I just came off a five day backpacking trip with students from the sophomore class at Dunn. We hiked a 25 mile loop through some beautiful terrain, all in our back yard. A great time was had with some great people. Below are some of the sights that we came upon.

Day 2: Hiking by some of the beautiful wildflowers we encountered along our way.
Once we gained the ridge near Hurricane Deck we had some impressive views.

Day 4: Zach with the remains of a snake found along the trail.
The entire sophomore class gathered at Nira Camp for a debrief and burrito blowout.
Day 5: Team Hashtag after coming together over an eventful few days. The trip was all too brief and our special group dynamic will be missed.
