Friends of the Library presents a new travelogue: American Grand Natural Vistas in Cranbrook’s Southern Backyard. Take a virtual summer adventure in the USA; camping, hiking, backpacking, and four-wheeling in Idaho and Wyoming’s national parks & national forests. However, smoky the skies and omnipresent the threat of fire, all roads remain open and the gasoline is almost free.
May 15 (Tuesday) 7:30 p.m. College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre. Admission by donation to the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library. A travelogue by Dan Hicks, from his solar eclipse excursion of August and September 2017; a follow-up to his Yellowstone National Park backcountry travelogue last year.
