Description

This field guide concerns that part of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone seen by most visitors between Chittenden Bridge and Sevenmile Hole. The focus of the field guide is the stratigraphy and erosional history of the volcanic and sedimentary rocks (all younger than 610 Ka) that are observed in the canyon walls at 11 locations within or adjacent to the canyon: Inspiration Point, Red Rock, Lower and Upper Falls, Cascade Creek, Uncle Toms Trail, Uncle Toms Rest Area, Artist Point, and a location near Chittenden Bridge. The volcanic and sedimentary features observed at the various stops are discussed in terms of a sequential geologic framework. Less
