Wind Cave National Park is the 8th park to become a national park, if I were to visit I would do four things. I would watch wildlife, study cave formations, go horseback riding, and I would go on a hike. Wind Cave has been protected since 1903. Respected as sacred by American Indians, cave expeditions did not start until 1881, when the entrance was noticed by two brothers, Jesse and Tom Bingham. They heard a loud whistling noise, which led them to a small hole in the ground, which is the cave’s only essential opening.

The first thing I would do is observe the wildlife they have and take notes on what they eat and how they travel, like if they travel alone or if

One formation I would study is Frostwork, it is a delicate needle-like growth of calcite or a similar material, because it looks really interesting. Another formation I would study is Flowstone, they are composed of sheet-like deposits of calcite. The final cave formation I would study is Dogtooth Spar because I think it looks really intriguing, is another formation made out of calcite.
The third thing I would do is go horseback riding and explore the land while riding a horse. I would bring a lot of water with me to drink because there are no water stops along the horse trail. I would also bring a lot of bug spray because there are a lot of ticks, mosquitoes, and deer flies in the park. I would have to stay away from the wild bison because they will charge at you without warning.
The final thing I would do is go on a long hike and exercise. But i have to be careful because large wildlife, including bison, elk, and mountain lion roam throughout the park. There is one trail I want to go on called Elk Mountain, it is a short loop trail that winds around the Elk Mountain Campground. I like it because leashed pets are allowed on the
It was late in the afternoon when my family and I arrived at our summer vacation destination, Garner State Park. Garner is one of the best and well known places in Texas to go overnight camping, hiking, and swimming. The main attraction of the park is the Frio River which flows through one side of the entire park. While on the other side, it is nothing but the wilderness. There is also a huge mountain with several trails and a couple of caves that people can
The entire tour requires a lot of walking, so wearing tennis shoes is recommended. Dress prepared for a cool environment because while inside the cave you will experience temperatures from 50-60 degrees. As you walk along the tour of the Bristol Caverns, a tour guide will inform you about the history of the cave: such as the original entrance place to the caverns used by the Cherokee Indians and how an early pioneer would store his fruit in the cave for extended freshness (tour guide). While the guide leads you through the cave of the caverns, you can view many formations and scenes. The formations are called stalagmites and stalagtites, which are created by the moisture and minerals in the cave hardening. One inch of these formations lengths can take from 150-300 years to form (tour guide). During the tour you will venture through different levels of the cave.

Imagine a scenic, wild landscape with animals that roam freely, cascading waterfalls, and mountains that seem to scrape the pale blue sky. This is what one thinks when first hearing the name Yosemite National Park. Unfortunately, the reality is completely opposite. Yosemite is now under a federally regulated Class 1 area under the Clean Air Act, which is equivalent to the pollution of Los Angeles (“National Parks Service”). It is a sad comparison to the past John Muir, who first documented Yosemite Valley, to today’s reality. The condition of Yosemite National Park should be introduced to the American public in order to protect its historic beauty and significance, eliminate current pollution, and prevent future repercussions.
Yellowstone park was the first national park in the United States. The park dates back as far as 11,000 years ago, when the Native Americans were the first to stumble upon the
Another difference between the two caves is Mystery Cave is owned by the State of Minnesota. The state funds are used for upkeep and to pay tour guides. Not receiving any state funding, Niagara Cave is privately owned. Niagara Cave is the number one privately owned cave in the United States. The current owners are a family named the Bishops. They have owned the cave for twenty-one years.
Camping, hiking, kayaking, rafting, mountaineering, and backpacking are all recreational activities that a group of people may do together when visiting the park. Flightseeing, birdwatching, and sport fishing are other activities people may do

Another option you have to viewing the serenity of this place is through a scenic cruise on Jenny Lake. On this cruise you would spend approximately 1 hour learning about the history and geolo...
I have lived in a little town called Packwood all my life and it is the last town on Highway 12, you see before you enter the park. Since I was little, I spent my summer camping and being in the park. My father sells campfire wood in two of the bigger campgrounds in the park, White River and Ohanapecosh Campground. So I would join him and help him with the firewood, so I grew up in the park. There are so many things you can do in the park, like hiking up to a former fire lookout, hiking down into a lake and fishing.
At this National Park you may find miles and miles of hiking trails through volcanic craters, hot deserts and rainforests. They have Drive Chain of Craters Roads, Ranger Programs, A Walk Into The Past, and After Dark in the Park.
Located in sunny south florida, Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States(NPS). It’s amazing, rare, and endangered wildlife and vegetation attracts tourists from all over the world. It is even known as “The River of Grass” for its abundance of sawgrass. Unlike most of the parks studied throughout the semester, Everglades National Park lies in the Atlantic Coastal Plain with a lower elevation. Visiting this park will be personally interesting for me because it is located close by my house and I’ve always known about its interesting features, but I never really took time to visit or cherish its beauty. Therefore, planning a trip and learning about the geology of Everglades National Park realistically
According to Purdue Owl, Plagiarism “is the uncredited use (both intentional and unintentional) of somebody else's words or ideas.” (Purdue University 2013) Chynette Nealy defines Plagiarism as “presenting someone's words or other creative products as one's own.” (Nealy 2011)
Plagiarism is when someone steals or copies someone else’s work without giving credit to the original owner. As soon as someone else’s work has been used citation is required in order to show that it is made by the original creator. There are many types of ways of plagiarism. Such as find-replace, 404 error, duplicate and hybrid.
The true definition of plagiarism is “Using someone else’s ideas or phrasing and representing those ideas or phrasing as our own, either on purpose or through carelessness.”[2] There are many different ways of remedying this problem.
The worst day of my life began innocently enough with my small group of friends preparing to explore a cave. Each month the four of us, I, Jill, John, and Ted, would choose two or three caves and spend our weekends engrossed in exploring them. Today’s cave was a special one; it afforded just a small window of opportunity for exploration because it flooded completely with each high tide. As we checked our packs and made sure all our spelunking and survival gear was in order, a rather jovial, but sizable, fellow by the name of Scott Porker happened by and asked if he could join our group. We agreed, as we were always happy to be in the company of a kindred spirit, and since the tide had just gone out we began our descent into the cave.
