Ranger conducts a tour of the quarry at Pipestone National Monument
Park Rangers at Pipestone National Monument conduct guided tours of the active quarrying area from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A schedule is posted at the Visitor Center. A guided tour is definitely the best way to learn about the quarries and the quarrying process.
If you are unable to attend a tour, the quarry is always open for self exploration by walking the quarter-mile long Quarry Trail. This is a paved path that is suitable for those in wheelchairs.
Special events are also held at the park throughout the year. For a schedule, visit the National Park Service’s Calendar web page for Pipestone National Monument.
