The first unit this quarter is about weathering and we have some excellent examples of this process all around us. Located one hour south of Denver is the **” Garden of the Gods**” and you can see the remarkable results of physical weathering.

A little farther southwest, for those of you ready for adventure, is “**The Cave of the Winds”** in Manitou Springs. The underground caves have great rooms with examples of chemical weathering. National Geographic also has a show “The Caves of Lechuguilla” with beautiful footage of underground formations and the creatures that live in the dark. ** Earth Sciencecaveofthewinds ** .com/

You can visit both sites for a great one day roadtrip.
