SUN, SAND, AND SALT FIELDS...TREK CONQUERED SO CAL!
Our trekkers just returned from an unforgettable journey through Southern California! From hiking the stunning trails of Joshua Tree to spotting humpback whales en route to Channel Islands, and dancing in the hot salt fields of Death Valley, our crew studied the science and culture of So Cal, taking in the sun and awesome scenery. Whether it was kayaking in sea caves or exploring the desert, every stop brought new memories and deeper friendships. Stay tuned for our next big adventure and check out our Trek site to learn more about our exciting program.
