Lace up some sturdy footwear and head into the field to immerse in the fascinating geology of the North Shore with expert geologist Jim Miller. Using only your powers of observation, we will “read” the rocks exposed along the Gunflint Trail and along the North Shore of Lake Superior to unravel the 2.5 billion year geological story of the Arrowhead of Minnesota. Each day of the course will feature classic North Shore destinations, including trips to the Canadian border, up the Gunflint Trail and down the shore to Temperance River & Cascade River state parks, as well as rock-hounding on the shore of Lake Superior. Time in the field will be supplemented with lecture and discussion of ancient seabeds torn asunder by tsunamis, red hot lava eruptions and mile-thick glaciers. You’ll never see the North Shore the same way again.
