Deep in the forest near my house, massive boulders lie scattered along a hill, chunks of granite so tall they dwarf surrounding trees. These types of glacial deposits can be found throughout Maine, and the stick season — the drab period between brilliant fall foliage and winter wonderland — is the perfect time for finding them. Many parks and preserves feature trails that are designed to visit them, including on Tunk Mountain in eastern Maine, on the edge of Kidney Pond in Baxter State Park, at the Debsconeag Ice Caves, Bubble Rock in Acadia National Park, Bass Rock in Webb Lake, and Daggett Rock in Phillips.
