The 1989 SEFOP Field Excursion is centered in the scenic Valley and Ridge province of southwest Virginia. The stops of this trip include a number of features associated with the most recent geomorphic evolution of this part of the folded Appalachians. The main emphasis of the trip is the morphology and genesis of a variety of surficial deposits (block streams, block fields, ancient debris flows) and giant ancient bedrock landslides. Other stops include a look at spectacular solution karst pinnicles, New River terraces and Mountain Lake. All these features will be placed into a framework of the evolution of the present landscape.
