Nee Kee Nee (East Stream) Tour

Description

Take a tour of the recently daylighted Nee Kee Nee, also known as the East Steam!

Learn about all of these components through a guided walk along the stream.This tour will run from 10 am - 11 am.Meet your docent at the back of the Stupp Center and join us for a 1-hour tour along Nee Kee Nee.
