James Bridger was born March 17, 1804 and, he died in 1881. He had a good sense of humor and loved to tell stories to all of his family and friends, even strangers. He was very adaptable and has explored and lived or should I say survived in lots of different places. Jim Bridger is the first “white-man” to see the Great Salt Lake.

crust subducted. The Pacific plate was pushed under the continental crust, and the upward push of the continental crust led to the formation of the Rocky Mountains, which were once even higher than the Himalayas. The conflict between these plates were buckling, which caused the formation of mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada as well. These mountains eventually eroded and were covered with seawater. (Callen) The uplifting explains the reason why limestone is prominent in the uppermost…

what—he always comes through in the end. Mallory was an extraordinary climber, and nothing would force him to give up. His body was found in 1999, well preserved by the snow and ice, 27,000 feet up the mountain, just 2000 feet from the peak. Give up he did not. His body was found face down on a rocky slope, head toward the summit. His arms were…

Answering the call of Jim Wilke's Frontiers magazine article suggesting the topic, Benemann set to "restore William Drummond Stewart to his place at the table," (2).

The Chadron and Brule Formations were formed from the erosion of the Black Hills and Rocky Mountains due to the uplift from the Laramide Orogeny (Graham, 2008).

All of this sediment caused by the erosion of the Blacks and Rocky Mountains was carried east and…

One of them is the alpine tundra which is a Dry, rocky, and treeless areas near the tops of mountains. Alpine tundra has very few growing plants and a few mammals, such as mountain goats and pika. Another habitat is the Mountains Meadows which is a lush, spongy oases of sedges, wildflowers and shrubs grow at elevations from about 6,000 to 11,000 feet.
