Summer Solstice Walks
June 20, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
Event Navigation
Start your summer with a trip to Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center for a special guided tour on Friday, June 20, the summer solstice. Three walks will occur at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 7 p.m. Each walk will include one mile of easy walking and last about two hours.
Learn the reasons for the mounds and how some are aligned to track the sun’s movement throughout the year. The 7 p.m. walk will allow the observation of twilight wildlife and a view of the sunset at the mounds site, which is the most important part of the event.
The center is located three miles east of Spiro on Highway 9/271 and four miles north on Lock and Dam Road. If you need further information about the Summer Solstice Walks or the center, please call 918-962-2062.
