This trip was the first time I’d ever been to a national park. For me, the views were the best part, seeing all the cliffs and rivers and plants during wintertime. I loved going to the Temple of Sinawava to get footage for our story on flash floods and interviewing a park ranger who gave us a great interview about flash floods.

Day 3
With a 5 hour bus ride back to SLC awaiting them and school the next day, the youth reporters from Judge Memorial packed up early for the trip home (after snapping a couple more photos).
Special thanks go to Zion National Park and John Marciano for facilitating this trip, Coach James Cordova and Dave Allen for help with chaperoning and of course Chris Sloan for his continued dedication to teaching these youth journalists!

Day 2
The groups split off early to pursue various shooting locations and subjects for their individual stories.
Some students headed for the Narrows, a scenic slot canyon known for its dangerous conditions during flash floods. Others checked out Weeping Rock and interviewed park visitors and rangers at the Visitor Center or examined ancient petroglyphs along hiking trails for signs of vandalism. Teamwork was key as students took turns protecting cameras from the rain.
NPS Geologist Michael gave students a walking tour of the canyon and explained some of the geological features that make Zion unique, such as the black sheen on canyon walls known as desert varnish, the way Zion’s unique “hanging gardens” form and the fact that much of the water cascading from dozens of waterfalls throughout the canyon has been filtering through rock for thousands of years!

Judge Memorial’s youth reporters made Instagram videos documenting each day of the trip.
