Guided Hike on Canaan Geology

A state since 1863, West Virginia was actually millions of years in the making. The mineral wealth and natural beauty of West Virginia owe much to geological processes that began eons ago. Without geological processes, there would be no rocks, rivers, coal, oil or gas, minerals, or scenic beauty. "Indeed, there would be no mountains in the mountain state," says survey geologist Jim Britton.

If you don't know limestone from sandstone or granite from gravel there are two activities to attend, the evening program that Jim offers explains, and explores the mysteries of rock. The next morning, attendees roll out for a hike to learn about geology, topography and more. The west Virginia Geological Survey folks folks are the experts presenting this program series.
