Show THE JORDA N JOURN AL VISIT TO OLD VOLCANOE S NEAR SALT LAitE CITY .. Very few of the residents of Salt Lake Valley are aware of the presence of an old volcanic field 6 miles west of Riverton, its center lying just west of Herriman ncar the junction of the Traverse and Oquirrh Mountains. Old volcanic lavas have been known in this vicinity since the early '60s, but it was not until May, 19:.:5 that the old volcanic vents themselves were postively identified Ly Lee Christensen and Ray Marshall while making a geologic map of the region. The volcanoes have long been extinct and the original cone-shaped piles of lava, cinders, anC: ashes that accumulated around the vents have all been destroyed by erosion. In fact, the volcanoes have been so deeply eroded that the hardened plugs of lava that con.ge::tled in the conduit or throat of the vents have Lecn exposed, and these necks, as they arc called, now iorm prominent topographic features. Although volcanic necks are well kno n in parts of the West, notably in northern Arizona, western Wyoming and eastern Oregon, a similar feature o f the local volcanic necks is the jointing caused by contraction due ..to cooling, which has resulted in the duvelopm..:nt of huge columns or polyg·onal blocks of stone from a few inches to ;} feet or more in diameter and several ie"t lung. These columns are prominently developed near the margins of the massive plugs and they lie in horizontal position with their long dimension pointing inward to.; .l:·d L~ center, like a git•:mtic pile of -.:ord \Jood stacked in a cirt:ular pile. \V ht' 0 t,w dm oi the largesL t,lug .as ' , ~ n broken dow.l by erosion, a larg<J statrcasc made up or rw:k columns has been formed, which possibly accounts for the name Step Mountain, applied to it by the topographers of the U. S. Geological Survey. ..Since Christensen and Marsell re. cognized Step Mountain and its neighbor plugs as volcanic necks in the vents of old volcanoes, a geologist of the U. S. Geological Survey and Dr. Pack, head of the Depart.. ment of Geology a~ the University of Utah, have both visited the area and confirmed their identificatio n. The party left the Salt Lake Thea.. tre at 7:30 a. m. The hikers were: Ruth Burch, Elwood B. Stockman, Mrs. R. P. Brown, Mr. Sidney Smith, C. R Parry, E J. Campbell, Florence Robinson, R. P.
