As winter quickly approaches, some students are preparing to travel to the Teton Science School in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The students will be leaving Nov. 17 to spend a week in Teton National Park. The students might have to  endure many different temperatures or climates when they visit the mountains, so past travelers gave some advice about what to pack and what not to pack.

2. “One thing I wished I packed was dry shampoo.” — Clare Boderick, ‘20. 
3. “I packed medicine such as Tylenol for the plane and traveling, and it helped a lot.” — Ellie Timmerman, ‘20.

5. “Pack heavy duty snow pants and make sure they are waterproof.” — Bryce Anstoetter, ‘20.
6. “I wish I had packed more hats because mine always got wet from the snow, or I lost them.” — Abigail Klauer, ‘21.
