Our team took Wednesday and Thursday of our planning week to scout out our backcountry route that is about 5-miles from campus! Sure, this may seem like not a huge trek, at least for the graduate students, but to our participants, it will be a really exciting and challenging adventure. I could not believe that the views we saw from our trek and camping trip were in my backyard...literally!
