We are back with another National Parks Road Trip! Visit Utah’s National Parks including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Arches, and Capital Reef. Travel around the U.S. college road trip style as we spend the week sleeping in tents and exploring hoodoos, verdant orchards, petroglyphs, white domes, arches, and canyons. 

Hike through slot canyons in Zion, explore crimson-colored hoodoos in Bryce Canyon, gaze at rock pinnacles and Native American rock paintings in Canyonlands, stand under natural sandstone arches in, you guessed it, Arches, and witness a geologic monocline, a wrinkle in earth, extending almost 100 miles in Capitol Reef. This multisport trip will include 4-wheeling in Moab, canyoneering, camping, and lots of hiking. 

Cost: $650. $100 non-refundable deposit required to register with remainder of $550 due one month before trip departure. 

Cost Includes: Transportation in 12 passenger van to and from WSU, all large equipment needs, entrance into five National Parks, meals on location, ORC Trip Leaders, campsite fees, bus passes in Zion, 4-wheel rentals, and guided canyoneering. 

Activity Level: Beginner. Participants do not need prior experience, but must be physically fit and be comfortable sleeping in tents. 
Physical Challenge Scale: Level 2, this trip is moderate. 
Remoteness Scale: Level 1 & 2, this is a front country trip.
