Fossil Bed Discovery Hike

Kick off the Falls of the Ohio hiking season with our first 1 PM hike. Discover the wonders of the fossil beds with a park naturalist. We will look at Devonian marine fossils and discuss how they lived, what they ate, how / why they were preserved. Hike lasts 60 minutes. Meet on deck. We walk down 60 steps to fossil beds and return via ramp. (Or use ramp if participants have problems with steps.) Please wear shoes suitable for walking on rocks. Grab a Falls Fossil Challenge page from the receptionist and try to find all the fossils to win a prize.
