About the event

Would you like to learn how to group like rocks together and discover what makes rocks different from one another? Join a Ranger for an interactive activity about, you guessed it, rocks!

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, wear hiking shoes, and bring water!
