Please Note: This program has a rescheduled date (originally January 15, 2025).

Join naturalist Keith Tomlinson on a virtual Great Western adventure from South Dakota into Wyoming and the mighty heights of Yellowstone. He highlights geology, biogeography, wildlife, conservation initiatives, native peoples, and recreational opportunities along the way.

The journey begins at the colorful Badlands National Park, moves on to Mount Rushmore, and then to the grand volcanic monolith of Wyoming’s Devils Tower. Adventuring farther west, take in the remote Cloud Peak Wilderness, crown jewel of the often-overlooked Big Horn Mountains. Tomlinson concludes with a discussion of Yellowstone National Park and its extraordinary ecology balanced delicately atop one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas.
