The ISU Geology Alumni Reunion is coming up quickly, and we’re excited to see each of you soon in Shell, WY!
Below is the schedule of events to help you and your party better plan your travel to Wyoming. Please be aware that the horseback rides through White Creek Canyon on June 29 have been canceled. The other day activities, including the boat tour of Bighorn Canyon, are still on, though. Please remember to bring $42 per adult or $27 per child if your party has signed up for the boat tour.
Although lodging and food at the field station will be free during the reunion, the department would appreciate any donations that can offset the cost of the event. Tent camping typically costs $15 per tent per night, campers/small RVs $30 per night, and dorm rooms $70 per night. Food expenses are expected to be $30 per person per day.
