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.
