Description

Our summer geology field camp is designed to expose students to a wide variety of rock types and geologic settings. We spend the first week on the road in the Black Hills/Badlands, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons National Park, and the Uinta Mountains. We then base ourselves in Park City, Utah, from which we travel to other areas of Utah (Capitol Reef National Park), Nevada (Great Basin National Park), and Wyoming. Field areas include intrusive rocks, deformed sedimentary rocks, contact and regionally metamorphosed rocks (greenschist to amphibolite grade), and Quaternary landscapes and deposits.
