Rocks
Ancient granite - anorthosite -made ancient mountains a billion years ago. Long worn down, their roots were thrust up again, commencing 60 million years ago, to form the still-rising Adirondack Mountains. These mountains and boulders have been sculpted by the glaciers of the past 100,000 years. These forests, mountains, wetlands and lakes are now preserved in the 600 million-acre Adirondack Park of the State of New York. This view is from a trail's end near Newcomb, NY, at nearly the peak of this fall's color.
