On this page, you will find links to other pages that will provide you with more information about planning a field trip to the site, including participation in one of our curriculum based education programs, taking a ranger guided tour, or planning a self guided visit. Teachers planning field trips should be aware that fees are charged for entrance to the site. Fees are often waived for educational groups, but NPS regulations state that groups must write in advance to apply for a fee waiver.
