Field trips

The club organizes outings to locations around the state and beyond to find and (legally) collect rocks. Trips are led by experienced rockhounds who can show you the ropes. Most are day trips but a few involve overnight stays. All trips are child friendly.

We also encourage trips led by affiliated rock clubs and the Washington State Mineral Council.
