Students

As you prepare to visit High Trails, get excited to know that over 100,000 students have lived and learned here, just as you will, since 1967.  We've even had students who have grown up, finished school, and come back as teachers.  The High Trails experience has been shared by students from across Colorado, every Fall and Spring, and now it's your turn!

Quotes written by 6th grade students while reflecting at their Special Spots on their first day, Fall 2010...

'There is nothing small in this universe, there’s always something smaller.

There is nothing big in this universe, there’s always something bigger.'

'Nature is like family.  What you do to one effects them all.'

'I am up high, Imagining I can fly.  Seeing nothing but mountains and trees. Feeling the cool breeze go right through me. Seeing nature as it really is.  And believing I can do anything!'

'What would it be like to be a tree?

It would be a life of dangers of the lightning striking you. But, birds would land on your branches and perhaps they would sing.'
