Springer and Sagebiel will take the group across the fault as it makes it way through the Cajon Pass with stops at Blue Cut and Lost Lake in Lone Pine Canyon. Then, in Wrightwood, they will view the evidence of faulting from a major quake in 1812 and observe the rupture from the last time the San Andreas thundered mightily in southern California, in 1857. At Big Pines, Springer will take participants to the highest point on the San Andreas Fault before descending into the desert to catch up with the fault again where it is spectacularly displayed at Devil’s Punchbowl.
Participants will leave the museum at 7:30am and return at about 5pm. Wear sturdy and comfortable shoes for moderate to strenuous hikes. The cost of $70 per person ($60 for Museum Association members) includes transportation, morning coffee and lunch.
