Join me on the Emmons Moraine to a destination that I have been wanting to see for a few years. While we are on the moraine, you will learn about the glacial features that are visible and about the volcanic rocks that are on the valley walls above you. Binoculars may be helpful on this trip to see the Emmons Glacier and the rock outcrops on the valley walls.
