About This Event
This hike focuses on interpreting the beautiful landscape of Cherokee Ranch. The hike goes over Raccoon Knob and Cherokee Mountain. Participants will learn how to interpret the sedimentary layers and decode the past — Massive Sluds, deeply volcanic eruptions, and the flood plain of an ancient river containing trees are just some of the amazing geology. Hike Difficulty: Moderate (a hike is between 1 and 3 miles and typically follows primitive trails with limited elevation gains). Hike Guide: John McKinney. Climb Raccoon Knob and Cherokee Mountain, approximately 2.5 hours.
