Join the Rockville Science Center for a tour of the geology of Cunningham Falls State Park with geologist Jake Margolis. Learn about the Park’s 600 million years of geologic history that includes volcanoes, continental breakups, continental collisions and the intense heat and pressure the region was subjected to. Enjoy some time hiking and enjoying fall foliage. The tour will include a written guide, which will be sent to participants prior to the trip. Stops will include an introductory talk, an easy hike (15 minutes) to the falls on the Lower Falls Trail, a moderate hike (30-45 minutes) option on the Cliff Trail returning from the falls, a lunch stop at the lake dam (30 to 60 minutes) and a hike on the Misery Trail to Cat Rock (2 hours).
Note: Must be 12 and older. No drop offs. Under 18 need adult.
