Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and the Middle Rocky Mountains part of Integrating Research and Education:Montana Geoheritage Project:Montana-Yellowstone Geologic Field Guide Database:MT Field Guides
This trip is designed to show participants the granite-cored Laramide (Late Cretaceous-earliest Eocene) mountain ranges in the middle Rocky Mountains, and their various stages of burial by Cenozoic deposits and subsequent Quaternary exhumation. Mountain-flank structures involving Precambrian, Paleozoic, and Mesozoic rocks, the classic Heart Mountain detachment fault complex, and the rootless overthrust mountain ranges of the Wyoming-Utah-Idaho thrust belt are traversed.

Road Log to the Picket Pin Mountain, Chrome Mountain and Contact Mountain Areas part of Integrating Research and Education:Montana Geoheritage Project:Montana-Yellowstone Geologic Field Guide Database:MT Field Guides
This road log describes the geologic features along the access roads for three additional traverses: Guide to the Picket Pin Mountain Area, Guide to the Chrome Mountain Area, and A Traverse Through the Banded Series in the Contact Mountain Area. "This trip requires nearly 2 hours without stops. Beyond 12.5 miles, the road is rough and steep in places; a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended.

A Traverse Through the Banded Series in the Contact Mountain Area part of Integrating Research and Education:Montana Geoheritage Project:Montana-Yellowstone Geologic Field Guide Database:MT Field Guides
This traverse through the Banded Series of the Stillwater Complex follows the section described in detail by McCallum and others (1980)....Unusual or particularly interesting features are highlighted by the 22 localities along the traverse. In view of the nearly continuous outcrop, however, there is much of interest to see between localities, and full appreciation of the entire section would require several days. Nonetheless, most of the important rock types can be seen on a 1-day trip.

Plutonism at Deep Crustal Levels: The Idaho Batholith, Montana and Idaho part of Integrating Research and Education:Montana Geoheritage Project:Montana-Yellowstone Geologic Field Guide Database:MT Field Guides
The Idaho batholith field trip traverses a well exposed cross-section of the northern Idaho batholith, briefly examines the broad aspects of this deep-seated granitoid batholith and its regionally metamorphosed country rocks, and considers the role of the synplutonic mafic magmas from the mantle in providing heat for melting of continental crustal rocks to form the more felsic main-phase units of the batholith.
