Travel Talk Tuesday (TTT) will greet the new year with our first presentation of 2025 on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at our new starting time of 3:30 p.m. in the La Mesa/La Montana Rooms.
Frank Morris, who arranged and escorted the SaddleBrooke Ranch (SBR) National Parks Club on their six-day bus tour to Moab, Utah, this past fall, will present the scenic geological treasures of Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park, and Monument Valley’s “Valley of the Rocks.” Frank is a retired Geologist (Hydrogeologist) with 30+ years of environmental consulting experience in both public and private sectors of the U.S., who moved with his wife, Sharon, a former travel agent with American Express, to SBR from Colorado seven years ago. He has been an avid traveler since he was a kid, being fortunate to travel with his Pan Am pilot father.
In addition to pointing out the geological features of these areas, he will share photos of arches, vistas, petroglyphs, and tell a bit about the indigenous peoples who called these areas home. He will share information as to how to plan and make the most of visiting these areas whether as a group on a luxury motor coach with knowledgeable tour guides or on your own in your private vehicle.This presentation will be of great interest, especially for those of us who have never traveled to some of our nation’s most spectacular national parks.
You’ll also want to mark your calendar for the Feb. 25 TTT expedition presentation by Barbara Heft about Antarctica and the Arctic.
