Geology Hike - Willow (Laurel Loop)

Our volunteer-led tour will reveal fascinating stories of our park’s ancient environments. We’ll see and better understand the origins of faults, deformation cracks leading upward towards faults, lava filed cracks, sandstone caves, landslides, and types of sandstones from different ages of geologic time. You will note how most of the above features are shown on a geologic map. Ages 9 and up.
