Sarah Ritter Noland Trail


Although I unfortunately was not able to make it to the class that was held on the Noland trail due to underestimating the time I took to walk there which caused me to be late and was unable to find the class, I still had an enjoyable experience wandering on the trail looking for the class and it gave me time quietly reflect on my surroundings and on myself.  I have not been on the Noland trail very many times before but every time I do walk on it I feel so grateful that as a CNU student I have such a beautiful and sizable piece of nature that I can enjoy that is so close to school.  Walking distance the trail is only a short walk from campus and the trail itself is a five mile loop that goes through many acres of forest that contain all kinds of native wildlife.  Many times when my life is in turmoil and I’m stress out or upset by something, this trail has been a source of comfort and by walking in the peace and calm of the forest it helps to calm me down and soothe my mind and emotions.
