and the next nine with my Colorado Plateau geology field class, 14 fledgling geologists in all. After spending tonight at Willard Bay State Park on the northern shore of the Great Salt Lake, we will arrive in the Moab area by mid-afternoon on Saturday.
First stop will be at the Fisher Towers area (shown in the pic above) looming over the Colorado River in the foreground, with the snow-capped La Sal Mountains as a backdrop. There we will examine the arkosic sandstones and conglomerates of the Cutler and Moenkopi Formations that comprise the bulk of these peculiar eroded spires.
