This year we started Field Camp in the Gros Ventre area of Wyoming, toured Yellowstone National Park, completed a field project along the Gallatin Gateway near the park boundary and finished up in Dillon Montana where our majors, like many field geology students from across the country, mapped in the Block Mountain area.

This is not unusual weather for early summer in Montana - we were glad it wasn't snow. |
