Morning: OPTIONAL field trip to Blair Wallis and Veedauwoo Rocks. We will visit the remarkable granite outcrops of Veedauwoo that attract geologists, hikers, and rock climbers to the area. We will tour the Veedauwoo Glen trail and offer the chance for scrambling on the boulder fields for those who would like to get their nose on the rocks.
