Testimonial:
“Amanda is a marvelous teacher and leader: clear, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun. Thank you so much. I have always wanted to know something about geology but have always lost my enthusiasm within a few pages of whatever book I was reading. Even John McPhee--one of the best nonfiction writers I know--couldn't keep me reading his Basin and Range. This trip was very different. I learned a lot (and want to know more) and added to my ability to enjoy this wonderful area.” - C.T.
