Colorado wilderness leadership trek through photo blog 

Spring break in Cancun? Not for 24 Gettysburg College students who spent 11 days trekking through Colorado's rugged Sawatch Range.

Thanks to a portable solar panel and cellphone service from some mountain peaks, the students shared their adventure via a photo blog that was updated throughout the trip.
