Summary:
This supplemental road log describes a route up the popular Lobo Canyon (State Road 547), northeast of Grants, New Mexico and ends in Milan, NM. The trip traverses Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks as well as Cenozoic volcanic rocks and passes East Grants Ridge, where limestone, uranium, pumice, and perlite have been mined. The road log also includes a popular mineral collecting locality where micromounts of topaz and garnet are found along with larger Apache tears (obsidian). This road log is an updated and expanded version of the road log that appeared in the 1989 guidebook.
