 Room 8A Welcome to Our Wiki! Delaney&Amalia!!! Grand Canyon Trip! Whoo hoo!



We walked along the Kaibab trail, where we saw the 10 layers of the canyon. We learned how they were formed and all about the fossils of sea shells and dinosaurs in the rock. It took a long time but we finally reache Ooh Aaa point where we took pictures and enjoyed the view.



We saw the canyon once again, but this time from a better view. We were able to see the different layers in the rock very clearl We took a lot of pictures here because from here the view was absolutely gorgeous. Here we had a lot of fun enjoying the view.



This is the view from the hotel in Page Arizona.It is of Lake Powell and the dam. It took a really long drive to reach Page the night before, and we had to wake up very early which was very hard for many of us. But it was worth it, Page is a very barren but still beautiful place. The dam forms Lake Powell and at its deepest point it reaches 85 feet deep.

We got here very early in the morning, got our life jackets on and loaded on to the boats. It was so cold outside and when we picked up speed the water would spray all over us, we all got so so soaked. We stopped at a beach where we saw petroglyphs and we were amazed to find out that they were 3,000 years old. We had a lot of fun at Glen Canyon and the boat ride was a lot of fun.

We saw all the ruins of the pueblos and walked around and inside the ruins. There were many rooms and we were astonished that they had lasted for 800 years. They were made out of the rock sandstone and were created so that you had to use a ladder to enter all of the rooms. Wupatki was a beautiful place and we enjoyed our time here.



It took a while, but when we finally reached Sunset Crater, it was beautiful. The Crater is a cinder-cone volcano and the volcano is covered in ashes so climbing it was out of the question because they mountain would no be able to handle all of our weight. We visited an ice cave which we were not allowed to go in because of the hazard of it collapsing on us. There was ashes covering the mountain and it made it so much more prettier. We really liked Sunset Crater and had fun.



This is a picture of the San Francisco Peaks from where we were standing at Sunset Crater. This is an enormous volcano and if it erupted we would all blow up and turn into particles. This is a strato volcano which means that it is a very steep volcano and its highest peak is 12,633 feet (3,851 m) high.



Overall this trip was an amazing adventure, we had he most fun we have ever had. We are so so glad we got go on this trip and so greatful.
