EarthScope Adventure at Enchanted Rock

Earth science at work inside Enchanted Rock SNA! Take a short hike with us to examine and learn about our resident EarthScope station.

This program will teach visitors how to read and understand trail and topographic maps, compass interpretation, and how both of these concepts relate to the modern geocaching. Participants will then practice their newfound skills to locate two park geocaches using a paper map, and one using their mobile device!

Meet: Gazebo at Summit Trailhead

Bring: Charged phone, Trail Map (which can be acquired upon check-in at park Headquarters), sunscreen, long pants, good hiking shoes. Optional:  GPS unit.

Cost: Free with park admission. Park admission is free with a Texas State Parks Pass. Day passes can be purchased ahead of time on our website. 

Registration: Email Hannah Pickens ahead of time to reserve your spot. This program will be capped at 15 participants
