Travel Series with Jackie April 2021

National Parks offer Extraordinary Experiences but it's not always possible to visit so we are doing the next best thing.

Take a virtual tour with us through Zoom. See the Glory, Hear Nature Sound, Discuss the Journey.

It seems everyone on earth has heard of the Grand Canyon. 5-6 million people from all over the globe visit each year making it one of the most visited parks.

The Grand Canyon contains some of the oldest exposed rock on Earth. The mile-high walls reveal a cross section of Earth’s crust going back nearly two billion years.

Come explore deep into the canyon and get a look at its wildlife and scenery. We will take various modes of transportation: horseback, hiking trails, as well as rafting the Colorado River.

Learn about the history dating back nearly 12,000 years ago to the first account of scientific investigation by naturalist John Wesley Powell for his expedition in 1869.

Come see if you can pinpoint why this park has such allure to the world. Grab a seat and join us for this great virtual ride.
