Parowan Gap offers interpretive equinox tour

PAROWAN — An interpretive tour of Parowan Gap followed by watching the sun set from the equinox cairns will be held Saturday beginning at 6 p.m.    

The evening event will start with a guided interpretive walk through the narrow Gap opening, which will include an explanation of how the Gap was formed and interpretation of several solar and lunar calendar petroglyphs. At 7 p.m. the group will drive four-tenths of a mile to the trail to the equinox cairns (a rock pile monument). From there the group will hike two-tenths of a mile up to the equinox cairns.    

Those attending the event are encouraged to wear hiking shoes and dress warm, in case the wind is blowing.
