Oh Colorado Mountains


By Karah Teague

Oh Colorado mountains,
How colors fill your canyons.
The sandstone, how it burns and shines all shades of red.
What mysteries lie beneath the sediments bed?
Time trapped beneath the shell and ash of the mighty volcano.
What part of life will the fossils show?
Oh Colorado mountains what beauties do you hold?
Granite that shows a slight sparkle for the eye to behold.
Gold and rich-filled minerals buried beneath.
Your sunsets and flowers, who else can compete?
Oh Colorado mountains how dear you are to me.

Welcome! This is the gateway to adventure and discovery

Through this blog pebble pups and junior members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society can access their lessons, work on assignments and projects, and receive details about field trips in the Pikes Peak Region. This Internet program is also suitable for young people who are interested in Earth science but do not live near a rock club or gem and mineral society or for young people anywhere who want a deeper dive into these topics. The only requirement is that all participants must be members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society and must fill out the CSMS membership form (under important websites) and send their registration and membership fee in. Steven Veatch is the senior instructor and will need an email from you with your name, address, phone number, and permission from your parents to participate in this program.
