Mr. Nolde's Virtual Fieldtrips |
|
Hop on the bus and explore a little bit of our beautiful country!
Virtual Fieldtrip Stop #1:
Virtual Fieldtrip Stop #2:
Chalk Pyramids,
Kansas -In all of my
years of traveling around the United States in search of really cool
geological sites, very few places rank right up there with just how
spectacular Chalk Pyramids is! Hopefully, my photography of this
unique area will inspire you to make a visit to this out-of-the-way
place too!
Virtual Fieldtrip Stop #3:
Toadstool Geologic Park,
Nebraska -Check out just how powerful the effects of wind and water can be by
visiting this landscape! We stopped by this peculiar geologic park one
hot afternoon on our drive out to Washington where we hiked the northern
section of the Pacific Crest Trail. The temperature in the shade
registered at about 102ºF. Although it was very hot in the mid-day sun, it was well
worth the experience! Hope that you enjoy this as well!
Virtual Fieldtrip Stop #4:
Devils
Tower National Monument, Wyoming -It seems hard to believe that
if you were to travel around this country only 100 years ago, you
wouldn't find ANY national parks or national monuments! It wasn't until
September of 1906 that President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Devils
Tower to be our nation's first monument. Devils Tower rises nearly
1300 feet above the meandering Belle Fourche River in northeastern
Wyoming. Once hidden below the earth's surface, erosion has slowly
stripped away the softer rock layers revealing Devils Tower.
Virtual Fieldtrip Stop #5:
Arches
National Park, Utah - Here
we go!! Our next stop explores one of my favorite
national parks. Not only are there some pretty amazing looking
arches, but wait until you check out some of the other cool looking
rock formations too!
