Cougar Mountain Field Trip Guides

AEG Puget Sound and Nisqually Chapters hosted a geo-hiking field trip in Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park in September 2021. For those unable to attend, or for those wishing to revisit the stops from the trip, the field guide and maps are linked below.

The maps are geo-PDFs, meaning you can import them to smartphone apps like Avenza (free!) to see your GPS location on the map!

Geohazard Hiking on Cougar Mountain: Presentation Recording and Field Guide

Thanks to all who attended one of Tom Doe’s presentations on geologic features around Cougar Mountain. Slides from the presentation and a handy field guide are available if you would like to go on the hike yourself.

The slides and field guide also include an additional hike that we didn’t have time for during the virtual meeting! Check it out using the buttons below.

If you were not able to attend the meeting, you can also view the recording below.
