Description

Along the Lake Champlain shoreline and the rolling hills of western Vermont, this pocket guide invites hikers and families to look past the picnic tables and discover the ancient story written in stone. Concentrating on D.A.R. State Park, Mt. Philo State Forest, and Sand Bar State Park, it blends clear maps, photos, and plain explanations to make the region’s geology accessible.

The book walks readers through rock orientation basics—dip, strike, and the Law of Superposition—using the parks’ exposed limestone and shale as hands‑on examples. Simple diagrams show how tilted layers record ancient tectonic forces, while close‑up images reveal fossil shells that once inhabited a prehistoric sea. Each observation is linked to a broader geological timeline.

Designed for casual field trips, it includes quick checklists and tips that fit a day‑long visit. Anyone curious about Vermont’s ancient seas will find the landscape suddenly richer.
