PUBLIC
FIELD TRIPS 2001
GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
11th
YEAR
The
ASU Geology Department is pleased to offer 2 field trips as part of its public outreach
program. We welcome participation by alumni,
friends, teachers, students, and members of the general public. The trips are an effort to
share what excites us; they are not fund-raisers. Please dont hesitate to join us! ASU Geology
Professor Paul Knauth will lead the excursions again.
SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS DAY
TRIP
Saturday, December 16, 2000.
Cost: $45
Assemble
for coffee, juice, and pastry at 7:30-8:00 a.m. at the ASU stadium parking lot. The excursion involves 4 geology stops with hiking
at each. While not strenuous, the hikes are non-trivial and involve several miles of
cross-country travel. The focus is on the volcanic activity that created and shaped the
Superstitions. The excursion ends at the
east end of the volcanic complex about 4:30 p.m. Return to ASU by 6:00 p.m. or join the
trip leaders for a no-host dinner at the Mining Camp Restaurant and return by 8:00 p.m. The $45 non-refundable fee includes a great lunch
from Chef Darla, snacks, and transportation. Bring your Santa cap; this one is a holiday
celebration.
May 9-17, 2001 Cost $1686
This
is our annual 7½ day geology-oriented raft trip through the Grand Canyon from Lees Ferry
to Whitmore Wash. We will examine side canyons, geologic features, and fossils not
normally viewed by commercial river trips. There
will be an all-day, pre-trip geology excursion to Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Powell, and the
Lees Ferry Area on May 9 for those willing to arrive a day early. We travel with Hatch River Expeditions on large,
motorized, inflatable rafts for maximum safety. Participants will rendezvous at the large
Hatch facility at the Vermillion Cliffs no later than the evening of May 9 and will return
there via aircraft on May 17. Price includes
1 pre-trip orientation at ASU, the pre-launch Lake Powell excursion, a waterproof
guidebook, geologic handouts, all meals while on the river, minimum tip for the boatmen,
helicopter exit to Diamond Bar Ranch, plane flight back to the Vermillion cliffs, and a
post-trip party/slide show. We are
pleased to be able to offer a geologic adventure of this type at a price below the
commercial rate. The trip is limited to 36 participants. A $100/person non-refundable
deposit secures your place. Final payment is
due March 5, 2001; we encourage cancellation insurance.
RETURNING IN 2002: Death Valley (Jan 17-20); High Sierra/Yosemite (July 23- July 26)
