Seeing ponies makes chilly days a little bit warmer. Another lovely trip to Grayson Highlands.

Looking to backpack? We will be hosting two free backcountry basic clinics along with two more backpacking trips in the Spring Semester.

Nothing like feeling the wind in your hair while flying down a mountain 🚲⛰️

Lots of effort has been made by our residential bike pro Dom Del Grosso to not only revitalize our biking trips but also in teaching fellow staff. His efforts have made a huge impact on our program!

Although this was our last bike trip of the semseter, look out for our learn to ride clinics, beginner and intermediate mountain biking, and gravel biking trips.

If you ever want to ride around campus, stop by our office in the SRWC and we'll set you up!
