Where's the best place to take a girl interested in geology, in California?

Question

That is Southern California.

Answer 1

Mt Shasta, in northern CA- it's a 14,182 ft (active) composite cone volcanoe, that has a beautiful little town beneath it, the town of Mt Shasta (w/ a fabulous view of the mountain). And there're other volcanoes near it too, such as Black Butte- a cinder cone volcanoe, & SO MANY geological landmarks- she will flip out! Oh, & Mt Shasta is where the Headwaters of the Sacramento River are, the natural springs that come right out of the mountain from the glacial melts & very good to drink ((there's a little park there- very nice, & it's considered Healing waters).

Also, Lassen Volcanic Nat'l Park in northern CA. It's amazing! (Probably best to go b/t Apr-Oct, otherwise the higher roads may be closed d/t heavy snow.)

Burney Nat'l Park, near Redding, is also great- a set of beautiful waterfalls w/ a very interesting geological (& otherwise) history.

Northern CA is loaded w/ volcanic areas & picturesque lakes. There're also lots of caves/caverns to visit in CA.

Hope this helps (even though you asked for Southern- oops, just saw that- yeah, I am partial to the north I guess).

Answer 2

Is LA is california?

If so why not go to the breir tar pits it in the city next to some big sky scrapers. sorry i can't give better directions.

I went there a few years back really cool FOSSILS which a kind of geologey based. They have a really funky animals there, like giant ground sloaths abd stuff, seriously i'd take her there.

Answer 3

Yosemite Nat'l Park
Lassen Volcanic Nat'l Park

sorry, those are not So Cal.

Mojave Desert?

Unfortunately, I think the more interesting geology is in the north.

Answer 4

Easy! Take her to the Trilobite beds outside of Amboy, California! She'll have a blast and you get to keep what you find!

Answer 5

La Brea?

Answer 6

Wherever she wants to go.
