{Greencastle, IN senior session}

Meet Caiden, a spirited senior from the Class of 2025 who’s always up for an adventure. On a crisp spring day that seemed to be tailor-made for exploring, we set out to conquer the trails at Fern Cliff Nature Preserve. The sun was shining, birds were serenading us with their morning songs, and the fresh scent of rainfall lingered in the air—everything you could ask for on a perfect hiking day.

As we meandered through the lush greenery, Caiden shared stories about his high school journey and his plans for after graduation. It’s clear he’s got a bright future ahead! Whether he was pointing out unique plants or leading us to hidden spots with breathtaking views, Caiden’s enthusiasm was infectious.

The hike wasn’t just about reaching our destination; it was about soaking in every moment along the way. With each step, we discovered more about nature—and the scenery ahead. By the time we reached our final stop at one of Fern Cliff’s stunning overlooks, it felt like we’d not only conquered a trail (albeit short) but also forged memories that would last well beyond senior year.
