Geology Walk: Dakota Trail

Join Park Interpreter and Geology Enthusiast Jennifer for a fun nature walk out in the park. Come travel back in time over 300 million years through the Park’s amazing geology! While the walk will have a geology emphasis, other topics of the park will be covered.

• Approx. 3-mile walk, over paved and dirt trails. Sturdy shoes, hat, water, and sunscreen recommended
• If bad weather, this program will become an indoor program.
• The walk starts outside the Visitor and Nature Center at the flagpole alcove, and ends back at the Visitor and Nature Center
• No Refunds
• During the busy summer months, the Visitor Center parking lot can quickly fill up. We recommend arriving early to secure a parking spot or consider using the overflow lot located across 30th Street. From there, you can take the FREE shuttle or enjoy a 5 minute walk up the paved Foothills Trail to the Visitor Center
• If you have any questions about this program, please email programs@gardenofgods.com
