Geology Field Trip
The geologic wonders of this region don’t stop at the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park! The 50-mile trip to Yellowstone from Cody, Wyoming, takes you past world-renown geology that goes unnoticed by most.
Join the Draper Natural History Museum for a roadside geology tour led by Larry Oliveria, host of the YouTube series Layers with Larry, and Digital and Outreach Educator, George Miller. Your hosts use a combination of hands-on objects, geologic maps, and the breathtaking scenery of the North Fork to make this high-caliber program memorable.
This four-hour field trip is designed for the student in all of us, starting and ending at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and transporting you through 2.5 billion years of geologic history in the interim. Intended for an audience of age 18 and older, this programmatic offering is more than just a field trip—it’s an opportunity to gain intimate knowledge of your backyard!
Although there is limited hiking or walking on this tour, be prepared to get in and out of vehicles at six geologic stops. Water will be available, but we ask you to bring a water bottle to help cut down on waste.
This field trip is limited to a maximum of eight people, so register as soon as possible to secure your spot. Members and students are $65; non-members are $85.
Due to the limited space, this field trip is fully refundable until 48 hours before the date of your tour. After 48 hours, 50 percent of the ticket price is refundable. Transportation is provided by the Center of the West.
Cody Calendar advertisers make this calendar possible.
