They spent four days and three nights in a Yellowstone Campground. During the trip they visited all of the natural wonders that compose Yellowstone, and they saw an abundance of wildlife. Mr. Goff, the Milford High School science teacher, planned and supervised the trip. Except for the cooking done by Kaden Leko and Mr. Goff, the trip was a complete success.
