New Maine Geologic Fact and Locality Available
Join Maine Mineral and Gem Museum Curator Myles Felch for a geologic tour of Round Mountain in Albany Township. This short (but steep) hike is worth the effort as hikers are rewarded with excellent landscape views and interesting geology. The trail traverses granite and granitic pegmatite bedrock, and hikers can explore boulder caves at the “Rock Castle.”
If you are interested in being a guest author or if you know of an interesting geologic site that you would like MGS to consider visiting and documenting, please email Christian Halsted, Director, Earth Resources Information, Maine Geological Survey, at christian.h.halsted@maine.gov.
