Title

Hike to Glaciers End-Giant City State Park

Description

The Illinoisan glacier pushed farther south in Illinois than anywhere in North America, including encroaching on the Northern edges of Giant City Park, reforming the landscape across our region with plentiful evidence of that event that remains today.

Bring your lunch and join Steve Gariepy, experiential education specialist with the SIUC STEM Education Research Center for an interpretive hike to Glacier’s End!
