On my wonderful trip, I visited the Grand Canyon, vegas, ate great food and spent the whole time with my family! I started my trip in Vegas, an amazing city littered with bright lights. Then I visited The Grand Canyon it was mesmerizing and took my breath away. The food was amazing all throughout the trip, I had my favorite foods every day. There were many long trips in the car and on planes. I spent the whole trip with my family and I met some really kind people. Seeing the Grand Canyon really complexes me, especially after I was told it was slowly formed over millions of years. I would come back to Vegas or The Grand Canyon again anytime. It started during summer break it was July, 10, I was driving to the airport! I have been waiting …show more content…
There were even slot machines in the terminal. After getting our bags, we left the airport. It was so hot. It felt like a huge hair dryer was blowing on us. It was 117 degrees outside that is a record for Vegas. We got into a shuttle bus to get to our rental car which was an SUV so we could fit all of our luggage. The traffic was terrible, it took ten minutes to travel less than a mile. When we got our car we started heading to our hotel. The scenery was insane all the hotels were massive and all light up in the night. One hotel was shaped like a pyramid and others were huge and looked magical! We entered The Venetian hotel, that's where we are staying in Vegas. The hotel is modeled to look Italian and it had a water canal running through it. It took awhile to find our room in the monstrous hotel. I hated staying in the rooms (even though they were so nice) because my brother was so annoying! He would always get me yelled at. I would be doing nothing by myself and he would try to annoy me. He would do this by poking me, flipping the lights or unplugging my …show more content…
I wish I could live here in Arizona. The land is beautiful and the people are nice too. On a side note, I am glad my little brother didn't get in the way of my great trip. I am planning on coming back to both The Grand Canyon and Vegas in the future. I recommend you visit The Grand Canyon and Vegas too, it is a really fun and interesting trip! This trip changed my life, it showed me what life can be like and that in places far from home there is really “Grand” things! I hope my wonderful experience inspires you to visit the same places I
Zig-zag, back and forth, down, down, down, Jonathon, Dad, and I went into a mysterious new world. Now that I have gone into this hot, dry canyon surrounded by monstrous hoodoos, I have seen what it is really like to leave the small town of Seymour, and emerge into the greatness of this world. I have now seen several other National Parks on one of the most renowned places on earth for mysterious creations, the Colorado Plateau. Of all the beautiful places on it, even the Grand Canyon, I have found my favorite one. Bryce Canyon National Park. I thought it was amazing, because it was the most diverse to anything I have ever seen before. We hiked down into it and I felt like I was surrounded by skyscrapers. We trekked around a little, but we didn’t
The Grand Canyon is one of the most amazing natural wonders in the world. It was originally deposited sediment that was lithofied, and turned into sedimentary rock. The rock was then carved out by hydraulic processes (Warneke). These processes, all combined, took almost three to six million years to form the Grand Canyon. Continued erosion by wind and rain in the present time continues to shift what the canyon looks like, and make it different as time goes on ("Grand Canyon Facts").
John Wesley Powell was one of the foremost explorers in American history, and his first descent down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is one of America’s greatest adventure stories. Although he is not as well known as other explorers, his travels and his contributions to American history are significant because they represent a spirit of discovery motivated not by self-glory or the acquisition of gold or land, but by a curiosity about and appreciation for both the natural world and the native peoples of the West.
I arrived in Las Vegas October, 2009, a long time ago, but I’m sure the energy of the city has not changed. Most people find themselves entering Vegas through the McCarran International Airport that has digital slot machines posted everywhere from the moment you depart the plane. That is one unique thing you will notice about Vegas; the thousands of digital slot machines playing poker, blackjack, and keno in McDonald’s, gas stations, and laundromats. It is normal out there. However, I digress. Most people typically find themselves swooping down on Vegas on domestic budget carriers such as Southwest and Spirit, simply because they offer extremely cheap prices from all
The trip began when I took a small green pencil and signed by name on the release forms needed to hike in Yosemite National Park. I and nine of my friends left the ranger station that night with a neatly folded map and a felling of excitement to what lay ahead. The long drive to the park left us tired and in need of a good night’s sleep. We decided to stay in tent city like most hikers do before they set out for their trek. Tent city was a large subdivision of tents that resembled a community of houses. Each tent was perfectly uniformed in its appearance and made up a total of fifty tents. Before we went to bead, we studied our maps and made an itinerary to the amount of hiking we would do.
