Visit an ancient beach in our backyard! This small but very unique and fragile exposure of Fox Hills sandstone was deposited as a beach 67 million years ago as the Rocky Mountains uplifted and the inland sea retreated. Join geologist and volunteer naturalist Sue Hirschfeld on an easy walk to see the fossils and unusual geologic features formed in this near-shore marine environment. Please wear hiking shoes or boots – there’s lots of prickly pear cactus!

I got hooked on being in nature as a kid wandering the palmetto scrub and backwaters of west coast Florida in search of critters and fossils. Though a third-generation geologist, I’ve never earned a dime with my geology degree. For 3 years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, I taught secondary school geology, chemistry, math, and general science. A second degree in graphic design led to a career in technical and scientific illustration. I have been volunteering as a naturalist since 1976.
