Personal Narrative: My Trip To Mohonk Mountain Home

I have been waiting months to go on a trip up to Mohonk Mountain House. I was told about this trip

sometime in August. We left to go to New Paltz on November 9th and returned home on November 12,

2017.

In late August an idea was brought up to go to Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York. The

reason why we were going on this trip was for my girlfriend’s birthday, since she loves the outdoors, this

was a perfect place for us to go to. Fast forward to a week before the trip, all I was doing was imagining

how the weekend will be. We were leavening around 7pm on Thursday so that we would not run into traffic.

All of us had a quick dinner and left immediately after we finished. It would take about 2 hours to get up

there. The first hour was a smooth ride, and the second hour we ran into a lot of traffic and didn’t get there

We had met my girlfriends aunt at the hotel that is a couple towns away from Mohonk.

On Friday we woke up at 8 A.M. to have breakfast and then leave for Mohonk. We got the car packed

and left around 9:30 am, and arrived at Mountain House around 10am. We couldn’t get our room yet so we

went for a short hike. We took the shortest path so that we could be back in time for our buffet lunch. When

we got the the top mountain we explored different paths so that we can hike on them during the week. We

started to head back so that we can be on time for lunch. After we had lunch we went back up the mountain

so we can climb the tower on top of the mountain so that we can get a better view. We had leave to get to a

tomahawk throwing activity that we all had decided to do after we got back from the hike. After we threw a

couple tomahawks my girlfriend, her aunt and I went for a hike to see the sunset on top of another

mountain.

On Saturday my girlfriend, her aunt and I decided to go on a 22 mile bike ride. We started off
