field class pre-trip meeting is today at noon in SCI 118 - all enrolled students are required to attend.  We will visit the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park where I snapped the pic shown above (click to enlarge.)  The snow-covered La Sal Mountains - composed of Eocene trachyte porphyry laccoliths - loom over colorful Paleozoic strata such as the Cedar Mesa Sandstone in the foreground.
