Field Trip Travel Journal

For my field trip travel journal, I decided to visit South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado. I visited in the early morning, and hiked to the top as the sun was rising. Along the way, I was able to view all kinds of interesting rocks. These rocks included many of the igneous variety, including Basalt and Zeolites. There are two different kinds of basalt rocks, latite and shoshonite. These two different classifications can be distinguished by what minerals they are composed of.
