Geological Interpretive Trail Guided Hike

"But why do the rocks look like this?!" This Geological Interpretive Trail Guided Hike is an interpretive program geared towards visitors interested in learning more about the geological processes that helped shape the landscapes of City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rock State Park. Participants will learn about the general geology of the area, the common rock types found within the parks, and the weathering processes that shape these famous granite outcrops.
There will be a short introduction at the visitor center, and then the group will drive their own vehicles to the Circle Creek Overlook parking lot where the trailhead is located.
It is important to note we will be practicing social distancing along the trail: maintaining six feet of distance between each family group, and between yourself and the ranger, even at predetermined stops along the trail. It is recommended to bring rugged shoes for the trail, as the distance is roughly 1.2 miles in length.
The program is limited to 12 individuals. Please sign-up in advance. To ensure you make the sign-up list, please call the visitor center any day from 8 am - 4:30 pm to officially sign up for the date and time you are interested in: 208-824-5901. Reach out if you have any questions as well!
We look forward to having you join us on this fun and engaging interpretive hike!
