Roadside Geology of Wyoming (Roadside Geology Series) (Roadside Geology Series)
Product Review As John McPhee noted in In Suspect Terrain, one of the unintended consequences of large highways is how much they help geologists -- and casual travellers -- learn about geology by exposing geological strata in roadcuts. There are no better books for roadside geologizing than the Roadside geology series. When I had a car, a copy of the appropriate title from the series was always on the dashboard, ready for consultation whenever an interesting formation or landscape appeared around the next bend. This is just one of a large series of Roadside geology books. Take your pick(s), and learn about the Earth on your next trip!

The book starts with an introduction to geology in Wyoming, then proceeds to describe specific regions of the state and the geology that characterizes them." --Dan Whipple, Star-Tribune (Casper, Wyo.) Reader Reviews This book is a must have book for travel in this state. Besides making the long miles go by faster it is educational and you will learn why this place looks like it does.
