Hike the 'Ologies
Led by Connie B Burkhart
Explore the geology, paleontology, archaeology, anthropology and history of Ghost Ranch and the surrounding area through easy to moderate hikes. We’ll discover the places that tell the stories of the rocks, the people and the fossilized life of the past. Learn how these ‘ologies’ fit together and bring history to life. Participants will enjoy lectures and adventures out in the field and visit sites and important geologic areas.
Participants must be comfortable hiking at 6,500 ft in elevation on uneven terrain with a light pack for water and a sack lunch. Several of our hikes will take us out in the wilderness until early afternoon.
This earth and science-based hiking excursion is a signature program developed and led by Connie B. Burkhart, who weaves together the narrative of the past, to take us back to the period when the first dinosaurs roamed the land that is now Ghost Ranch. Join us for an immersive journey into the “Ologies,” where we hike through the stories of the land and explore the legends of those whose footprints echo through time.

Program Tuition: $675 (does not include Room & Board)
