In the morning we heard from Doug Yule and Dick Heermance about some of the geologic features that we would see that day. We traveled down the Vermillion Cliffs and onto the Moenkopi formation then onto the Kaibab and Uinkaret plateaus. At the eastern edge of the Uinkaret volcanic field we stopped to examine Pleistocene basalt flows and cinder cones. Further on we stopped along the Toroweap fault where Doug talked about the fault separation and age. Shortly after that we entered Grand Canyon National Park and drove to Tuweep where we set up camp.
