 * Grand Canyon**

The description of the hike on South Kaibab Trail was that it was pretty long, and it was really cold when we were under the shade, and it was pretty tireying for some people. We hiked like 2 miles, but we didnt get to the bottom because it ewas too long and it wouldve taken us all day, but when we did get to our stopping point, the view was even pbetter because it wass closer and it was a perfect place to take pictures. Some historical facts are that they made the south Kaibab trail with just dynamite. our guide told us that about 200 people get rescued from the grand canyon, it is really dangerous, lots of people die. There is even a sign that says, Do not attempt to hike the grand canyon down and all the way up in one day. For enviormental facts, there are a lot of squirels and ravens, theres probably thousands of animals living there but thats all we saw. Our guide told us that people go down the canyon on lamas, but we didnt see any lamas. My thoughts on the South Kaibab Trail where that it was a good expirience, and a pretty good excersise. it was very cool down there, really fun to hike with friends, it was very interesting too, and you should go to the beathroom before going down because it is a really long way and you will be drinking a lot of water.

River Trip on Colorado River

The water where it was deep at the river was green, and it was sometimes very calm. A historical fact is that Powell had his expedition there. for enviorment, Isaw a lot of little tiny birds flying around everywere in packs of birds. That was the only animal i saw. There were a lot of trees, and they were VERY green. The rock walls structure was really cool. I thought the river trip at the Colorado River was a really cool expirience, and a really cold one too.

 * The description on the river trip at the Colorado River was that it was really cold, IT WAS FREEZING! There was a lot of wind. It was a really awsome expirience though, the walls of the canyon were really high and huge! To get down to the colorado river we had to go on a 2 mile bus ride through this completely dark tunnel. Its perfect to blind people with your camera flash. [=

Me and Cullen!!......Nolan, Chad, Molly and cassie!! Colorado River.

Haha Mr. Creighton having a fun time [=**

Wupatki National Monument


 * The descriptuion of the Wupatki National monument is thaat, it is a house built out of rock and mud, and it was also kind of pink. There is stairs to go up the house and then a tiny entrance wich you have to pretty much, crawl to get in. there is no roof in thw whole house. It is a reallycool place and perfect for photos. What i did at the place was explore it and take a lot of pictures and when our guide took us around the place, he showed us really cool arrows heads that were hundreds of years old, we werent supised to take them but people took them out of the ground anyway. After that we took a big group photo. Some geological facts are that the walls are made out of rocks and mud, it was a good combination because it is still standing to this day!! Historical facts are that, that place is about hundred years old and people built the house and lived in it. Enviormental facts are that it is a very dry place and its in a desert. Lots of people come and see the momument. My thoughts on the Wupatki monument were that it is a really cool place to go to anda really awesome expirience. it was really hot though.

Wupatki National monument!! Group photo!! we took like 30 photos with different cameras... it was anoying [=**

Sunset Crater


 * Sunset crater is actually not a crater, it is a volcano! The whole path and all the rocks were black. some little places there, and the rocks seemed charp and dangerous! If you fell and landed on one of those rocks... it would CUT you. The place had a few trees, not so many though. We walked through a a path in groups aroudn the crater. There are little information signs about the crater. All the black rock that where was once lava or magma. All the sand on the floor that looked like black sand was actually ashes from the volcano. I didnt see any animals over there. My thoughts on the Sunset Crater were that it wasnt that really fun... walking through a path, looking at black mountains, black rocks, and black dirt is not very interesting to me, but it was still a good expirience.
