You must be tough to be a geologist. This line of work is not for the faint of heart, or those afraid to get dirty. Getting to the outcrop may be a difficult task, but the effort is often very rewarding for those who persevere... |

Our resident climber, Lars Hansen, is eager to get up close and personal with every outcrop he views |
A pair of stragglers say 'bring it on' to the steep hike between them and a view of the detachment fault |

| Mike Cheadle slithers along a narrowing drainage. Luckily, it seems some other land creatures have used this path, clearing the way and making a smooth dirt trail along which to army crawl. Now where is that outcrop? |

| The group slowly paddles the Colorado River to view mega-breccia deposits along the bank |
This looks like a good place to tie up and go ashore! |
|
| Getting to the outcrop may also be enjoyabe at times, but other complications may arise. These include losing your transportation, and confrontations with the local flora and fauna. |
