Some instructors bring t heir outdoors clubs , and related groups just to have a good time.
Some instructors, mainly college professors, send their students on their own , with instructions to write, for credit, a synopsis of their educational ride. Each spring, up until about the third week in May, our educational rides are conducted on Juniper Mountain, just north of the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. Depending on the desires of the instructors, the different biological rides can be conducted to emphasize plant and animal identification, even Latin names. These guided rides can also be conducted to emphasize the fascinating ecology of the local plants and animals in the surrounding environment.
