GEOLOGY FIELD TRIP to POINT GREY BEACHES

Photos: These were used originally as an introduction to a guided field trip. Most photos were taken in the 1980s (plus or minus a few years) and some areas now (2005) look quite different. However, the slide set does make an interesting story, and geology classes may find them useful.
