Nature Explorer's Club Finally Makes it to the Labyrinth!

This year I am teaching an afterschool nature exploration class called "Explorer's Club." I am fortunate to work at a school that is steps away from one of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in all of San Francisco. Walking around in the area that surrounds Burke's you would never know that it is a school in one of the most populated cities in the United States. The girls who signed up for the Explorer's Club are those girls who seek adventure in the outdoors. Our goal this semester was to make it to the labyrinth at Land's End. We eventually did it, but it was quite a feat. We almost made it the week before last but didn't have enough time to make it all the way there. We timed ourselves on the hike back and knew that if we left school a little early we could make it to the labyrinth and back by 4:30pm. Everyone was so excited, and then we noticed that our usual trail was closed for restoration! This threw us for a loop, but we figured out a different route. After weeks of hiking around Land's End, writing in field journals, making leaf rubbings, drawing scenery and finding the ultimate walking sticks, we finally made it to...the labyrinth at Land's End! Check out the pictures!
