It was just a normal week in June at Rocky Mountain National Park. My family and I have been coming since I was born. It is always so beautiful to see the snow on the mountains and to think that this park was only established 101 years ago. They just celebrated their 100 year anniversary last year in 2015. Being in Colorado makes me feel at home because I usually go there once a year for multiple weeks. This year, I went there in the summer for a lacrosse tournament. In the summer it is just so awesome to be there. There are so many wonderful activities such as white water rafting, hiking, climbing, and bike riding. This year was my first year going white water rafting it was breathtaking because of how many gorgeous sights there were. Even though the water was a little cold it was totally worth it.

On the last day we decided to go golfing because it was amazing weather and looked to be like a lot of fun. I think this was one of my favorite activities just because of how awesome the views were, we were literally playing golf in mountains. It was also cool because we saw a ton of animals on the golf course. When we first got to the golf course we were actually told that there was a brown bear on the ninth hole green. Sadly we were not able to see the bear, but we got to see it on the surveillance camera. I feel like when I am in Colorado I am very free. I feel like I am able to do anything because there is so much to do there. When I am on the mountain skiing it's the best time of my life. I am with my family and having a ton of fun doing things that I love. When I ski I like to do crazy things like going backwards off jumps, doing flips, and just going super fast down runs. I also love skiing the runs that go through the forest because you see animals sometimes and it's just awesome to sit down and to think that God created all of these beautiful things and how amazing and how loving He
My family and I were all headed down to a Mt Shasta campsite. We always went there in the summer with a close family friend.
The Grand Canyon, it’s truly is grand. The animals, the plant life, and the canyon’s history is something my father and I have been interested in for a long time. My dad, Erik, shows me plant specimens and fossils of animals i’ve never seen before. He once told me there was a type of vulture that are so close to extinction there are only 20 left alive in the world. We visited Arizona to see the Grand Canyon once dad got enough money to go on a roadtrip. I’m so excited to see my friends there, too. I brought so much snacks, maybe too much, and my backpack is kind of heavy for the hiking trip, but I’ll live through it.
Every single summer, the last two weeks of August; my family and I would go camping at Killbear Provincial Park. First time I went, I was 10 month old. I couldn’t talk yet and was just learning to crawl, but that didn’t stop my family from ending the tradition. I pretty much grew up there, all my favorite nature experiences are from camping there.
During our stay, we fully immersed ourselves in all the nature Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Lakes had to offer, and I loved every bit of it. The beauty of these two places was breathtaking. Different landscapes and scenery compared to Hawaii but equally as beautiful. From the whispery multi-colored sunsets over the mountains in Mammoth Lakes; which somehow reminded me of the northern lights and how I would love to see that some day, to the beauty of the remaining snow that capped the tallest mountains, to the amazing and gigantic sequoia trees, the crystal clear picturesque Tenaya Lake, the natural columnar basalts known as Devils Postpile, and the many beautiful cascading waterfalls, just to name a few. It was an experience I’ll never forget but more than anything else, it was how I felt while witnessing all this natural beauty that left a lasting impression.
November 3, 2016- I finally came to the Yosemite National Park. When I saw that place man it blew my eyes, it was like a dream that was happening. For the most part, there were plenty of activities to do. The first activity I decided to do was hiking.
The breeze that whipped through my hair and the view of the mountains made me feel free. The next time where I have the opportunity to zip-line, there will be no doubts if I want to do it. After zip-lining, we went to visit the Mount Rushmore. It was so awesome to experience it in real life rather than seeing pictures of it online and in movies.
Before relaxing at Copper Mountain, you had to get to Copper Mountain. For my family, we took an eight hour car ride, which we had to wake up early for to begin. We would leave by 5:00 in the morning. I wouldn’t say the car rides
When the weather is nice outside I would rather be there. The outdoors is like freedom to me. I can go outside and get away from everybody and everything. Outside
When we took our vacation to Minnesota, we spent most of our time out on the water. Part of the reason for this is the amount of fishing that gets done up there, but another is the water skiing that goes on daily. I am a part of the group that water-skis throughout the day. Although, instead of waterskiing, I will wakeboard. This is basically snowboarding, except you are getting pulled behind a boat while holding onto a regular ski rope, or a
One of the most enjoyable things in life are road trips, particularly to the Colorado mountains. Getting to spend time with your family and friends, while being in a beautiful place, is irreplaceable. The fifteen-hour road trip may feel never-ending, but gazing at the mountains from afar makes life’s problems seem a little smaller and causes worries to become a thing of the past. Coming in contact with nature, untouched, is a surreal experience. My family trip to the Colorado mountains last summer was inspiring.
