Grand Tour of El Paso Geology Part 2

  • El Paso Museum of Archaeology 4301 Woodrow Bean Transmountain Drive El Paso, TX, 79924 United States (map)

Take a 5-6 hours drive-and-stop tour of the highlights of El Paso Geology. The tour will be led by Dr. Phil Goodell, the founder of Celebration of Our Mountains. “El Paso is an unusual geologic setting with rocks of diverse ages, mountains of diverse origin and form, and a variety of mineral resources nearby. Seas and lakes, deserts and glaciers, volcanoes and igneous intrusions, faulting and folding, erosion and deposition all have left their marks on the geology and landscape of this region.” (William C. Cornell)

Meet at the entrance to the Archaeology Museum on Transmountain Road by 8:45 AM for a short orientation and the car trip to start at 9:00. Due to limited parking space at the stops along the tour, we must limit the number of vehicles to 10. You can reserve your vehicle spot by emailing the Brian at the address below.
