Phoenix crossing paths on the Appalachian Trail

How is it that on a trail that is more than 2,000 miles long, UW-Green Bay alumni and students managed to connect at just the right time and location. Alumni Jenna Walton ’07 (Biology) and Nick Walton ’07 ’16 (Biology and Environmental Science and M.S. in Environmental Science & Policy) (pictured bottom left) have just begun their journey across the entire Appalachian Trail. They hope to walk the entire trail over the next year or so. On their journey they crossed paths with UW-Green Bay’s UREC Outdoor adventurers — a group of students walking the trail over spring break.
