Virtually all undergraduate Earth Science majors and minors, as well as many of our graduate students, participate in our popular geology field program, ‘The Stretch’. Every fall term, students and faculty together explore the Canadian Rockies to the Grand Canyon, learning the story behind geologic wonders of the American West and about field techniques in the Earth and environmental sciences. Peruse a gallery of pictures from past trips—this experience awaits you!
