Jake Frasier - The Noland Trail Experience

Recently I walked the Noland Trail with some friends picking up trash as we went. The Noland Trail yields a unique experience for whoever walks it. It possesses natural beauty that is truly inspirational. A few of my friends walked quickly on the paths but I kept a low pace in order to observe my surroundings. It was amazing in the fact that every part of the trail played into my experience. Everything from the trees, insects, wind and water made that moment special. As I walked, a friend and I stopped to observe the lake and to take everything in. We stood there for some time, looking out at the world before us, and it was awe inspiring. It is interesting to think that even in such urban areas, there are still special natural areas like the Noland Trail in which people can experience everything nature has to offer.
