About this trail:
Tar sands are impregnated sands that yield mixtures of liquid hydrocarbon and require further processing other than mechanical blending before becoming finished petroleum products. Oil sands recovery processes include extraction and separation systems to remove the bitumen from sand and water. Read more facts and information on tar sands.
