The great outDoors Students find sanctuary in spending time doing their favorite outdoor activity and exploring California’s natural wonders

rom the crowded cities to the mellow mountains, California is known as a land of opportunity. Surrounded by many diverse regions and climates, this large state has been exploited for resources as far back as its admission to the union. Today, California is known for its bright city lights and a hub of fame and fortune. It has become easy to turn a blind eye to the awe of the natural land as we often get caught up in the chaos of our day-to-day lives. Many Paly students who enjoy the outdoors recognize the benefits that spending time in nature has on their mental and physical health and how they in turn view the world around them.
