12 students stand on a mountain with owl hands in the air

I’ll end off with Zabriskie Point, a vista that gave us an amazing view of colorful lake beds and ashflows.

With that, I’d love to thank you for following along this week during my takeover! We’ll see you on the next #JohnsonFieldTrip :) -Andy

8 students pretende to be terrified in pothole they climbed into.

four people stand at variosu locations on a volcanic rock bed filled with giant vertical holes.

7 students fit into a pothole in the volcanic rock, one more tries to join.

How many EEPle can fit into one pothole? That’s what we tried to find out at Fossil Falls! After accidentally going off trail, we found the site of a gorge carved through volcanic rocks by the Owens River, all with a grand backdrop of the Sierra Nevada behind us.

Can you guess where we chose this year?
