Description
Registration is required. Please complete waivers online if possible.
We will walk up 2nd Line EHS into Mono Cliffs Park.
Why are there cliffs in the park? Are there any fossils? This leisurely hike will make many stops to look at rocks and talk about the geological history of the area. Don’t forget to bring your camera.
We will use several side trails, mostly the Walter Tovell and South Outlier Trails, to visit the north and south Outlier exposures.
Please wear sturdy footwear as there are hills and stairs. Pack water, snacks and dress for the weather.
Suitable for children over 10 years old.
