As A Fund-Raising Project For

The CSUN GEOLOGY SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT FUND

Because the cost of education continues to rise, many geology students need financial aid if they are going to complete their geology degrees in a timely fashion so that they might become the geologists of the future. The GeoTrek was planned as a philanthropic event to raise funds through event sponsors for the CSUN Geological Sciences Scholarship Endowment.

The total length of this first GeoTrek was about 75 MILES and it was completed over a 7-day period. After each hiking day a rest day was taken during which pictures and a geologic description of the previous day's hike was posted on the internet.

Geology alumni, faculty and friends were encouraged to COME JOIN THE FUN WITH GENE AND SUE on any of the GeoTrek segments that they might choose. Each of the daily segments is described below.
