Day 11: Salt Lake City, Utah- Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Teton National Park, Wyoming

After waking up and packing up camp we were back to the old grind and driving to our next destination. On the way out, we drove past the massive mountains in Teton National Park. Some of the clouds decided to open and show us a brilliant glimpse of the massive mountain range. After several hours of driving we were back in Salt Lake City Utah to pick up professor Hossay. With a little extra time to spare we parked the vans and took a walk around the grounds of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. A few of us got to hear the Mormon faith from a few followers and were shown some statues of important people in their religion. Within a few hours we were back in the vans with Hossay telling us about his flight and heading down to Bryce Canyon National Park. Arriving to our camp after dark we all spread out and set up our tents. With the warmer and drier air the evening felt like a whole new experience, from here on out no more wet and cold mornings. After a quick dinner we all turned in for the night because of the early morning and busy day that was about to follow.

Things to Note:

• Once Professor Hossay comes on the trip the amount of notes that you are taking will double. Keep up with them because Tait and Hossay both have their own fields that they are really knowledgeable on. If you combine them you will be getting more out of the class and more information for your paper.
• If you are into anything in the outdoors strike up a conversation with Hossay, he knows a lot about getting back to nature and how to survive.
• When you are in the northwest you have bears to worry about. When in the southwest you have ground squirrel. To keep both animals away from you, your tent, and your bags do not keep anything in your tent that has a smell to it.
