SJMA in conjunction with the US Forest Service, Pagosa and Bayfield Ranger Districts, is hosting educational geology hikes, free for the public, from May through October. These interpretive hikes, led and presented by geologists Dave Bouquet and Scott McAllister, will be in an area of the San Juan National Forest rich with evidence of earth’s geologic history from some of the area’s oldest metamorphic rocks, to Cretaceous seaways, to Tertiary volcanoes, to modern glacial deposits.
“Marine Fossils at 8000 ft?” – Coyote Hill Loop Trail
Walk through Ponderous Pine meadows to a beautiful overlook of Pagosa Peak. During this hike, we’ll go off trail and climb to some ridge-forming limestone outcrops in the Mancos formation that contain marine fossils and numerous calcite crystals. Learn why this area was covered by an inland sea for 30 million years during the Cretaceous period.
Trail Description: This is an ~5 loop hike with approximately 450 ft of gentle elevation gain. With stops to discuss the geology of the area, you can expect a time commitment of 4 hours. Pack a lunch or snack as we will be taking a break from the overview stop.
When: September 17, 2026 from 9am – 1pm
Where: Group will meet at the Coyote Hill Trailhead, ~6 miles north of Pagosa Springs on County Road 600 (Piedra Road). Note on Google maps and other sites, this is called the Coyote Hill Trailhead (on the right) and not to be confused with the Turkey Springs trailhead just before it on the left. Note that neither of these trailhead parking lots have a restroom.
What to Bring:
Cost: Free, $10 donation is greatly appreciated!
Please Note: Although pets are allowed in the national forest, we ask that pets be left at home as a courtesy to the other guests in the group.
Registration is required. Spaces limited to 25 attendees.

“Golden Aspens and Geology of the South San Juans” – V Rock Trail Hike
This time we will be climbing through endless stands of golden aspens to an amazing series of overlooks at the top of the V Rock trail. Along the way, the guide will describe how the San Jan Mountains were created and how this southern part of the range differs from main body of the San Juans.
Trail Description: This is an ~5 mile out and back hike with approximately 1100 ft of elevation gain. Most of the ascent is covered in the first 1.5 miles with the trail flattening at the top. With stops to discuss the geology of the area, you can expect a time commitment of 4.5 hours. Pack a lunch as we will be taking a break at one of the overview stops up top. We’ll be watching for thunderstorm activity and may need to cut the hike shorter if weather conditions dictate.
When: October 1, 2026 from 9am – 1:30pm
Where: Group will meet at the Buckles Lake Trailhead. Head south on Highway 84 out of Pagosa Springs. After ~20 miles, turn left on FR 663. Follow FR 663 for 6.4 miles where there will be a turn to the right to stay on FR 663. After the right turn you’ll arrive at the trailhead is less than a mile. Note again, on Google Maps and other navigation sites, the trailhead is called Buckles Lake. Both the Buckles Lake and V Rock trails start there.
