Speaker: Cindy Williams
Topic: Sunday Science: Geology of the Arkansas Valley

Description:
Join local geologist Cindy Williams for a talk on how local landscapes have been shaped by some amazing geologic events. The program will start with a brief geologic history of the Chaffee County area. With that history as a framework, we will take a virtual tour of land marks across the county and beyond. What amazing geologic tale connects the “Castles” near Trout Creek pass, Buffalo Peaks, Mt Shavano and Castle Rock? Is it true that Chaffee County was once the home of a massive volcano? Where did the giant boulders on the valley floor come from? Come learn the answers!
