Welcome to Shawkemo Highlands. These trails illustrate the influence of the last ice age on Nantucket’s topography. The southern trail rises to 94 feet and offers stunning views of the Middle Moors and Nantucket Harbor. These formations are the Shawkemo Hills, which are one example of the sediment deposits left behind after the Laurentide glacier receded approximately 18,000 years ago.
These amazing trails will leave you breathless and with a GeoCache in tye middle you'll have time to catch your breath and really take in nature.
..And as always, leave no footprints, bring a pen to sign the log and enjoy the beauty.
Happy caching.
