Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Tonto National Monument, Arizona
KellerLynn K. 2006. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Tonto National Monument, Arizona
The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting near Roosevelt, Arizona, for Tonto National Monument on Tuesday, May 9, 2006. Before the “formal” meeting, Brad Traver (superintendent, Tonto National Monument) and Duane Hubbard (resource program manager, Tonto National Monument) led a short field trip to the lower cliff dwelling. While hiking, participants passed through various rock units: Barnes conglomerate (cobbles in wash), Gila conglomerate (formed basins during faulting and uplift), and the Dripping Spring quartzite, in which the caves formed and the Salado people built their cliff dwellings. Discussion during the meeting addressed geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues related to these features and processes, and potential monitoring and research needs.
