Do you ever look at Santa Barbara’s beautiful mountains–or islands offshore–and wonder how they got there? Do you wonder why our coastline extends east-west and our ocean is in the south? Join retired SBCC Geology instructor Jan Dependahl for an exciting geologic excursion through the Santa Barbara Coastal Plain to discover why. This day’s adventure, recommended for ages 12 and up, will leave you understanding Santa Barbara’s geologic history and setting, and you will have a fantastic time!

This driving trip will begin and end at Santa Barbara City College and will cover areas from the Santa Barbara Riviera to West Goleta.
