Experience & Explore!
Tours provide a rare opportunity to experience the earth infrastructure that normally lies 40 feet below the surface. During a 3-hour tour you will walk among the exposed fault zone, identify fossils, explore the Early Cretaceous limestone formations, photograph dinosaur footprints, and even follow aquifer waters as they course through the Gorge as springs, channels and waterfalls.
Sign Up for a Tour, August-September
