On this excursion Dr. Dubrasky will lead attendees on a short hike viewing the wondrous sights of Kolob Canyon. While in the Canyon attendees will have the opportunity to create poetry and reflect on the views of nature around them. Dinner not included.

Zion National Park is one of the Wonders of Southern Utah located just north of Springdale, the cutest town in Washington County. This excursion will be a minimally guided experience of Zion and Springdale. For the more adventurous hiker, a group guide will lead hikers to the top of Angel’s Landing (limit of 20, 10 to the top). Participants will have the opportunity to hike trails they are comfortable with. If you are interested in just a day of galleries, shopping and food, experience Southern Utah culture, art, food, and shops of Springdale, the city at the mouth of Zion. Participants will be free to explore on their own the many opportunities offered by Zion National Park and Springdale. Dinner is on your own.
