A group of 17 King University students, faculty members and alumni, recently went on a trip to study the biodiversity of the American Southwest. Specifically, they focused on how plants and animals thrive in areas with limited resources such as food and water. The group visited several parks, including Snow Canyon State Park, Zion National Park, Red Cliffs Recreation Area, Yant Flat Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park, Buckskin Gulch in the Grand Staircase Escalante area, and Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. During their visit to Red Canyon in Dixie National Forest, Utah, the group unexpectedly encountered Douglas Reuter, the creator of the famous board game Sequence.4wBEjwGmABbGcs3RjkZxME
