8/04/2007 Geology field trips in the area - Study all you want to. But until you get out in the field, the classroom or textbook is paper and pictures. If you want to understand structural geology, only seeing what geological forces did to change what was once a massive series of horizontally deposited material into anticlines, synclines and faults will do. Bending them over and tilting them upwards they form large structural forms best observed from the field.
