Morrill Ledges in Peru is a nice spot that shows perfect evidence of the two major Earth history events that shaped today’s Western Maine landscape. Its metamorphic schist bedrock is the result of the mountain-building processes that bore the Appalachians, and its striations are the result of the ice age – when glaciers moved over the bedrock and scratched its surface. There are nice directional views from its summit.
