The Trail of Time, located on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, is an interpretive walking timeline that focuses on vistas and rocks, and invites visitors to ponder, explore, and understand the magnitude of geologic time and the stories encoded in Grand Canyon's rock layers and landscapes.
The Trail recently won an Interpretive Media Award from the National Association for Interpretation (NAI). The award recognizes and promotes excellence in the delivery of natural, cultural, and historical non-personal interpretive services.
A project of geology professors Laura Crossey and Karl Karlstrom, the Trail was funded by an Informal Education Grant from the National Science Foundation in 2005 and completed in 2010. The Trail of Time is part of a research program in informal science education aimed at understanding and improving public understanding of the connection between human time scales and the million year heartbeat of the Earth.
"Park visitors seem to love to touch the rocks, do trail activities, and study the waysides, all in the context of great views within one of the world's most spectacular landscapes," says Karlstrom. (12.19.11)
