Tours:

The flint quarries can only be viewed by a ranger-led guided tour.  Tours are offered by reservation only.  Please call for tour times, and give park staff ample time to schedule a tour.  A few days in advance is best.

Any size group is welcome to take the tour, but groups of less than twenty-five are recommended. The tour involves a 1 mile round trip hike up a moderately steep trail that is covered with loose gravel in places.  Comfortable sturdy walking shoes are recommended.  Reservations may be made by writing the Superintendent, Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument,  P.O. Box 1460, Fritch, Texas 79036 or by calling park headquarters at:  (806) 857-3151.
