 Monadnock / Marlboro Trail - Pitted Rock

 

Grey rock, scarred and pitted with low conifer branches at the edge.

Portions of this rock were softer than others, and the softer - or perhaps more soluble - portions were worn away by rain or the actions of the glaciers tens of thousands of years ago. The low branches may themselves be a hundred years old, because the weather is so hard on exposed vegetation at these altitudes and latitudes.
