amazing state and all it has to offer; unique and complex geology,
northern flora & fauna, and breathtaking scenery!!

1964 earthquake and its Centennial

Arm Tour, Anchorage Geology Tour,
Denali National Park and Healy Valley Coal Mine, Glacial Geology of the
Upper Kenai Peninsula, Wishbone
Hill and Matanuska-Susitna Valley,
