Mt. Zion conglomerate

An encore trip up Mount Zion. Four kids, two adults. The Lyre Formation rock exposures and lush understory makes for interesting trailside viewing on the way up.

Lyre Formation pebble conglomerate along the trail.



At the peak of Mount Zion: a geologic debate heats up. 


Why is geology so much more interesting with a rock hammer in hand?
