This is a modified itinerary from the original overnight field trip scheduled for this weekend.  Due to weather concerns and student preferences, the expectation is for students to execute their planned day tour.  

Final group assignments and trip location selection will be made during the course.

Each group of students will plan their own tour, so routes, distance, and difficulty will differ. 

To be communicated by email.  Subject to gate opening times.
