OP Camp – Hyalite Canyon

The Outdoor Pursuits (or OP) Floors of Roskie Hall traveled to Langohr Camp in Hyalite Canyon on Friday night. Our campsite was within 10 feet of the river, and the stars were absolutely brilliant at night. It totally blew away anything I’ve ever seen in the light pollution riddled East Coast. I’ve always heard that the Milky Way was visible as a thick, milky band of stars stretching across the sky, but I’d never actually seen it that way until last night.

Saturday morning, after recovering from the absolutely frigid (20-25 F) overnight temperatures, we drove up to Hyalite Reservoir and fly-fished for a while. It still amazes me that all these diverse areas are within 20 minutes drive from campus.
