Room+13A

Room 13A(Justin Harmon) My first sight of the Grand Canyon on the trip was a huge view of the canyon and its vastness. The canyon has different types of sediment layering the canyon all the way to the top. The animal and plant life in the Grand Canyon also changes the further you go down. Through out the canyon you can find fossils of prehistoric animals like fish and plants from the movement of the tetonic plates. The further you go down the older the rocks and sediment become. The canyon has been expanding from thousands of years of erosion. My first view of the Grand Canyon.

Me at Ooh Aah Point!!!

 This ancient indian hut is about 900 years old. It was supposably occupied by the Apache or Navajo. It has a window facing toward where the sun rises and another window at where the sun sets. It is thought that they observed the stars. Still not much is known about this place and the tribes that occupied it.

Here is the 900 year old hut made of rocks found around the location and dried mud and clay. The Colorado river is what has been slowly carving the Grand Canyon for years. It was very cold at the bottom of the canyon by the water. It has many rapids and it is very dangerous at some places. Trout swim through this river. John Wesly Powell traveled down this dangerous river and discovered the Grand Canyon and almost lost his life. It is a beautiful place.

**__Sunset Crater__** The name is very misleading because it isn't really a crater. It is a volcano. It is a composite cinder-cone volcano which grew very quickly. When it erupted, it sent ash and volcanic rocks everywhere. Now a large area around it is covered in ash and volcanic rocks. The ash cloud was so big it could be seen from miles away. I thought it was pretty cool, too.
