For all Geologists - from the newly-interested to the practiced professional.
On June 23rd, a special train will depart to traverse spectacular geology along the 64 miles of Cumbres & Toltec track. But simply experiencing the incredible overviews of the Rio Grande Rift, the eruptive evidence of the San Juan Volcanic field, the Precambrian core of the Tusas Mountains, recent glacial deposits, and snapshots of the Jurassic, will not be enough. This special train will stop at many outcrops and rail cuts along the right of way, to mingle, marvel and collect photographs, samples and experiences only accessible on the train route.
The opportunities are priceless:
• Join a cadre of distinguished Geologists for a truly extraordinary day on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad!
• Traverse the entire 64 miles of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad!
• The railroad passes through one of the most unique, varied geologic areas in the US and it is the ONLY way to see all those sights.
• See metamorphic rock as old as that at the bottom of the Grand Canyon!
• The train will make a number of stops along the route to allow the Geologists to interpret the various Geologic points of interest!
• Lunch at Osier, Colorado is included in the ticket price!
• View and marvel at volcanoes, unusual rock formations, multiple volcanic depositions, tunnels and an untouched landscape.
• A mile by mile Geologic rail log will be provided to each participant.

• Ride the Historic C&TS RR and be prepared to "Get Rocked"!
