This is the opening to the Indian Cave. There are
many kinds of rocks here.

  identify
• conglomerate rock and look for fossils.

The stick is someones abandoned walking stick.

• Do you think you could fit through this opening?

Notice the bigger rocks in this section of
conglomerate.

• What would it take to move these big rocks?

7
Why do you think this bark is green?

• It is covered with a plant called lichen, a
  non-flowering plant. Look for it on trees, rocks
  or the ground.

What red thing is hanging from the tree?

This is a closer view of the red thing. Notice
how it is attached to the branch. It is called a
GALL. It is a house made by an insect called a
GALL-WASP.

• Why do you think there is a hole in the bottom of
  this gall? Why isnt it as shiny as the other
  one?

.Look at this layered sedimentary rock. See
how it is broken away in straight lines.

• Notice the plant growing straight out of the rock.

12
Look at this stripe of rock in the hillside. It
is called a dike and is formed when lava escapes
from a volcano by filling cracks in rocks. This
action is called intrusion.

• The middle stripe comes from a volcano so what
  kind of rock is it?

These cat tails are found by the creek. See if
you can find the seeds from the cat tails on the
ground.

You might see flowers along the trails. Use your
five senses to locate as many kinds of wildlife
as possible.

This plant is called poison oak and will give you
a very bad rash if you touch it or get it on your
clothes. It can have red, green, or even
yellowish leaves. The leaves are grouped in
threes. Be careful NOT to go near these leaves.

This is Paradise Falls. Notice how the path of
the creek is not straight, but curves in and out.

  We will look for evidence of life at the bottom
  of the pond.

Look at the vertical layers of rock in the
picture. What would cause the layers to move
