Description
Join Professor Lackey (leading research geologist in Mineral King) for a relaxed stroll through parts of Mineral King's Geologic history. As we walk, we'll interact with key rocks or outcrops to learn how they give clues about changing geologic environments, from deep ocean basins to catacalismic volcanic eruptions ti intensely folded mountains. We will also look for evidence of how the current landscape continues to change.
