Touch Grass: Snow in the Canyon

The Reed Canyon changes with every season, bringing flowers, rain-soaked paths, and plenty of green through campus. About once a year, something even more magical takes place—a snow day! When it snows, the Canyon transforms into a winter wonderland, with ice encrusting the lake, snow piling on mossy branches, and soft powder muffling sounds along the paths. While this is an amazing light to see the Canyon in, extra safety precautions must be taken, especially if there have been heavy winds or ice recently. The college will send out warning emails when the Canyon is deemed unsafe, so check for those before heading out. Be mindful of fallen or falling branches and ice on paths and the little bridges dotted throughout the Canyon. To learn more, read the first ever edition of Touch Grass on the Canyon. Go out and touch grass in the Reed Canyon!
