Geology Underfoot - St. Louis Style

St. Louis metro is what it is because of the underlying geology and hydrology. This all day trip tours and stops at both natural features and built structures, showing how where we live determines how we live. Includes basic orientation to Missouri geology. Trip goes rain or shine; only very severe weather will cancel it. Stops include Cliff Cave, the Mississippi, South St. Louis, downtown, the clay and coal of the Italian Hill (including lunch on the Hill, paid on your own!), Clifton Heights, River Des Peres, Kenrick Cave, and possibly Dee Koestering Meramec Highlands Park if time permits. Begins and ends at Kirkwood Alpine Shop.
