Jack Turner’s website is Landscapes On Glass.com. Jack visited Mancos Public Library last December to talk about his grandfather, Ansel F. Hall, and his Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition. The program showcased the efforts of Hall, his colleagues, expedition members, and patrons in the 1920s and ‘30s to study and protect areas of the desert southwest, including the proposed creation of Navajo National Park. Many decades later, Hall’s work was a major factor that led to President Bill Clinton designating four national monuments in the areas related to 1933-38 expedition: Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in 1996, and the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, and Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in 2000.
