In the first session of the White Mountains Sense of Place series, join a discussion about hundreds of millions of years of earth history that led to the development of the White Mountains landscape that we see today. Learn how to observe and interpret the White Mountains landscape to understand the dramatic events (volcanoes, mountain uplift, erosion (glaciation) that produced the incredible landscape. Presentation will be followed by a tour of a few geologic stops in the Mount Washington Valley and nearby White Mountains.
