Wellesley’s own rock star, Chris Crowley will unearth the past during a geological expedition through Hemlock Gorge on Saturday, April 25, at 10am. Meet at the Echo Bridge trail head across from 27 Hamilton Place, Needham. There is a small parking lot at the trailhead.
Sure, Hemlock Gorge as a scenic spot for a weekend stroll, but did you know that just below the trail’s surface lies the remnants of a fascinating prehistoric past? Chris will peel back the layers of deep time, examining bedrock formations and the visible scars left by ancient glacial movements.
“If you have never been to the gorge, it is a gem,” Chris says. “There are terrific exposures of Roxbury Puddingstone and dramatic views of the Charles River and several dams.”
Registration is required. Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy walking shoes and bring water.
