<\/strong>BARABOO HILLS \/ DEVILS LAKE, WISCONSIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leader:\u00a0 P. Phillip Fauble, Hydrogeologist, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources<\/p>\n

HIGHLIGHTS:\u00a0 The Baraboo Hills region of southern Wisconsin has been a mecca for the study and teaching of the geological sciences for over 100 years.\u00a0 The unique combination of an asymmetric, doubly-plunging syncline composed of resistant meta-quartzite over 1.45 billion years old, flat-llying Paleozoic sediments and spectacular glacial morainal features, makes the Baraboo Hills one of the most exciting and compact geologic study areas in the Upper Midwest.\u00a0 We will start our tour at the most exciting and compact geologic study areas in the Hills, Devils Lake State Park.\u00a0 After a brief overview of the geologic history of the Baraboo region, we will hike up to the top of the bluffs (moderately stressful hike over established trails) to enjoy the spectacular scenery and explore the mysteries of quartzite formation and metamorphism.\u00a0 After we explore the South Range of the Hills, we will travel to the north range of the syncline with a stop at the Pink Lady Quarry for some collecting.\u00a0 We will continue to explore the Rock Springs area for quartzite breccia, Van Hise rRck and an artesian spring (bring your water bottles!).\u00a0 On Sunday , we will further explore the north side of Devil’s Lake with an emphasis on the Cambrian unconformity.\u00a0 Next we will stop at Parfrey’s Glen for a look at the massive Cambrian conglomerate sequences and end our day at the Lower Narrows exposure along the Baraboo River.<\/p>\n

WHEN AND HOW:\u00a0 On Saturday, June 28th,\u00a0 we will meet at 9:00 a.m. near the South Shore concession stand (Red Oak Shelter) on the south shore of Devils Lake State Park.\u00a0 On Sunday, June 29thy, we will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Chateau (on the lakeshore – North Shore concession stand) on the north shore of Devils Lake State Park.\u00a0 We will carpool from both sites (access is limited at most stops).\u00a0 An admission fee is required to enter the park.\u00a0 The fee is $5\/day or $20\/year for residents of Wisconsin or $10\/day or $30\/year for nonresidents.<\/p>\n