Spanning from 1890 to 1920, the Progressive Era is notable period of transformation for the United States. Throughout this duration, not only is it expanding its role on the world stage, it is going through a transition into a modernist society, a society of consumerism and mass production; a bottom-line business based society symbolized by assembly lines and the use of “scientific management,” and represented by the shift from rural to city life. With such rapid development in a relatively short period, progressively minded individuals sought to “alleviate the dysfunction, or the corruption, or the economic injustice, or the human suffering that had accompanied America’s explosion of industrial growth, urbanization, and new ways of life.” “The Natural Wonder of the Grand Canyon” is a partial embodiment of the progressive era in the United States as portrayed by the ideologies of President Theodore Roosevelt and his square deal.
I have never waited so long in my life, it took and hour and a half just to get three bags out to where the pickup was. We finally got our bags and took a shuttle to the Crown Paradise Hotel. This Hotel was so nice. It had a mini golf course, three pools(1 inside,2 outside), A basketball court, a movie theatre, etc. My hotel room was also super nice there were too connecting rooms so finally for once I got my own bed. The first day I did the most common and went to the beach. The sand was super hot and I’m not too fond of salt water, it just makes swimming in the ocean ten times worse. Then at night I played ping pong and pool against my dad. Then the rest of the week I would go swim in the outside pool or play futsal(soccer on pavement). I always came back with at least one blister on my foot. The worst thing about this trip was the sunburn, in cancun it's way hotter and it's so easy too get burned. This also made it hard because, since the water is so bad whenever I wanted water I would have to walk all the way to the elevator and then all the way down this long hallway to the gift shop and would buy a water bottle then go all the way back to my room. The food although was super good besides there breakfast and ketchup. The last day was the hardest it took so long trying to get on the plane and the car ride was so boring. But that’s my favorite
It was the afternoon of December 31st. That afternoon we had left Jerome in Arizona and drove a couple hours to the Grand Canyon. The drive up there was beautiful. My brother and I sat in the back seat with our headphones on and listening to music. We took a few little naps on the way up to the Grand Canyon. The closer we got we decide to stay awake for the beautiful view. The higher we got going up and up the more hebegebees we all got!
If I were to visit anywhere in this world I would visit Cancun , Mexico. There are many things to do such as climbing,snorkeling,and extreme sports. There is also an amazing view. Mexico offers endless possibilities for adventure. There are plenty of oceans , deserts , forests , and jungles.
Years ago my family took a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I chose this common experience for this memory assignment. First, I made a list of all the things I remembered from my trip at Yellowstone. I remembered we traveled in our motorhome and got halfway to our destination and parked on the side of the road and slept there for the night. I remember seeing the famous geyser; Old Faithful, in addition to seeing lots of bison, and bears. I recall one night that we stayed in a campground bears were in the campground and we were being told to stay in our campers. I also remember during the trip my dad would give me all the spare change and I would collect it. I saved the change up to buy souvenirs or candy. I also remember going to a shirt
When we arrived in Texas, we had to drive all the way to Austin in order for us to get to my grandfathers hotel. When we got there and I saw the hotel, I thought to myself that it was the most beautiful hotel in the world. It had color stained windows and when the sun shined through them, you could see a rainbow. The hotel looked like a catholic church with all of the breathtaking colors. My grandfather said that he loved living there because it made him feel rich.
My youth pastor pulled out of our church parking lot at three am in the morning loaded down with a bus full of twenty four teenagers including me. We were off at last head to Colorado Spring Colorado, little did I know, our bus was going to fall apart this very day.
I would go to Hawaii because I want to be in a peaceful and tropical environment. I’d also go to see a volcano up close. Also to sit under shady palm trees and drink from a cocoanut . I would go to a tropical forest there to see all the different creatures. Then I would try all their different foods.
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.
I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, our friends, and play all sorts of games. This experience made me start to like traveling. Every time I would get the chance to travel, I will take that chance. We were able to go to a theme park, eat many delicious foods, and play many video
