciers may have removed sediment and rocks from the flume but did not significantly impact the gorge. The Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park, began flowing again as the last glaciers melted. It got its name due to the shape of the rock, it reminded people of a mummy’s sarcophagus. The Sarcophagus, a glacial erratic along the Pumpelly Trail. ![]() Glacial striations or streaks on the rocks at the Upper Junction of the White Dot and White Cross Trails at Mount Monadnock State Park. ![]() Where trails are located on the mountain impacts how steep of a climb hikers will have. The White Dot and White Cross Trails, which is one of the most popular routes taken from Park Headquarters, are steeper than some of the alternative trails on the other side of the mountain such as the Dublin or Marlboro trails. The shape of Mount Monadnock which we see today was created when the glacier moved over the mountain, traveling from the North-West direction and moving South-East. Mount Monadnock was impacted by glaciers around 14,000 years ago, when the last little ice age covered most of North America. If you see a U-shaped valley in your travels, consider that it may have been created by a glacier. Glaciers carve U- shaped valleys when they move through mountain ranges. Here are some inspiring local places that have been impacted by glaciers which I have visited since spending the summer here in New Hampshire.Ĭrawford Notch State Park Matthew Giambartolomei looking out towards the “U shaped valley” of Crawford Notch from the look out spot on Mount Willard. The force of the glacier moving though land removes all plants in its path and leaves behind a changed landscape. ![]() Glaciers can act as sandpaper or bulldozers and leave their mark on the land. New Hampshire is a beautiful place to visit, but long before we set foot on paths to go hiking here, there was a large volume of ice which covered the land during the last ice age.
