The society last visited the crater in 1974 on a trip led by the late Eugene M. Shoemaker and one of his former students, Susan W. Kieffer, who is now the distinguished Charles R. Walgreen Jr. Chair at the University of Illinois. Like their guidebook, the following document provides a trail-oriented geological tour of the crater. The current guidebook relies heavily on the work of these authors, for which I thank them, but also incorporates lessons learned about impact cratering during the intervening 30+ years. In addition, the geological processes involved in the formation of the crater have been broken down into a series of discrete topics. The goal is to illustrate how our understanding of those topics has evolved over the past 100+ years of study at the crater and how observations at the crater have influenced them. While our understanding of the processes involved in the crater’s formation have grown, there are also a great number of topics that still nee
