Friday April 4th to Monday April 7th, 2025

We would like to invite you all to go to Moab, Utah on Friday morning April 4th through Monday April 7th, 2025 and enjoy the backcountry of the beautiful red rock country of Utah.  The practical skills session will be on Saturday. in Rotary Park and will start at 10 am.  Sunday morning we will have a geology lecture and hike, but it will be optional. It will begin at out campground. The rest of the time is your so explore and have fun.

Travel to Moab. If you are from out of town, we will help you find a ride with people in the class who have space in their car, so you will not have to reserve one. The School of Medicine will not, however, pay for travel expenses. You will need to ‘cost share’ those. In the past, we have always been able to get people in to a ‘car pool.’

We have reserved Goose Island A and B campground for you on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. You check out on Monday.   It is only 1 mile up river from Hwy 191.  It will take about 10 minutes to get there from downtown Moab. It can accommodate everyone in the course.  It is near Grandstaff Canyon.  There are toilets there and water.. It is an improved campground with shade covering.  It will be warm weather but cool at nights. 

Practical skills will be on Saturday in Rotary Park and will begin at 10 am. This is required. It will end around 5 pm. We will have dinner that night at the campfground. We will provide that.

Note:  Please take as few cars as possible.  There is room for people but not for everyone's cars.  Also try to be quiet.  You will be responsible for your own cost of getting there.

We will provide dinner on Saturday night April 5th.
