Geology Field Trip #2 (A Trip Through Time)
Field Trip/Hike | Registration opens Friday, January 3, 2025 9:30 AM MST
Due to the popularity of this field trip, everyone who registers will be put on a waitlist and entered into a lottery with names to be drawn in late February. There has been such a high demand for Rick's field trip, that we have decided to do a lottery to make it more fair for everyone to get a chance to attend. This field trip will be limited to 15 students.
If you are chosen for the March 30 field trip, you'll be notified by e-mail the first week of March, at which time you must pay the $10 guidebook fee.
Join us for A Trip Through Time – Geology Exploration from Foremaster Ridge. St. George and surrounding areas truly represent a geologic wonderland. From two locations on Foremaster Ridge (East Ridge) we have a panoramic view of the Beaver Dam Mountains on the west to the Cliffs of Zion National Park on the east. Within this approximately 60-mile-wide zone are rocks and other geologic features that span about 1.8 billion years of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. Each field trip participant will receive a descriptive document describing what you will be seeing, complete with color photographs and diagrams.
There is a $10 non-refundable fee for the guidebook, due upon notification.
NOTE: The same field trip will be offered on three separate Sundays and are limited to 15 participants each time. If you are selected to attend one, you will not be eligible to attend another to allow others to attend. However, you can register for more than one lottery.
