Over Presidents’ Day Weekend, Head Chaplain Rev. Paul Raftery, O.P., led a group of 10 Thomas Aquinas College freshmen on a backpacking trip to Topatopa Peak in the Los Padres National Forest, adjacent to the California campus:

The group encountered high winds, cold temperatures, and — thanks to the high altitude and some much-needed precipitation — snow! Photos from the expedition are available in the above slideshow.
