Pikes Peak Geology Field Trip
POSTPONED to Sunday, April 22nd, 1:00-3:30pm
**Please Note that this field trip has been postponed from its original date (April 15) to Sunday, April 22 due to icy road and trail conditions.**
Phil Burgess will lead us on a geology field trip at Pikes Peak State Park near McGregor, Iowa. Learn about how the Wisconsin and Mississippi River valleys were carved and about the bedrock formations comprising the bluffs. The group will hike down along the boardwalk to Bridal Veil Falls and will learn more about the unique microbial tufa cone at its base. Interested individuals are invited to return to the Wetlands Centre after the field trip to view and discuss the PBS webinar by Eric Carson titled, "Did the Ancient Wisconsin River Once Flow East?".
We will meet at the Wetlands Centre at 1:00pm and will carpool to Pikes Peak. The field trip is open to all ages and includes a hike up and down hills along boardwalk trails at Pikes Peak. If you have any questions, contact us at 563- 873-3537. Any changes to the schedule due to inclement weather will be posted on our website and Facebook page.
