Institution:

Juniata College

Subject:

Description:

(Summer; Yearly; 0.00 Credits) This module compares the two sides of the Grand Canyon-the South Rim (an arid ecosystem at 6,300 ft. elevation) and the North Rim (a ponderosa pine dominated habitat at 8,200 ft. elevation). We will examine the plant and animal associations that differentiate both sides of the Canyon. This module involves hiking into the Grand Canyon-while not overly strenuous, does require a certain degree of physical fitness. The trip from the South Rim to the North Rim of the Canyon takes us through arid flatlands of the Colorado Plateau.
