The Grand Canyon is over 2 million years old.

At the South Rim of the Grand Canyon,we had to hike a mile into the Grand Canyon to the South Rim and a mile back to the top. One the hike I learned that the Grand Canyon is made of limestone which means that the Grand Canyon must have been full of water at one point in time.The trail was wavy on the first part and kind of strait and down hill the rest of the way. The trail was just a bit steep and there were a lot of rocks. I kept tripping on the rocks. It was really scary epically since I am scared of heights. The hike was fun, it was weird how were you were standing was 2 million years old and that it used to be an ocean before it turned into a national state park.



After we finished our hike at the Grand Canyon we ate dinner in a cafeteria. It started to snow while we were there. While we were inside everyone had bought ice cream. When we all saw the snow and we all went outside. I thought it was just ironic how we were all eating ice cream in the snow.

It took about 6 years to build the dam. The river is about 60ft deep, and about 600 ft wide. We took a smooth river trip for about 15 miles down the Colorado River. If you kept going on the river you would eventually hit the Grand Canyon. The canyon was made when the water from the dam went through and eroded all of the sandstone. The river was very cold, and the water was frezzing. Taking the boat ride was fun, I thought it was the best part of the trip.

This is the Wupatki ruins. It was very interesting there. We walked into the home and the doors were really small that you had to crawl through them. There was a room that the Wapatki's used for arguments. The room was very small and tiny so that people could only sit inside the room. The tribe thought that if they had no room to move around in there would be less anger between the people. The rocks that the building was made of was sandstone. The stone would fall off very easily piece by piece. I thought the building was very cool. I thought it was cool how the door were so small. It was fun to crawl through them.
