A short hike takes visitors to the top of Jockey Cap, where they can examine a massive igneous rock dropped by a glacier. A marker remembers Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary, who worked as a surveyor in the Fryeburg area in the late 1870s, shorty after he graduated from Bowdoin College. Peary’s sketch of Jockey Cap, a landmark in the White Mountains region, inspired the idea of a memorial.
