Virtual Field Trips

The following are virtual field trips. Included in each is a map of the field-trip area, a discussion of the general geology of the area, photographs and illustrations of geologic features that can be seen along the trail route, and pertinent references that can be used to help explain the geology of the trail route. You can select views from a trail route, or scroll down the list of photographs and illustrations. The virtual field trips can be used to visit parts of the state you are unable to visit, or can be used as a trip planner, to help teachers and trip leaders better explain the geology that can be seen, when they make the trip themselves.
