As observers walk the 600 foot path, they pass through 600 million years of geologic time and each of the major geologic periods. Earth Science students explain the Rocky Mountain region as it appeared during each geologic period.
Hundreds of students and many adults visit the Walk Through Time during an Open House.
Sixth graders learn about the Cambrian Period "explosion" of life.
On a beautiful spring day, students listen attentively as they learn about fish who swam in this area during the Devonian Period.
Student tour guides point out that a dragonfly had a wingspan of close to one meter during the Pennsylvanian Period.
