Hone your observation skills as we examine the late season growth along the Karl Stirner Arts Trail. Meet at the 13th St parking lot

If the history of earth was written in a book with one page per year that book would be 100 miles thick. Come join us on a walking tour through time on the Karl Stirner Arts Trail. We will walk one mile from the formation of the earth 4.6 billion years ago to the present. Each step will take us 2 million years forward through time to the present. We will see earth’s pivotal changes including when the crust cooled, when life started, and how all of human history compares to the vast geological history of our planet.
