Field Trips Print

 

We are trying to expand the number of field trips our club goes on this year.  Our first field trip of 2010 was to the Xcel Steam Plant located in Downtown Denver.  Keep an eye out for e-mails regarding upcoming field trips and check the calendar as well!

 

Past Field Trips have included:

 

  • Oil Refinery
  • Drilling Rig & Frac Operations
  • BP Center for Visualization on the CU Boulder campus
  • Various trips to working drilling rigs, including Caza in the DJ Basin
  • National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, CO

 

Our Next Field Trip Is:

 

  • Dinosaurs, Raindrops, and Moon Rocks


    Explore the wonders of Dinosaur Ridge, Fossil Trace, and the Colorado School of Mines
    (CSM) Geology Museum in Golden on a day of discovery with trip leader and geologist, Pete
    Varney. This fall tour will show participants the tracks and impressions of both flora and
    fauna from Jurassic and Cretaceous times. We will have lunch in Golden followed by a trip
    to  the  fabulous  mineral  museum  at  the  Colorado  School  of  Mines  where  the  newly
    recovered moon rocks are on exhibit.
