USGS Geologic Investigations Series I-1963, Pamphlet
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1963 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE SKYKOMISH RIVER 30- BY 60 MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R.W. Tabor, V.A. Frizzell, Jr., D.B. Booth, R.B. Waitt, J.T. Whetten, and R.E. Zartman INTRODUCTION From the eastern-most edges of suburban Seattle, the Skykomish River quadrangle stretches east across the low rolling hills and broad river valleys of the Puget Lowland, across the forested foothills of the North Cascades, and across high meadowlands to the bare rock peaks of the Cascade crest. The quadrangle straddles parts of two major river systems, the Skykomish and the Snoqualmie Rivers, which drain westward from the mountains to the lowlands (figs. 1 and 2). In the late 19th Century mineral deposits were discovered in the Monte Cristo, Silver Creek and the Index mining districts within the Skykomish River quadrangle. Soon after came the geologists: Spurr (1901) studied base- and precious- metal deposits in the Monte Cristo district and Weaver (1912a) and Smith (1915, 1916, 1917) in the Index district. General geologic mapping was begun by Oles (1956), Galster (1956), and Yeats (1958a) who mapped many of the essential features recognized today. Areas in which additional studies have been undertaken are shown on figure 3. Our work in the Skykomish River quadrangle, the northwest quadrant of the Wenatchee 1° by 2° quadrangle, began in 1975 and is part of a larger mapping project covering the Wenatchee quadrangle (fig. 1). Tabor, Frizzell, Whetten, and Booth have primary responsibility for bedrock mapping and compilation. -

Analysis of Dishman Hills Structure and Hydrogeology Cole McGregor Eastern Washington University, Department of Geology Abstract: The structural and hydrogeology of Dishman Hills Conservation Area was interpreted to gain a better picture of its interaction with the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie aquifer. The rock in this area is Precambrian Ravalli Group with granitic migmatites. This is due to Figure 9: exhumation causing decompression melting in between the bed layers. Other rocks such as amphibolite, gneiss, schist, quartzite, and phyllite are seen along with granitic dikes (WSDNR). This rock type covers all of the Dishman area and is Precambrian in age. Due to The image shows areas of water ponding that don’t tectonic forces in the Spokane area, fractures have also formed within the Precambrian rock. Water will concentrate in fracture zones, enter the aquifer as green polygons. These seem to be known to be areas of groundwater drainage. -
Preserving Trails and Providing Solutions May-June
PONDEROSA BACK COUNTRY HORSEMEN OF WASHINGTON Preserving Trails and Providing Solutions May-June 2018 VOLUNTEER HOURS DUE BY MAY 25! Please be sure to turn in your volunteer hours to Carol Klar by May 25! Any time you spend working on BCH stuff (phone calls, trail clearing, work parties, paperwork, whatever) counts towards your volunteer hours. If you have questions, give Carol a call. BCHA Annual Board Meeting By Ken Carmichael The BCHA board meeting was held in Airway Heights Washington April 23-25. This annual event is hosted by a different state each year. It is a time to be very proud of being a BCHW member. The team that put on the event did a great job. Our national directors Darrell Wallace and Jason Ridlon had the event brought to Washington and helped arrange for the nice facilities. Alternate Director Bill McKenna coordinated all of the volunteers. BCHW President Kathy Young and many volunteers were on site to help. Among those was PBCH member Doug Bailey helping with registration and other duties. BCHW Executive Director Nicole Sedgwick provided the other states with an update on the status of the Your Membership program and I spoke about the Membership Development Program. Darrell is also Vice President of BCHA. BCHW member Mike McGlenn was elected to the Executive Committee of BCHA. BCHW continues to be a leader among the states. This board meeting provided many opportunities for sharing information among the states and committees. A new feature was a break out into 4 regions to discuss issues. Then each region had the opportunity to discuss these issues with the BCHA 10 standing committees. -
Winter Summits
EVERETT MOUNTAINEERS Recommended Winter Summits Snow and weather conditions greatly influence the difficulty of winter scrambles. Because conditions change very quickly, things like road access, avalanche hazard, strenuousness, and summit success can vary a tremendous amount. So these ratings are only a rough comparison of the peaks. Winter scrambling can be a dangerous activity. Be a smart scrambler -- be willing to turn back if conditions are unsafe. Even a slight deviation from the surveyed routes may affect exposure and avalanche hazard considerably. The fact that a peak is listed here does not represent that it will be safe. Exposure Rating Avalanche Rating A: Falling will only get snow on your face. B: Falling may require self arrest, but usually good A: Usually safe in high, considerable, moderate, and low run-out. avalanche conditions. C: Falling requires self arrest, unchecked falls could B: Often safe in moderate and low conditions. be serious. C: Only recommended in low conditions.
