Geology EducationTable at Minnewaska
Sunday, September 22, 2024 09:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Have you ever wondered why the Shawangunk Ridge looks so unique? Why the jagged, rocky outcrops are a dazzling white and why massive boulders lie in heaps at the base of the cliffs? Have these questions and more answered by Josh Grosse, Student Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator. Josh's geology table will feature multiple models and photographs to explain the timeline of how these impressive features came to be, from the recycling of rock from an ancient mountain range to the bulldozing effects of the glaciers that receded during the last ice age. Stop by this educational table outside the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center to have a quick chat before you head out on your hike. All ages are welcome! For more information or questions, please contact the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. This is a drop-in program and pre-registration is NOT required.
