This is a past event.

This is the fourth year of one day long geotours on the five Geoelements of Keweenaw Geoheritage.  These tours use ground and boat transportation and visit some of the most important places identified by the website.  We use the university research boat, the RV Agassiz.

This trip is to see and understand the Keweenaw Fault, a massive thrust fault that was the locus of hundreds of high magnitude earthquakes, splitting the peninsula lengthwise and lifting rocks by miles, moving native copper closer to the surface where we can mine it. We will visit the fault along Keweenaw Point and Bete Grise and then Mt Bohemia, Gratiot Lake, Traprock Valley, Natural Wall, Hungarian Falls and the Pilgrim Valley.
