All Ages

Stomp back in time and learn about the marvelous Cretaceous creatures that once roamed these lands on this family-friendly hike, meander through the valleys of the badlands exploring the wonders of the ancient past and discovery of the present. Learn about how palaeontologists uncover the dinosaurs that are lying just beneath the hills, and try your hand at fossil finding in the field.
