Geologist are on the scene @ CVO

Castle Valley attracts visitors from all over the world to study the unique landscape and rock formations in our mountains and canyons. Recently CVO hosted a group of geologist lead by Tom Ryer. Tom is an expert on the geology of south central Utah and a good friend of CVO.

Tom is explaining the layers of rock in Indian Canyon. He takes a hands on approach and hikes the canyons with his groups, seeing, touching and tasting the rocks.

Many geologist visit the San Rafael Swell of Utah. We met up with these two geologist from Norway. They tagged along with us for part of the day.


It can be a tough job to keep up with these rock hounds.

A well deserved break for lunch. The geologists from China brought some delicacies of their own for lunch.

Chicken feet anyone?

After a long day of hiking in the hot sun. They return to CVO to relax in our comfortable lodge. The geologist are greeted by the aroma of delicious country style gourmet food and Bonnie's welcoming charm. It's hard to beat Bonnie's cooking!!!!
