Texas Canyons Canoeing
March 10-20, 2022
If you seek a real adventure, the remote river canyons of southwest Texas are for you. Participants will cover 83 miles in the tight canyons forged by the iconic Rio Grande River and explore side canyons or remains of abandoned villages.
The trip group will spend multiple days on the river with no resupplies or stops at restaurants. Given the remoteness and challenging rapids of this adventure, participants must be in good physical condition and have a positive state of mind.
Cost is $495 for UNL students ($165 deposit required to secure a spot.)

Escalante Backpacking
March 11-20, 2022
Located in south-central Utah’s high desert, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument boasts some of the most beautiful geological features and canyons of the southwest United States.
Participants will explore canyons and learn about the area’s native cultures while backpacking the park. The group will also day-hike through other regional parks offering amazing views of arches and canyons and other geological formations.
This is a strenuous trip. Participants will need to supply their own sturdy hiking boots and rain gear.
Cost is $495 for UNL students ($165 deposit required to secure a spot.)

Wichita Mountain Rock Climbing
March 11-15, 2022
Trip participants will explore the surprisingly quality rock in south-central Oklahoma, take in the spectacular views above the Colorado-esque “Narrows” and Mount Scott and ‘crag’ some pristine granite domes and cliffs.
This trip is for climbers of all levels, from beginners to very experienced. The group will climb together during daylight hours and enjoy beautiful spring evenings camping on site.
Cost is $275 for UNL students ($92 deposit required to secure a spot.)
