Above
all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk
myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every
illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and
I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk
away from it.
- Soren Kierkegaard |

SCC
Walking Trail
Welcome
Welcome to SCC’s newly expanded
walking trail!
Encompassing our existing nature
trail with newly added wooded
sections linked up with more urban
sidewalks, we have created a scenic
1.87 mile loop around campus for
you to get out and enjoy. There
are four trailheads at which to
start, each with an informational
kiosk and trail maps for you to
use. These are located at the
north corner of the Balsam Center,
above the Library, at the water
tower and on the road to the maintenance
yard. Take a moment to orient
yourself on the trail
map and to read the rules
of the trail. Feel free to bring
friends and family to enjoy all
or part of our scenic mountain
campus.

| There are many inherent
risks to walking outside. The trail,
by its very nature, is rugged. It
includes steep sections and uneven
surfaces that, at times, may be
slippery. Use caution, some plants
on the trail may be poisonous and
may contain thorns or other hazards.
Understand that parts of the trail
are remote and that you are responsible
for yourself and your own safety.
You are advised to carry water and
dress appropriately for diverse
weather conditions. In the event
of lightning or other severe weather,
proceed to the nearest shelter or
your vehicle.
Before beginning any new physical
activity, you should contact a
physician for advice as to your
limitations. Start out slow and
slowly increase your mileage in
accordance to your physical condition.
Remember it’s not the quantity
of miles you do, it’s the
fact you are getting outside and
being active at any level that
is encouraged and appreciated. |
Some misc. facts; |
