Geocache Description:

Located in the scenic Breaks Interstate Park, the "Towers" Overlook provides a great view of the effects erosion can have.

This unusual formation demonstrates erosion's effects on different types of rock. Due to the types of rock involved here, the Russell Fork was able to cut almost vertically downward, leaving the hard rock caps and steep-walled canyon behind.

In order to receive credit for this earthcache, you need to send the answers to the following questions to me, via e-mail:

  • 1) What are the two types of rock that are described on the educational sign?
  • 2) Which rock type is the upper material?
  • 3) Which rock type was more easily eroded?
  • 4) According to the sign, what is the elevation of the Towers?

Also, you will need to post a picture of yourself with your GPSr (or just your GPSr) with the Towers in the background.





FTF Congrats to SpongeBob CachePants!!
