Rich Henke adventurer and photographer will present a slide program of a 3-month journey through Northern India. Ladahk and Zanskar in the far north are the home of vibrant Tibetan culture that is "more Tibetan than Tibet." Join Rich as he describes a 24-day trek crossing 3 mountain ranges with passes as high as 17,000 feet. View colorful Tibetan festivals where monks dance in elaborate costumes. Drive across the highest motorable road in the world. View 1,000 year old art in ancient monasteries that take days to reach.

Harwood Lodge
Harwood Lodge was built in 1930 as a memorial to Aurelia S. Harwood, past president of the Sierra Club and Angeles Chapter leader. The lodge stands today as a place to get away from the city and enjoy the solitude of clear mountain air and blue skies. Click here for more information on the lodge and related activities.
