About this Event

The hype

You've never seen Central Park like this. You never thought something as dull and dead as grey and brown rocks could feel so alive and full of wonder. You never thought that people who would join something as obscure as a rock tour would be so dope.

The curriculum

After your tour, you'll be an expert on

1) Rock types, mineralogy, stratigraphy, metamorphic and igneous processes, regional tectonics, orogenesis, glacial geomorphology.

2) The geologic history of Manhattan and the Tri-State Area

Put it on your CV.
