Wednesday, May 28, 2014. The 10 most incredible places I have stood. In celebration of Earth Day, Geotripper. He encouraged his readers to play along so I started making my list. I found the endeavor harder than it seems because for I lived in Utah, and each and every place in southern Utah that I visited could have been part of this list. In refining my list, I tried to include places that were more than just incredible for their geology, but also hold special meaning to me.

Lessons learned by a geology student and enthusiast. Once I got moderately oriented I took the only visible route back out of the cirque, which just happened to be up the very steep sidewall. Definitely wore me out, but I figured it was the safest route. I had been told to be mindful of quickly dropping cloud cover in Ireland, and now I see why. Here is a picture of the cirque I visited yesterday, and one from the perspective of the cirque.
