- starting in Las Vegas and finishing in Salt Lake City or Denver this road trip traverses much of the geology of the western U.S. We skirt the margins of the Colorado Plateau to look at numerous famous sites including:
- the Grand Canyon,
- Canyonlands and Arches
- Dinosaur National Monument
- no previous geological experience is necessary.
- typically, we stay in motels though camping in state or national parks is also possible.
- Contact us to discuss options regarding non-geological activities.
- starting and finishing in Las Vegas this week long field trip explores the geology of Death Valley and surrounding regions.
- locations within and outside the national park are visited to provide an overview of the long history of this region and the interaction between active tectonics and the landscape. The lack of vegetation makes this trip both stunning and technically accessible.
- no previous geological experience is necessary.
- we stay in motels and (optionally) camp in the national park. There is the possibility of combining this with self-drive offroading (4×4) activities. Contact us to discuss options.
- just over a week long trip presenting the geology and geomorphology of the Snowdonia National Park and Anglesey in North Wales
- we look at pre Cambrian and Palaeozoic the rocks associated with collisions terranes as well as subduction related volcanism.
- we also investigate the excellent glacial and post glacial features of Snowdonia
- no previous geological experience is necessary.
- we stay in B&B’s or hotels in Bangor and travel to the field each day
- cultural, historical and other activities can be added/substituted if requested. Feel free to contact us to customise your trip.
- just over a week long trip presenting some of the geology of the NW Highlands of Scotland, including Skye.
- we look at the the igneous and metamorphic rocks associated with both the Caledonia orogeny (mountain building event) and openning of the Atlantic. We also visit various sedimentary and meta-sedimentary sequences of economic significance.
- no previous geological experience is necessary.
- we stay in B&B’s or hotels along the route, moving locations most days.
- cultural, historical and other activities can be added/substituted if requested. Feel free to contact us to customise your trip.
