GeoTime Trail
Walk the Waterloo GeoTime Trail and follow the numbered interpretive signs along the route. Each sign represents a different part of Earth’s history and helps visitors understand geological time, rocks, fossils, and major events from the past.
The trail is a good place to learn outdoors while walking through a naturalized green space. Look for signs about ancient rocks, fossils, changing environments, and how Earth has changed over millions of years.
Some signs include QR codes for extra information. Try scanning them as you walk and compare what you see on the signs with the trail, trees, rocks, and surrounding landscape.
Questions for you:
- What time period does each sign represent?
- What kinds of rocks or fossils are shown?
- How does the trail help you understand how long geological time is?
- Which sign teaches you something new about Earth’s history?
The main Waterloo GeoTime Trail sign introduces visitors to geological time, rock layers, fossils, and Earth history.
