What does ancient geology mean to us today? Historic and modern mining, made possible by remarkable geologic processes, creates jobs and impacts our lives in many ways. Travel along with Paul Lindberg, our local geological guru whose explanations make it easy for anyone to understand the processes that formed our landscape. There will be lots of stops along the way including a peek into the open pit mine, and a visit to Jerome State Historic Park with breath-taking views from the mountain.

 

*=Birding is not the emphasis of this trip.
