Tours:
The flint quarries can only be viewed by a ranger-guided tour. Tours are offered by reservation only. Tours are generally offered everyday at 10 AM and 2 PM. Please call to confirm tour times. Give park staff ample time to schedule a tour--a few days in advance is best.
Any size group is welcome to take the tour, but groups of less than twenty-five are recommended. The tour involves a 1 mile round trip hike up a moderately steep trail that is covered with loose gravel in places. Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes are recommended. Other items you may want include water, sunscreen, sunhat, or jacket, depending on the weather.
Reservations may be made by writing the Superintendent, Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, P.O. Box 1460, Fritch, Texas 79036, or by calling park headquarters at (806) 857-3151.
