Hiking
Indiana was once covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet. This ice spread from the arctic all the way down as far as Tennessee. When the ice melted, it left behind massive boulders that it had dragged across the landscapes, some coming from as far away as Canada. You can find these glacial boulders scattered all throughout Hoosier National Forest, but there are some great examples on the German Ridge Trail.
