Tech students on a geohike in the spectacular Goosenecks of the San Juan River in SE Utah. In this area the San Juan River is superimposed on the Monument Uplift where it cuts down to the Pennsylvanian Honaker Trail Formation. Several reefs in this marine limestone are exposed in cross section on the canyon walls, giving us an excellent opportunity to see reef fossils in situ. Another interesting attraction in the canyons of the Colorado Plateau in SE Utah are petroglyphs and Anasazi Indian ruins. Here a student examines well preserved petroglyphs and rock varnish on the Navajo Sandstone along the San Juan River.
Dinner time is one of the most popular events on our river trips.
Here the food committee is preparing a Mexican enchilada casserole, with all the trimmings, including garlic bread, tossed green salad, and dessert. Steve Ralser has a good collection of river-trip photos .
