While sleeping under the stars, hiking alpine ridges, and engaging in daily class discussions, students will study the regional effects of climate change and meet people working to address climate and environmental justice. This course is perfect for adventurous students who are eager to learn outside, and who are committed to building a world where human and ecological communities can thrive together. Students in the course will be away from campus for seven days and six nights, camping with a small group of instructors and other students, and backpacking for four-days in one of Montana's iconic wilderness areas. During this expedition, students will be away from technology and cell phones. While no prior backpacking or camping experience is required, students must be able to hike 10 miles with a heavy backpack (50-pounds)
