Valuable experience

High Mountain Institute challenged me physically and mentally everyday. High Mountain Institute brought me to some insane places like one of the highest peaks in the lower 48, hundreds of feet down in Utah Canyons and frozen over alpine lakes and glaciers in Patagonia national park. I learned some valuable life skills like topographic map reading, living and cooking outside, spending 24 hours with just me my and I self, or living with a small group of my peers for an extended time period.
