Join geologist Richard Allen to learn why as he leads this adventurous hike within the park. This four-mile roundtrip hike includes not only interpretation of the unique geology, but also of South Mountain’s fascinating plants, animals and ecology with naturalist Eric Garton from the Garden's education department.  Do not miss this opportunity to find out what makes South Mountain Park such a special and beautiful place–right in our own backyard!
