SUMMARY:CANCELED Geology: Marine Fossils at 8000 ft?
DESCRIPTION:Due to weather forecast\, this event has been canceled. \nSJMA 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. \n“Marine Fossils at 8000 ft?” – Coyote Hill Loop Trail \nWalk through Ponderous Pine meadows to a beautiful overlook of Pagosa Peak.  During this hike\, we’ll go off trail and climb to some ridge-forming limestone outcrops in the Mancos formation that contain marine fossils and numerous calcite crystals.  Learn why this area was covered by an inland sea for 30 million years during the Cretaceous period. \nTrail Description: This is an ~5 loop hike with approximately 450 ft of gentle elevation gain.   With stops to discuss the geology of the area\, you can expect a time commitment of 4 hours.  Pack a lunch or snack as we will be taking a break from the overview stop. \nWhen: Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026 from 9am – 1pm \nWhere: Group will meet at the Coyote Hill Trailhead\, ~6 miles north of Pagosa Springs on County Road 600 (Piedra Road).  Note on Google maps and other sites\, this is called the Coyote Hill Trailhead (on the right) and not to be confused with the Turkey Springs trailhead just before it on the left.  Note that neither of these trailhead parking lots have a restroom. \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. \nCANCELED \n
