Spring Trip

Taking trips into the outdoors is a strong tradition at CRMS dating back to the early days of the school. For students and faculty alike, witnessing the beauty of magical places across the Western United States and enjoying the personal and community benefits of living simply and traveling in small groups help to make participating in CRMS’s trips one of the most favored practices of the school community. Students and faculty spent seven days in late April hiking, biking, climbing, or river running throughout Colorado and Utah.
