About the event

Festival of Science: Downtown Geology Tour
Join Willow Bend and geologist Danny Foley for a 45 minute-1 hour walking tour, based on local Flagstaff author Marie Jackson’s Stone Landmark’s book. An exclusive and unique opportunity for the community to explore downtown like never before.

The tour will cover ancient history of stones used to build downtown’s iconic buildings, including Moenkopi Sandstone, Pumiceous Dacite, Kaibab Limestone, and Malapais Basalt. In addition tours will highlight progression of architectural styles, discuss changing preferences for certain rock types, and provide an overview of historic events. Participants will search for fossils on the Ice House walls, find out what stone is referred to as “Arizona Red”, visit the layers of the "Grand Canyon" at Heritage Square, view beautiful stone etchings, and more.

Tours will meet at 1:00pm- meeting location sent 3 days before the event. The tour is FREE and will be limited to 20 participants, so please sign up in advance. Comfortable walking shoes, water and a sun hat are recommended. Tour is wheelchair and stroller accessible and suitable for all ages.
