Duluth Folk School Field Trip: The Geology of Duluth!

Our Duluth landscape is the product of very ancient and relatively recent geological processes. And the contrast between these prime movers is even more stark; put simply, fire and ice! Join UMD geology grad Dave Pagel for a boots-on-the-ground look at how billion-year-old rifts and Pleistocene glaciers have underpinned and sculpted the Duluth region into the amazing scenery we see today. This outing will take place in Enger Park, a location featuring expansive views and bedrock outcrops.

Registration Includes

A guided hike through Enger Park
