38th Biennial Convention

Sigma Gamma Epsilon

October 11-13, 2002

Cedar City, UT

Enroute to our field trip in Zion National Park. This is one happy group!

 

Participants examine slicken-lines on an exposed expression of the Hurricane Fault, near La Verkin, UT.

 

A group photo from our orientation stop. The day was beautiful, the company fine, and the geology, World Class. This is the La Verkin Overlook on the upthrown side of the Hurricane Fault.

 

The group stops to "rest" in the town of Springdale, UT.

 

Enjoying the view.

 

More of the group soaking in the sights at the Canyon Overlook.

 

The site of this group shot was the Overlook Trail, on the east side of Zion National Park. The contact between the Navajo Sandstone Formation and the overlying Temple Cap Formation (above the red stain) is visible at the top of the photograph.

 

This is the view that greeted the group at the Overlook.

 

A stop along the trail for a photo-op. The canyon in the background is a slot called Pine Creek. The canyon begins about one foot from where the group is standing/seated.

 

A small group shot at our lunch site, the Checkerboard Mesa parking area. Another nice view of the Navajo Sandstone-Temple Cap contact.

 

At the banquet that evening, the SUU's Great Hall, Chapter reports were offered. The Convention was a great opportunity for SGE delegates to meet and get ideas from one another. Thanks to Betty Bellis, Charlie Mankin, and Don Neal for their organization.
