This tour introduces learners to the geology of the Rocky Mountain region. It recounts an automobile trip northward along the Peak-to-Peak highway in Colorado. Each stop consists of an annotated photograph of a vista or road cut.

Historic Boulder is a virtual field trip showing the variety of pure and mixed architectural styles in one neighborhood in Boulder, Colorado. (And yes, the are addresses are fictional.) Take special notice of how many ways the "tourist" can find information.
