Topics to be pondered, discussed, and postulated:
Geology of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains
Palm Canyon fault and associated mylonites and Paleozoic metasediments
Peninsular Ranges Detachment fault
Deep Canyon and the Boyd Research Center
Palm Springs Tramway...Aerial Geology
Although this year's trip will visit two of the places we visited last year, this time we will learn the whole stratigraphic
section of different rock layers and faults present in the east flanks of the Peninsular Ranges at this latitude and learn
much more about the role of the world-famous Eastern Peninsular Ranges mylonite zone in the tectonic history of this area.
In addition, we will visit topographically and geologically spectacular Deep Canyon--an area off-limits to most people and one
very few southern California geologists have ever even been into!
