Ecology Hike

Learn about the mountain ecology of the Upper Arkansas River Valley on a trail hike through the 100 Elk property. Experience first hand the effects of the Mountain Pine Beetle, forest succession, avalanche disturbances, vegetation variations and wildlife presence. Students come away with a greater appreciation of the environment, and a sense of how every cause has an effect.

Orienteering

Students learn how to use a compass and read a topographical map. The group then uses these skills to maneuver through our challenging course.
