Geology Field Trip #3 (A Trip Through Time)
Field Trip/Hike | FULL (Membership Required)
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 guidebook describing what you will be seeing, complete with color photographs and diagrams.
There is a $10 non-refundable fee for the guidebook.
NOTE: Please only register for one field trip! The same field trip will be offered on three separate Sundays and are limited to 15 participants each time. If you successfully register for any one of the three field trips, you should not register for either of the other two, since it's the same field trip.
NO DOGS allowed per Utah Tech policy.
