ST. GEORGE — The National Park Service will host their second annual Geology Jamboree, a festival focusing on the park’s geologic amphitheater and the processes that created it.
The festival, beginning Friday, June 21, and continuing through Sunday, June 23, will highlight rock formations, fossils, and the unique rock layers found at the park, according to a news release issued by Cedar Breaks National Monument.
Start your visit by viewing rock formations through a telescope at the Chessman Ridge Overlook. At the Visitor Center, look at real fossils that could be 90 million years old.
At the North View Overlook, learn to identify rocks and minerals by looking at rocks found at Cedar Breaks, or visit the North View Visitor Center to see how the landscape at Cedar Breaks has changed throughout time. Finally, join a ranger on a walk along the South Rim Trail to learn about the processes that created Cedar Breaks.
