Fall Trips Recap: Juniors/Sophomores Monterey

Students on the Monterey trip spent three days and two nights exploring the scenic California coastline. Day One found them traveling to Pigeon Point lighthouse and Ano Nuevo for a short hike and beachcombing. Some of the students took an extended hike along the shore to view the lounging elephant seals; they reported their extra steps had been well worth it. The next day all of the students visited the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium where they enjoyed the sea horse installation and encountered a special guest visitor (cue Jaws' music)--a Great White Shark! That evening the students bonded around a campfire--some even took the opportunity to relax in the comforts of a sauna. Everyone agreed in departing the next day--after a quick stop off at a pumpkin farm--that it had been "one of the best overnight trips ever."
