Hike Bryce National Park
Academic Noncredit
Students will develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the environment in Bryce canyon National Park. This will be accomplished by traveling and hiking in the area and experiencing the environment first-hand. Some topics covered include: natural history, geology, ecology, resource management, and developing or improving general outdoor skills (risk management, camping, hiking, etc). This class serves students who may prefer foot travel exploration without the burden of backpacks.
This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course. Students can purchase any assigned hardcopy textbooks through our Campus Bookstore.
