SUMMARY:Geology: Continental Divide Trail Hike\, Wolf Creek Pass
DESCRIPTION:SJMA in conjunction with the US Forest Service\, Pagosa and Bayfield Ranger Districts\, is hosting educational geology hikes\, free for the public\, from May through October. These interpretive hikes\, led and presented by geologists Dave Bouquet and Scott McAllister\, will be in an area of the San Juan National Forest rich with evidence of earth’s geologic history from some of the area’s oldest metamorphic rocks\, to Cretaceous seaways\, to Tertiary volcanoes\, to modern glacial deposits. \nVolcanic Formation of the San Juan Mountains – Continental Divide Trail Hike \nThis time we will be “going high” to escape the summer heat. Hike a short section of the famed Continental Divide Trail from the Lobo Overlook to picturesque Rock Lake.  Learn about the origin of the San Juan Mountains\, created by the largest volcanic eruption by volume ever in North America. Amazing views of the San Juans persist throughout the hike. \nTrail Description: This is a more challenging hike\, spanning an out and back distance of ~9 miles with ~1150 of net elevation gain. We’ll also be consistently above 11\,000 ft. With stops to discuss the geology of the area\, you can expect a time commitment of 5 hours. Pack a lunch as we will be taking a break along the shore of Rock Lake. We’ll be watching for thunderstorm activity and may need to cut the hike shorter if weather conditions dictate. \nWhen: August 20\, 2026 from 9am – 2pm \nWhere: Meet at the Lobo Overlook CDT trailhead behind the tall metal cell tower. Just after passing the Wolf Creek Pass Continental Divide sign on Highway 160 (from PS)\, drive approximately 0.3 miles. Turn left on FR 402\, a gravel road with a sign that says “Lobo Overlook”. Follow the gravel road up the hill for approximately 2.6 miles. Turn right towards the cell tower\, just before reaching the end of the Lobo Overlook road. The CDT trailhead will be behind the tower. If you go all the way to end (Lobo Overlook Parking Lot)\, just backtrack a bit to the earlier turn off. Note there is a restroom at the Lobo Overlook Parking Lot\, but not at the trailhead. \nHere is a link showing you directions from Wolf Creek Pass. \nWhat to Bring: \n\nLayers of cool and warm clothing\nWater (1/2 to 1 liter per hour)\nSturdy\, supportive footwear\nLunch/snacks\nRain jacket or poncho\nHiking Daypack\nSunscreen and sunglasses\nCamera\n\nCost: Free\, $10 donation is greatly appreciated! \nPlease Note: Although pets are allowed in the national forest\, we ask that pets be left at home as a courtesy to the other guests in the group. \nRegistration is required. Event is now full. If you are interested in Geology\, check out our additional Geology hikes 0n September 17th and October 1st. \n\n
