Introductory Blog by Curtis Stuck



My name is Curtis Stuck, this past August I went on a short trip to Alaska that left me loving the state.  It was an eye opening experience because I typically used to picture the state as nothing more than frozen tundra being drilled for oil.  Obviously I was ignorant to the state's phenomenal environment.  When I found out there was going to be a specific place to study for it's unique and stunning natural architecture the first place that came to mind was Alaska.  I was in Fairbanks, but between my trip through Denali National Park, swimming in the Chena Hot Springs, and hiking Angel Rock I saw a beautiful portion of the state.  With that in mind I can't wait to learn about how the state's natural environment came to be, about how the rock formations that I was climbing around on became what they are today, and about what else I missed when I was there last.
