Why should you join my trek?
Join us as we visit two of the best national parks in the US – Zion and Bryce are absolutely stunning and there’s no better way to know your fellow classmates than on the trails and under the Utah night sky. Then go to Vegas to enjoy all that it has to offer with the same folks. Look forward to getting to know you and having a great group together to kickoff the MBA experience.

Why should you join my trek?
This is the perfect combination of physical exertion and the reward of Vegas at the end. Utah is crazy beautiful and Vegas is… well, Vegas. If you are looking for two unique trips in one that are not going to require you to take out a second mortgage, this is the trip for you.

Why should you join my trek?
The last couple days of this trip are going to be a business study on the effectiveness of Las Vegas establishments on separating people from their money and I will be in the notes as Fool #1. Nothing like having academic study credit already in the books when you show up for class right? (Disclaimer: no credits will actually be had)

More seriously, nothing like a couple good hike days wrapped up with a pool party in Vegas so come begin your MBA experience with us.
