About this Event
Join us at the Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology (IMMG), next to the Old Pen, for a fun time geode-cracking, an easy 40-minute geology-hike on the nearby hillside and a Museum visit.
If you have never seen a geode cracked open with a giant pipe-cutter, you are in for an exciting moment. What Mother Nature has created is truly amazing.
Geode-cracking takes place in 6 half-hour sessions from noon-3pm outside under shade canopies on the grass of the historic Women’s Ward. Please register at your preferred time.
Take a hike before or after your session. Hikes scheduled between 12:30 and 2pm.
Delicious hot dogs will be on sale by Updog Street Food beginning at 11:30 am.
