Institution:

Juniata College

Subject:

Description:

(Summer; Yearly; 0.00 Credits) Snow-covered rugged mountain peaks, reaching nearly 13,000 feet in elevation. A break-neck deep gorge with more tight bends and twist than a Quenton Tarantino movie plot. Stone arches immense yet delicate. A labyrinth of colorful mesas and needle-like buttes. The southwest corner of Utah contains a diversity of spectacular scenery that has to be seen to appreciate. During this module we will visit four of the most scenic areas in the southwest and explore the natural forces that formed and sculpted them. Additionally, we will investigate how the governmental agencies that oversee and regulate each area protect and manage these natural wonders. Corequisites: ND260 or ND261 or IC207.
