Geology, The Ice Age, and Hudson River School Hike

Join us for a tour of Olana’s geological landscape with Hartwick College Geology Professor, Robert Titus. This program will start from Olana’s Visitor Center. Participants will learn about the geological history of Olana and the forces that shaped the 19th-century Hudson River School artist Frederic Church’s artist-designed landscape. Experience Olana’s landscape with new eyes—the eyes of geologist who sees where science meets storytelling and time travel is possible. We will hike about 1.5 miles with rests, followed by apples and ice water. Wear smart shoes and sunscreen.
