Hiking

A possible getaway location is Sequoia or Kings Canyon national park in California. For instance, on the National Parks Service website, the text states that “In the spring, the colorful mix of wildflowers along the ridge trail and near Redwood Creek will delight hikers as much as the giant sequoias. In the fall, the dogwood shrubs turn a deep red color, and the fall light provides good photo opportunities.” campers can hike underneath towering trees that can get as tall as 378 feet and these…

Walking in the thick woods of Camp Cornhusker, the sun is seeping through the treetops while walking into what seems like a thousand thorny bushes. When everyone stops for a water break, someone counts to make sure that everyone is all there. “Seven people.” announced Ian, a tall slender guy who always has a bandana wrapped his neck for some odd reason. In a very concerned voice the leader of the group, Zach Cole who works as the aquatics director, quizzically recited the number seven to himself…

Peaks, the region so named because it is home to all of the tallest mountains in the park. The mountains are incredibly beautiful, the views from their tops exceedingly spectacular. They are just waiting to be climbed. Indeed, in the last decade hiking in the High Peaks has doubled, leading to issues with some of the more popular, accessible mountains being over-crowded. Many of the people who climb in the park aspire to be 46ers, a term for someone who has climbed the 46 mountains in the…

memories from growing up that include being out in the great outdoors. There’s something magical about hiking a mountain on a beautiful day, roasting marshmallows by the fire with your friends, or descending deep into a cool and dark cave. These are the experiences that State High’s Outing Club gives to its members. The club plans several trips a year for members to go backpacking, day-hiking, orienteering, rock-climbing, camping, caving, and more. Along the way, members also learn essential…

information that could not be conveyed by just looking at the picture. It had no recognizable landmarks to let the viewer know where I actually was. All a viewer knows is that I was in nature somewhere standing next to a waterfall. I actually was hiking a temperate rainforest near Seattle, Washington. The other piece of information that is vague for the viewer is the weather. Even though it was a clear and sunny day at the moment, typical to Seattle’s weather, a storm was nearby. The temperature…

three had a good night’s sleep, and the next day, they were ready to hike in the Santa Cruz mountains. Brynn was driving, and April and Iris were in the backseat. Jamming along to the music blasting in the car, Brynn drove out to a hiking trail. They put on their hiking shoes and walked up to the trail.…

Greek Theatre. The first entrance, the one I frequently go to, is in the busy intersection of Los Feliz and Riverside. As usual, I listened to my music and walked half a mile to the entrance of the park. What I like about Griffith Park is its shady hiking trails and roads. Since most of its roads and trails are right next to acute slops of the mountain, it provides shade to many joggers and walkers during the summer months. On top of that, the trees provide the much needed breeze when it gets…

Last week me and my family went to Yellowstone National Park for our vacation. We stayed at Yellowstone for 10 days from July 9th to July 19th. At Yellowstone we did all kinds of things like, sightseeing, hiking, rafting and plenty of more things. Here, I will tell you all about the fun things we did in Yellowstone. The first hike we had was in Mammoth Hot Springs and was called Beaver Pond trail. The hike was a 6 mile hike that took us 3 hours. After that we visited the hot springs…

who also keep the parks and camsites up to date by making sure everyone visiting also respect nature while at the same time enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The reason I chose to research campground staff is because I thoroughly enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, and other summertime activities. Camping has always been a big part of my life whether it be with my friends or my family and I found…
