opportunities for field study and outdoor recreation. In addition to access to the Basin and Range, Lake Tahoe and the crest of the Sierra Nevada are a ~35 minute drive from campus, Lassen Volcanic National Park and the southern terminus of the Cascades are
a ~2 hour drive, Yosemite is a 3 hour drive, and the Pacific Ocean and California Coast Range can be reached in ~4 hours. Reno has a metro-area population of ~450,000 and is seeing a large influx of young professionals along with growth in cafes, eateries,
bike paths, and additional amenities that make for pleasant city life. The Reno-Tahoe Airport is ~10 minutes from campus and has non-stop flights to most major cities Chicago and west.</span></p>
