Plan Your Visit

  • Short, educational trail to explore when visiting Dynamic Earth

  • A “Small Adventurers” path on exposed bedrock encourages safe and more challenging trek for young ones

  • A scavenger hunt game encourages young trail users to play along the route and find minerals and native tree species

  • Scenic, picturesque, short, heart pumping
