Show Notes Chapter Markers

Our town, Flagstaff, sits at 7,000 feet and is located in the largest contiguous Ponderosa pine forest in North America. Right here on campus you can soar across the tree tops at NAU’s Challenge Course. Adventure doesn’t stop there either. We’re also within a 2 hour drive of 14 different National parks and monuments. If you’re into winter sports— we’re one of the closest universities to a ski resort.

How do we take advantage of our surroundings? In this episode we explore some of the ways our Lumberjacks take it out outside through majors like Forestry, trips put on by Outdoor Adventures, and classes like Wilderness Within taught by Professor John Lynch.
