| Summer is here and most of us are ready for a vacation, even a short one. We don’t need to travel too far to see some great geology. Following is a sampling, by no means comprehensive, of some of the favorite geology hikes, known and not-so-known, that geologists recommended to Geotimes. Some of these sites are a short drive from major cities or interstates, others more of an adventure to reach. For some, we offer detailed descriptions, for others just a name and number. But readers should find at least one gem in almost every U.S. state and in a few parts of Canada. |
