MEA’s Outdoor Playground After a hard day of classes and tests, I need a place to unwind and release my stress. I find meditating in the wilderness surrounding Mount Ellis Academy the fastest way to blow off stress. Out there you can push your body to extremes and clear your mind. One particular Sabbath, after a week of stress and other problems, I climbed a nearby peak. The beauty surrounding its high alpine slopes was intense. It was totally righteous. I now saw the world from another view. The snow, the trees, the whole world seemed to change. This is my first and senior year at Mount Ellis. I chose to come here from Idaho Falls, Idaho, because of the area and activities that surround the school, many of which I enjoyed back home. This next fall I plan on studying engineering at Walla Walla College. Here in Bozeman you are not limited to particular types of activities. Whether you like shooting the chutes on skies, a board, or a bike, or are searching for more endurance while trail running or jamming the crags, there is plenty for you to do here. It all starts at your back door and extends beyond the Bridgers, the Beartooths, and the Spanish Peaks. Go ahead, come here and release the stress you have. Enjoy school and an awesome outdoor playground.
