Juneau’s geological history runs deep, both literally and metaphorically, and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum is offering a chance for people to learn more about that history.
Geology experts Dr. Cathy Connor and Mike Blackwell are leading a guided tour Thursday evening to take people through Juneau’s rocky history. The tour is scheduled to go from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and admission is $25 for adults or $20 for children under 12.
Connor is a professor at University of Alaska Southeast, earning degrees in Geology from Stanford before her Ph.D. in Geology from University of Montana. Blackwell is a retired geological engineer and volunteer tour guide who has given various historical tours for the City Museum in the past.
The walk will begin at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum and go about two miles throughout town through mostly downhill or flat terrain. Those interested can purchase tickets at the City Museum or can call 586-3572. Space is limited to about 20 people, and attendees are strongly encouraged to buy tickets in advance.
