The Annual Salmon 5k

Although Black Bears are the most common type of bear on campus, Brown bears also reside here. The annual mating ritual of Pacific Salmon, called spawning, draws brown bears out of their dwellings to feast on these tasty morsels.

What? You don't think there are raging rapids hidden within the quiet and serene Trinity campus? YOU'D BE WRONG. See:

Right below the Coates Esplanade and by Murchison lies a winding little river and waterfall. 

In just a few short weeks (mid october) this raging river will be filled with salmon swimming up-stream. If you want to see some hungry brown bears hunting down their dinner, park your tush right by the waterfall and catch some action:

Until then this little hideaway is perfect for doing late afternoon homework.

I hear if you sing this song it actually draws out the bears before the annual Salmon Run...
