Maine's Ice Age Trail
H. Borns and D. Smith, Climate Change Institute, W. Thompson, Maine State Geological Survey

"The Maine landscape is made up of many features created by vast sheets of glacial ice that covered Canada and the northern United States during the Ice Age. The Ice Age Trail is self-guided tour that will take you through one of the finest and most accessible areas of glacial moraines, deltas and eskers. It is located along the coastal "Down East" section of Maine and follows the retreating margin of the last great North American continental glacier, called the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The trail consists of stops along highways and country roads. It will take you from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, across the spectacular and remote sand barrens that are home to some of the nation's largest wild blueberry crops, and on to the easternmost tip of the United States."
