Welcome to Our City Rocks!

Our mission is to connect city dwellers to the hidden geological wonders that exist all around them. You will learn about different rock types, geologic processes and your neighborhood’s history all in your own backyard. We use the beautiful rocks that make up every city from the buildings, sidewalks, monuments and more to inspire you to see your city through a geologist’s eyes. Join us for a fun Geologic Walking Tour or book your own Geology Class today.
