Geological Eras Tour

10/6/2024 | Mastodon State Historic Site | Imperial, MO

Join us on our own (Geological!) Eras Tour on Spring Branch Trail. We will travel back in time and explore the geological eras. During this easy 0.8-mile walk, we'll cover 550 million years of planetary and evolutionary history. This to-scale hike will inform visitors about the chronological relationship between major geological events, mass extinctions and the evolution of various species.

This program will take place on Spring Branch Trail, a looped trail with a packed gravel surface. Participants should meet at the trailhead in the picnic area, located at 1800 Seckman Road.

This is a FREE interpretive program for all ages. Space is limited, and registration is required. To register, visit icampmo.com, or call or text the site interpreter at 636-215-9784.
