Sabbath Hikes

#OPTOUTSIDE

Art + Design students and faculty at La Sierra University, spend the Sabbath hiking in the Mecca Hills, exploring Ladder Canyon and Painted Canyon.

Going to the Mecca Hills was a whole new experience for me; I was star-struck by the sheer enormity of the slot canyons surrounding me. The entire day I was filled with such wonder and peace, and I can’t wait to adventure through more beautiful places like this in the future.
–Kayla Perkins

“It liberated my mind from the mundane” – Linette Secoff
