Happy Earth Day to everyone out there!  We hope you have a chance to get outdoors, enjoy the spring weather, and revel in God’s glorious creation.  In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to give you a short list of some of JE’s most “outdoorsy” trips.  Enjoy!

 

YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE – 5 DAYS

Yellowstone National Park is widely considered to be the first National Park in the world.  With over 3,000 miles of lakes, canyons, forests, mountain ranges, and wildlife, it’s easy to see why it’s an incredible destination for those looking to get out of doors.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE – 5 DAYS

The joy of visiting Yosemite National Park can best be described by it’s most famous resident, naturalist, and conservationist John Muir.

“Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest! Days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God. Nevermore, however weary, should one faint by the way who gains the blessings of one mountain day; whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever.” My First Summer in the Sierra, 1869

 

GALAPAGOS ISLAND EXPLORATION – 6 DAYS

The Galapagos Islands are one of the world’s most diverse and isolated ecosystems.  They are famous for leading Charles Darwin to contemplate his theory of evolution, but they are also a fantastic place to learn about how God’s design is evident in every facet of creation.

 

MARINE SCIENCE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS – 6 DAYS

Key West is home to as diverse an ecosystem as you will find, and you only have to go underwater to see it.  Incredible snorkeling, crystal clear water, and invaluable hands-on science lessons abound in one of our most popular stateside trips.
