Kittitas Valley Field Trip Of all the geologic field trips offered out of the Seattle area, none is more popular than the trip over the mountains to the Kittitas Valley around the town of Cle Elum. This east-side setting offers a refreshing break from the damp climate of the Puget Sound region, and is popular in the spring and fall when the weather is less dependable on the west side. The region features an instructive mix of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, in a setting which illustrates both the principles of stratigraphy and the fundamentals of structural geology. It is an excellent trip for introductory students, yet offers enough variety to be interesting to those with a greater depth of experience. Of no minor significance, it also includes a stop at the renowned Cle Elum Bakery, one of the oldest and best bakeries in the northwest. Given the variety of rocks and the generally good outcrop locations across this region, it would be possible to engineer a number of potential field trips to suit a range of different instructional purposes. Introductory trips are usually characterized by a larger number of stops, designed to illustrate large-scale features and relationships. More advanced trips usually involve fewer stops, with a greater attention to the details offered in the rock record. This version is designed as an introductory – level trip, suitable for students in the latter half of a college-level introductory course. It serves to illustrate the variety of rock types, the basics of stratigraphy and structure, and how the course of geologic evolution can be traced through the rock record. It consists of a dozen stops, making it about a 12-hour round trip from Seattle. Two hours are invested at the last stop, which can be considered optional, however desirable. Geology of the Kittitas Valley The geology of the Kittitas Valley includes metamorphic basement rocks which were added to the continental margin in Late Cretaceous time, per
