Canyon and Desert Orientation Photos!

For more information about the different Orientation trips lead by the Colorado State University - Pueblo Experiential Learning Center, please check out their webpage.
The Desert Orientation trips were ran each spring break to the desert southwest. We drove from Colorado through New Mexico to Arizona, stopping in Tucson's Desert Museum along the way. We backpacked for 3 nights in Oregon Pipe National Park, then went on in to Sonora, Mexico and stayed along the beach to learn tidepool ecology and (of course) lounge on the beach!

The Canyon Orientation trips went each May after classes, for a week long adventure in Utah's canyon country. An incredible trip!!!
