Geology Field Trip 10/25 (A Trip Through Time)
Field Trip/Hike | Registration opens Saturday, August 29, 2026 9:30 AM MDT
NOTE: Please only register for one field trip! The same field trip will be offered on two separate Sundays, so you only need to register for one.
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 will scan 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. Limited to 15 participants.
There is a $12 non-refundable fee for the guidebook.
NO DOGS allowed per Utah Tech policy.
