    The rock in LF is pre-Cambrian biotite gneiss and basalt that was uplifted to the surface by a thrust fault located to the east of LF. On the other side of Moss Island (the area where you will likely be rock climbing) is an area of exceptional glacial erosion you don't want to miss. They are called "potholes" for reasons that will become obvious. Just be careful while walking the trails and try not to add to the herd-trail mentality. For a very nice (but somewhate expensive) dinner, try the Canel Side Restaurant (French). By the way, see you can identify the rock outcropping along the road to the liftlock that is called "the witch."

    In case you are wondering about the accuracy of this information, I'm a Little Falls boy!
