In July 2024, Glenn Rawson and Dennis Lyman will take you back in time to the Old West. We will board a bus (and wish it was a wagon train) and start our journey out into the sites and scenes of the Old West. We will drive north toward Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Along the way, we learn about the Gold Road, and the history of the fur trappers and traders—those first white men in the Rocky Mountains. In Jackson we learn the story of Jackson’s outlaw origins and its settlement and development as a modern city clinging to a wild past. And from there into the wild country of the Yellowstone—America’s first national park. Please imagine the mountain sights and scenic vistas that will come before your camera.
