Where in the world could a NOLS course take you? In addition to our classic 13 bases around the globe, we've added NOLS Northeast to our offerings this year, and the fall of 2011 will likely mark NOLS' return to Africa. Front cover: Student Lydia Ode backpacks through the iconic tussock grasses of New Zealand's South Island. Big Hill Range; Photo by Fredrik Norrsell Back cover: Students traverse a ridge toward their lofty goal: Mt. Baker's summit. North Cascades, Washington; Photo by Madhu Chikkaraju © Copyright NOLS, August 2010 • Printed in Portland, Oregon, on Forest Stewardship Council certified recycled paper with soy-based ink.
