Finally there is snow in the Mountain Park and our 5th grade Earth Studies students, as well as the rangers, are thrilled with the change of weather. The children are so excited when they get to the park and realize that they will get to spend most of the day
out in the snow. And what better way for them to learn about the different types of trees our park is home to than putting on snow boots and hiking out to see the trees decorated with a dusting of snow. The rangers share the excitement with the 5th graders as they lead them through a winter wonderland, stopping to make an occasional snow angel or snowman along the way. The children chiming a chorus of “this is the best Beulah day ever!” and “when do we get to come back?”. Everyone has been enjoying themselves at MPEC these last few days, and we are all eager for more fresh snow in the coming winter months!
