Nathan’s and Jacob’s GC trip!!

We started on a bus ride all the way to the “Kaibab trail”. We hiked all the way to OOH AAH point. At OOH AAH point there is an amazing view of the whole canyon it’s like a whole new world. At first sight you don’t believe what you’re seeing. It’s just a magical view that you only get once in a life time. The trail was ¾ of a mile and it was an amazing view the whole way there. The problem was getting there was half the challenge going back was a whole new thing. It took us twice as long to go back as it did getting there because walking up hill isn’t fun but it was well worth the trip. Then when we got back we went to the gift shop to look around. e hiked all the way to OOH AAH point. At OOH AAH point there is an amazing view of the whole canyon it’s like a whole new world.

As we came back, we stopped at the Mule farm. The mules are for people how don’t want to walk down the trail. But 12 mules have fallen off to there deaths. Also one person has fallen off the trail while riding the mule. Mules are safe but every now a then one makes a mistake. Mules have very good strength and balance; this is why they use them on the trail. They get mules by breeding a horse with a donkey.

The canyon is made up of many rocks such as Limestone, Sandstone, schist, and many others. The three main types of rock are Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. The rocks give the canyon its unique color that changes layer by layer. The end of the day was a good night sleep at the cozy motel. The first day of the trip is now over and we can take our socks off!! :D he canyon is made up of many rocks such as Limestone, Sandstone, schist, and many others.

The next day is the great Colorado Riverrafting ride! (CRRR) the most beautiful sights in the world all start at the Glen Canyon Dam. The Glen Canyon Dam has many living species like the great Blue Heron, the Glen Canyon pike, and of course, the rainbow trout. Glen canyon was once a warm water river before they installed the dam. Then the native fish which where used to the warm water in the river had to move away from the dam. Because the water was now cold they had to add cold water fish, the rainbow trout, there was a problem with the rainbow trout they would eat off the native fish and the rainbow trout began to thrive. Also there have been many Native Americans that lived on the canyon ridge and use the same trails that the big horn sheep used to get to the water. Then as time went on they moved into the canyon and you can still see there hieroglyphics today.



Wupotki was an amazing building aw inspiring and awesome. Its amazing to think that native Americans were capable of such great engineering feats. The building they built was big enough to hold over 100 people and is still standing today. Its was a community on its own that was a central trading hub for other tribes.



Sunset crater was the coolest place to go to with its sunset colors ans magma trails every where it was an amazing thing. Sunset crater was a cinder cone volcano that blew its top off. It was names by major Powell on his expedition through the grand canyon. He names it sunset crater because it looks like the color of the sunset.
