Little River Canyon National Preserve: Geologic resources inventory report
Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2022. Little River Canyon National Preserve: Geologic resources inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2022/2469. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2294826
Geologic Resources Inventory reports provide information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, planning and protection of infrastructure, and preservation of natural and cultural resources. Information in GRI reports may also be useful for interpretation. This report synthesizes discussions from a scoping meeting held in 2009 and a follow-up conference call in 2020. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic heritage, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Little River Canyon National Preserve. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data and poster (separate products) is also provided.
