Gates of the Arctic averages well under 5,000 visitors annually. Isle Royale has very few visitors, averaging around 20,000 people a year, but it is not the least visited park in the nation.

I was one of the students on the trip and I would like to see more universities offering this type of educational opportunity. Ideas about nature become more concrete when you are right there in the woods versus in an artificially lit classroom. I would recommend this class to other MSU students. Although I am grateful that others will be able to learn of our experience, I am disappointed in the Jackson comments. Our trip was about more than dealing with disconnection from pop culture and the news and I don't think any of us were too distraught by MJ's death. Also, enough is enough already, his death has been over exploited and the media needs to move on.
