Between the White Mountains, The Kanc and all of the forests and coast land in New Hampshire, it might be easy to overlook some of the smaller natural attractions. While we can’t deny that the more famous things are worth the trip, we love making smaller trips to make sure we’re not missing out on anything that the Granite State has to offer. One of the best on our list? Madison Boulder!
About 20 minutes from the border of Maine, you'll find Madison, New Hampshire - home to what's believed to be the world's largest glacial erratic.
A glacial erratic is rock of one type, that's been moved to an area with a completely different rock type. Often it's been moved an incredibly long distance - miles away from where it began.
The Glacial Period took place over 25,000 years ago. During this time, the area where Madison sits was covered by a sheet of ice that was a mile thick.
