After field camp ended, we had the option of taking the vans and going on a trip. One van went directly back to Columbus, while three spent a few days exploring and hiking Grand Tetons National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Badlands National park, and Mount Rushmore National Monument.
We had a great time and appreciate the OSU Earth Science department for allowing us to do this. It was a great way to celebrate our accomplishment of finishing field camp. We had the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful national parks and see some incredible geology.
Here are some photos from the trip!
