In Southwest Utah near St. George, there is a unique “triple junction” of 3 of physiographic and geologic provinces. Those 3 provinces are the Colorado Plateau, the Mojave Desert, and the Great Basin. Join us on this tour around Southwestern Utah and you will learn how to "read the landscape" and see where certain features can be found, learn about what makes each province different, where to find some of those features, and why this triple junction is so special. Would you like to go on a road trip to find places where this "triple junction" formed spectacular landscapes?
