Synopsis "Geologic Folio Red Rock Canyon Open Space Colorado Springs, Colorado"
Red Rock Canyon Open Space is a 2003 addition to the Colorado Springs park system. The authors draw forth threads of history and geology that follow hundreds of millions of years of Earth history as well as the settlement and industrialization of the Pikes Peak Region. Here is the backstory of the park, from dinosaurs and ancient sand dunes to gold mills and Denver Capitol Hill mansions. The book covers exploration and mapping, geology of Red Rock Canyon (and Colorado Springs), quarrying and mining, and historic buildings using Red Rock stone. Red Rock Canyon Open Space is one of the many locations in the Pikes Peak Region where geology can be seen in the field. Another feature of the book is a scattering of Adult-Kid activities, thought-provoking challenges to be shared by adults and children using the book and, especially, visiting the park. With this book, the authors help make geology more understandable and interesting to the inquisitive visitor, thereby enriching their experience with Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
