Marvel at the scenic beauty of the west desert and search for nature's treasures amid the remains of ancient Lake Bonneville. We offer programs during the cooler months of spring and fall which focus primarily on rockhounding, geology, and western history. All programs include two days digging on private mining claims for trilobites, Dugway geodes, wonderstone, sunstone, sherry-colored topaz, and agate.
Programs also address how to clean, label, catalog, and display rock collections.
Participants will have the opportunity to visit a local lapidary shop to have their new geodes cut and prepared. You are guaranteed to take home specimens from this program. Delta programs begin Sunday afternoon and ends Saturday after lunch. Besides being one of the best rockhounding sites in the US, Delta is also home to the A cheese factory, and other rural industries. Accommodations Lodging at a clean local hotel.
