Upcoming Travel Program: Centennial Valley and Red Rock Lakes in September
Registration opens July 12 and closes August 11
Nestled on the edge of the Continental Divide, the Centennial Valley's 60+ miles of unpaved roads traverse a vast array of forest, sagebrush steppe, grasslands, and the largest wetland complex in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It is also the uppermost point of the Missouri/Mississippi watershed, 3,768 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.
This trip is designed for those who want a robust overview of the Centennial Valley's important natural and cultural features. Participants will learn about and meet people who live in and manage this area, including cattle ranchers, the Centennial Valley Association's Range Riders, and managers of non-profit organizations such as the Montana Nature Conservancy and the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
Trip programs will range from lectures with interactive discussions to experiential outdoor learning. Members of OLLI at MSU and the MSU Retiree Association are welcome to register.
The trip departs on September 12 and returns on September 14. Click or tap here for more information. Registration opens on July 12.
