July 17th (Sun) 2022 Field Trip to Greenwater (agate, jasper, common opal)

Past Field Trips

On July 17th 2022, (note this is a Sunday; picnic is on July 16th) we are going up to the Greenwater area near Mt. Rainier for Black Agate, Jasper, Opal and Petrified Wood.  Bring dig and hard rock tools.  We’ll visit multiple sites which are next to the road, so no hike involved.
Meet at 8:45 at the Enumclaw Ranger Station.  Group leaves promptly at 9:00.  We’ll first go up to the FR72 sites and then in the afternoon, up FR70 to the Government Meadows area.
A high clearance vehicle is recommended.  My Hyundai Santa Fe gets me there.
