Geological Journey
Geological Journey
When: Saturday, March 29, from 12:30 - 2:30pm
Where: West Rattlesnake Mountain Trailhead, Center Sandwich, NH 03227
Ever wonder how Squam Lake was formed? What about the surrounding mountains? Come join Lakes Region Conservation Corp member Miranda Fisher on an educational hike about local geology to learn more. As the snow and ice start to melt this spring we can travel back in time and learn about how the glaciers affected the landscape millions of years ago. We will meet at the West Rattlesnake parking lot at 12:15pm on March 29th for a 2 mile out and back hike to the summit of West Rattlesnake. This trail is mildly difficult but we will be taking our time on the way up!
The topography of local rivers, lakes, and mountains all affect how water travels to and from Squam lake. On this hike we will explore the timescales of how these formations happened dating back hundreds of millions of years and how we are still affected by them today. This is the perfect chance to dig a little deeper into the geological history of some of your favorite places and think about what timescales mean for our current conservation efforts.

In addition he is engaged in research looking at the past fire history of the region from wildfire to indigenous burning.
