Modesto Junior College Eastern Sierra Field Study

Complete Photo Journal

The photo journal above links to photos of the first MJC Geology Field Study since the 2020 pandemic shutdown, led by the incomparable Garry Hayes!

​This amazing 4-day trip took 18 students, 3 vans and the Hollisters in our Subaru to explore the Sonora Pass corridor, the areas near Mammoth and finally up and over Tioga Pass. It was an awesome trip based out of YCCD's Baker Station near Kennedy Meadows along SR 108. Laura and I tagged-along as volunteer speakers and were thankful to have met so many cool students on the trip. 

Check out the link to the photo journal for all the photos, specific locations and some explanations of the geology.
