Hiking

Imagine if there was a park somewhere in the United States that had a supervolcano, that is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined (Park Facts), or a bird that can go 200 miles an hour or 320 kilometers an hour (Peregrine Falcon). Well now, stop imagining because you do not have to. You do not have to because Yellowstone National Park has a super volcano that is the strongest one, and is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and has the fastest bird in the world. It is…

Connor Calvert Jeff Burdick English 1AH TTH 10:00am 24 August 2017 The Measure of Darkness Travelling has been a passion of mine ever since I was a child. The best memories of growing up are the many times my parents took my sisters and I on road trips to see the many wonders of the world. This is what got me interested in nature and how the world works. Of the many trips that our family took across the world, the most memorable was only a few short summers ago. In the summer of 2014, our…

Joyce Meyer once said, “We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges”. The message behind this quote is evident throughout the short story “Extraordinary Little Cough”. The group of boys that decide that they are going to go on a camping trip and find themselves going through new experiences the entire time. “Extraordinary Little Cough” shows the journey of a group of friends as the set out on their first journey all alone. Throughout the short story, “Extraordinary…

I have had many experiences working with groups of people in my time as a camp counselor. An emergency situation that I automatically think of is a time last summer when I could not find one of my campers. The camp that I work at has two counselors in a cabin with eight to twelve kids in the cabin. The campers are at our camp for one week, arriving Sunday evening and leaving Friday morning. On Wednesday morning of the third, fourth, and fifth grade camp, we lined up for breakfast after our daily…

Footsteps or trails? Neither. Have you ever walked through a trail for the first time and felt the soft caressing breeze? Have you ever appreciated its surroundings, the soft round pebbles, dust, fallen leaves and branches - some dried and others fresh? Have you ever appreciated the old wrinkled trees bordering it and the ridged ground which marks those who walked down that trail before? Well, I have and still do. Ten years ago, on my way back home after running some errands, I walked through…

The company hike through the forest for quite a few days, yet they feel like they’re getting nowhere. Bilbo climbs into a tree to get a vision of how much ground they’ve covered. The hobbit was unable to get a good view and thinks they aren’t even half-way yet, which isn’t true. They are almost on the edge of the forest. The company is completely out of food when they spot a group of elves having a feast. Despite Gandalf’s warning, they stray from the path. This results in the dwarves being…

In one hike you can get it all: redwood groves, wildflower-filled meadows, rocky outcroppings, cascading creeks and sweeping views. This is Sonoma County at its best, the Pomo Canyon Trail, a 4.5-mile stretch between a wooded campground and Shell Beach. Naturally, unless you bring two cars, enjoying the entire trail would cause you to rack up nine miles. If you start at the Pomo Canyon Campground, you might have to add another mile, as when I hiked it, the campground was closed, and I do not…

Revise edition by:-Melat Negash Taste of Ethiopia Taste of Ethiopia is a cultural event in Denver, Colorado, which is practicing once in a year by Ethio-Americans. This is the third one since it was started, in 2013. Eventually it was taking place the year I Came to America however, unfortunately I didn’t attend the first and the second events, which would be fine for me, to understand the progress they have made by comparing the present with the former occasions. Any ways hear I am to…

Steamboat Springs, a small little town tucked away in the Colorado mountains. This beautiful town got its names from the natural sulfur springs that dot the mountains around Steamboat. Probably the most famous of these springs is Heart Springs, located in Old Town. Heart Springs fuels a water park called Old Town Hot Springs. The spring has been a bathhouse, a laundromat, a swimming hole, and now a water park. One great thing to do in Steamboat is to take a hike to Fish Creek Falls. It is…
