Our monthly-guided geology hike will be held at 1:00 p.m on the 2nd Sunday of the month from October through May. The program starts with a presentation in the theater.

The program typically lasts two hours and is included with park entrance fees.
Red Rock State Park is located at the base of the Mogollon Rim, the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The escarpment is over 200 miles long and ranges in height from 2,000 to 3,000 feet over the valley below. Over millions of years of erosion the rim has receded over four miles leaving behind the picturesque features of Sedona.

Join a volunteer naturalist for a presentation and walk that examines fascinating story of the pre-Columbian people who lived and traveled in the park. Red Rock State Park has been a destination for Native Americans for several millennia. Most of the ancient features found in the park are from the Sinagua culture dating about 1100 to 1425 AD. The walk portion of the program will identify the various archaeological features visible from park trails and interpret them into the wider context of important regional Sinagua sites. The program lasts about 2 hours.
The program is included with park entrance fees. However, space is limited so call the park to reserve you spots at the beginning of the month of the presentation, (928) 282-6907.
