This spring break WSU’s Outdoor Recreation Center will be leading a pair of week-long excursions. These adventures will take place in California’s Yosemite Valley and Arizona’s Glen Canyon. Participants will get to kayak through the scenic Glen Canyon, one of the country’s premier flat water kayaking locations. On the Yosemite trip, hikers will be able to witness and explore the beautiful valley that is the crown jewel of Yosemite National Park. If these trips sound like an amazing adventure to you make sure you sign up early! This year’s excursions are filled but the ORC holds many trips like this throughout the year.
