My trip to Arizona
In the Spanish language Arizona means silver bearing or little spring place. I can understand why it is called little spring place because it has one of the worlds wonders The Grand Canyon. In fact the nickname for the Arizona is the Grand Canyon State. This is my story to the Grand Canyon State.

My day begins as a usual day but it wasn’t a usual day because later on in that same day I would be getting in the car with a crying sister and my other sister would be saying the whole ride are we there yet for 6 hours. But I still had half of a day of school to go through. That day in school we didn’t do much just play games. After that we went to lunch and my parents picked me and we had left from there.

A few hours in we drove by this huge hill and my dad said that it used to be a volcano but he also said that we couldn’t stop to check out out because we didn’t have time. We had decided that we were going to say Friday to early Monday morning. After that we had a few hours of just crying baby and switching radio stations to find music to listen to. Then all of a sudden we start to come up on a bridge and my dad said that the water underneath it was the Colorado River. He also said that once we pass the bride we will be in Arizona.

As we arrived we saw this cool spot where you stood on a rock and you could see over the canyon. We took a few pictures then we walked around a little bit. After that we went to the next spot but we had to take a bus because no cars were aloud. At that place you had to take a little hike to the edge of the canyon. So we did but it was a small hike. As we arrived there was this older man walking to so we had asked if he would like some help. He said no thanks because he wanted to do it before he dies. He had also asked us to take a photo for him and we said sure. Then we went to the edge and saw this cool little cave. My dad said it might have been used for mining a long time ago. After that we hiked back down and waited a little bit before the bus came to take us to the next spot. We had decided to skip this spot because we were running out of time and it wasn’t that cool. When we had got to the last stop of the day we realized this place is really cool it had a little stone fire place a little building that you could buy food and snacks in and then we noticed this little path way that said path into canyon and that is a path that my dad, some of his friends and I are going hiking on spring break.

    It was 1981. I had just graduated from high school, and another four-year commitment to “education” was the last thing I wanted to do. The problem was that all those other things required money, and thus a job. Unfortunately, at that time the country was in a severe recession, and the only state that seemed immunized to it was Texas. I had to make the decision whether to leave my birthplace, my family, and my friends or to pursue a new life and adventure over a thousand miles away. I chose Texas, and since then I have learned it is sometimes better to move than it is to stay in one place.…

    Did you know that Flagstaff got its name from a random person striping a pole and making it a flagpole? By the time Arizona reached statehood in 1912, the Babbitt brothers had already started to change Flagstaff. The Babbitt brothers along with many other influential people helped give Flagstaff a reason to be created, why it’s used today, and help find some attractions to keep people coming back. Flagstaff is also called the City of Seven Wonders because it is geographically located by the Coconino National Forest, Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Walnut Canyon, Wupatki National Monument, Sunset Crater National Monument, and the San Francisco Peaks.…

    It was going to be a hard day, and it was a big day. Everyone was happy about today. My family and I woke up in the morning feeling great.

    After we ate we started going around to sites where we could take pictures of the city. The big site we were going to was the top of the Mount Lee which is where the Hollywood sign is located. I was very nervous because it was hot outside, but excited that we were going to climb all the way to the top. Before going to the sign though my sister said she had a surprise for us and that we were going to love this next place. After walking for awhile we finally made it to a big cave. I did not recognize it at first but once my sister had told me it was the Adam West batcave I was very eager to take my picture inside. Once we were done taking pictures and walking around we started our hike up to the sign. At first it was not very hard and challenging, but after the first hour I started to become exhausted. When we were about halfway up we stopped and decided to look into the valley. Initially when I looked out I was scared of the height but after a while I started the realize how beautiful the valley is. One thing that made me laugh was that when I looked down I could not tell what anything was except the IKEA. After looking at the view and relaxing we finally started making our way to the top. After two hours we finally made it up to the top, and even though it took so long and my body was in pain it was worth it. The view from the top was incredibly…
