SUMMARY:Western Snake River Plain: LECTURE
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, presented by Dr. Terry S Maley\, covers the origin and evolution of the Snake River Plain with emphasis on tectonic and volcanic events. The Snake River Plain has long been recognized as an enigmatic feature with global geologic significance. It is also noted as one of the most important volcanic provinces on Earth. Recent research shows the Snake River Plain was at least partly if not entirely caused by the Yellowstone hotspot. 1pm at Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology\, 2455 Old Penitentiary Rd.

SUMMARY:Western Snake River Plain: FIELD TRIP
DESCRIPTION:This field trip is guided by Dr. Terry S Maley PhD. We will learn about the Western Snake River Plain by visiting 4 field sites in the Boise foothills near Table Rock. The geology we see at these sites is representative of the geology of the western Snake River Plain. We will meet in the Old Pen gravel lot\, 2445 Old Penitentiary Rd. Boise\, near the trailhead sign at 7:45am for an 8am departure. This site will also serve as the first stop. We will not be hiking up the trail\, just meeting there for the first stage. Throughout the morning there will be minimal walking—no more than a few hundred yards. Trip ends by 11am. Members of Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology- Free\, Nonmembers of the Museum-$20. Everyone must pre-register. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/western-snake-river-plain-field-trip-tickets-1992316525359?aff=oddtdtcreator \nContact operations@idahomuseum.org if you have questions.
