Members of Harvard’s Scout Troop 1 traveled to Nevada on June 19 to begin a two-week journey through six national parks across Utah and Arizona: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, and Grand Canyon. The trip culminated with a three-day round-trip hike between the Grand Canyon’s south rim and the bottom, which included spending two nights under the stars. The trip had been planned for 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Troop 1 members say they are grateful to Scoutmaster Gary Madison for his meticulous planning of the trip.
