Glad you enjoyed this video of a very scenic section of the Appalachian Trail on a perfect day. Bluebead Lily and Dwarf Dogwood are common in the higher elevations of New York and New England. Some parts of the Poconos have swamps with Balsam, Red and Black Spruce and Larch. If either of these plants were in Eastern PA that is where I would look. Moose may be harder to find.
Thank you for watching Frank! It appeared that the swirling action of the stream created these potholes. Larger potholes can be created during times of extended higher water levels like when the glaciers were melting. I recorded such a pothole in Ohio in 2019. It was 30 feet wide and 40 feet deep. A much smaller stream now occupies that valley which would be incapable of creating such a large pothole. 'Introduction to scenic dolomite formations - Massies creek gorge-2 of 10' can be found on this channel. Most Native Americans lived in the relatively mild river valleys and coastal areas of New Hampshire so I doubt these potholes would have been used for grinding grains but ones closer to their settlements could have been used for that purpose.
Thanks for watching! Lots of Black Spruce in the wetter soils along that stretch of trail. As you climb higher in the White Mountains Black Spruce replaces Red Spruce and is often stunted due to the extreme weather. Best wishes

What is the origin of the pot holes in Thoreau Falls granite? Native peoples grinding bowl?
