In May 2003, a group of students from Bowling Green State University embarked for Yellowstone National Park. The group was under the direction of Craig Wittig, an instructor in the Center for Environmental Programs at BGSU. During the course of the trip, the group had the opportunity to perform environmental service at the Murie Center, as well as observe analyitically the natural beauty of the region. While the primary focus of the trip was Yellowstone, the group also visited Grand Teton National Park. This site serves as an online journal of student's experiences and observations on the splendor of the American West.
