This will be a short hike and geological overview of Daggett's Rock, Maine's largest glacial erratic. The hike is about 0.3 miles up an old logging road, and the rock itself can be examined from several ground-level spots on a short loop that goes around it. There is some uneven footing on the access trail. I will bring maps and hand lenses to share with the participants.

Please wear appropriate clothing/footwear and a bug hat.
