Description
This is a lone pine out among the boulder field; The creation of the boulder field was by the continual freeze thaw process in the ridges southwest of the field. As the ridges broke apart into angular boulders, they accumulated on clays, sands, and ice at the base of the ridges. During summer months, the ice in the mass would melt and carry the boulders and finer sediment down the valley to the location of the boulder field today. As the glaciers receded and melted, the drainage flowed through the field and took the sand and clays with it, leaving behind the stack of boulders nearly 12 feet deep . This process occurred several times over the thousands of years of glacial melt, which is why the field is so large,approximately 16 1/2 acres
