REED COLLEGE CANYON STREAM WITH QUARTZITES AND BASALTS.
Register for this Johnson Creek Watershed Council event at Eventbrite.
The Johnson Creek Watershed contains volcanoes, Missoula flood deposits, and the oldest rocks in the Portland Metro. Though this dramatic geologic history is usually obscured by vegetation and development, the creek cuts a slice down through the geologic layer cake to reveal the rock formations underlying Gresham, Southeast Portland, and Milwaukie.
Grab a pint at the Eagle Eye Tavern and find out more at this science talk, by the GSOC's own Paul Edison-Lahm. This is a collaboration between GSOC and the Johnson Creek Watershed Council.
