Mount Rainer

My high school used to have a camping trip to the place called big bend national park; that was a memorable journey.We used to hike over there; we spent like two or three hours to attend the highest mountain of big bend national park; you can't imagine how was the beautiful view, it was like you are standing the highest point of this national park, you can see everything you want see of this national park, there don't have anything can impede your sight line, you can see those river as very clearly, and the river is like endless, it keep extend over and over, there also have some cliff, those cliff may have different shape, they cover all the

These species of wildflowers include american bistort, lupine, paintbrush, pasqueflower, gray’s lovage, avalanche lily, and glacier lily. Mount Rainier was formed by years and years of volcanic activity. Roughly 500,000 years ago lava and pumice began to ooze from beneath the crust producing a cone that was about 16,000 ft high. 494,300 year later Mount Rainier violently erupted and collapsed causing mud and debris flow. The last eruption of Mount Rainier occurred 150 years ago. These eruptions produced volcanic ash, lava flows, and avalanches. The lahars damaged vegetation but overtime made the soil fertile which then produced new extensive vegetation. The volcanic ash also negatively affected animal respiratory systems, eyes, and skin. Scientists have not estimated an exact date of the next large eruption of Mount Rainier but they predict similar eruptions and sporadic releases s of steam and ash resulting in mudflow and floods. In conclusion, Mount Rainier is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the United States and there is no telling when or how destructive and effective it’s next eruption will

I decided for my project that I would spend the time researching Mount Baker. Mount Baker is located about 30 miles east of Bellingham, Washington. The Cascade Mountain range extends over 140 miles between Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, Canada. Mount Baker is a Stratovolcano, which is also known as a composite volcano, it is also the highest peak in the North Cascades and the fifth highest in the Cascade mountain range (Volcano Hazards Programs). Cities located near Mount Baker include Abbotsford, British Columbia and Bellingham, Washington. The closest stream to the mountain is the Nooksack River which runs near the west side of the mountain. On the southwest side of the mountain is Baker Lake. I chose this area because it is a very

Mount Vernon’s volunteer program hit a massive milestone in September with the total recorded cumulative volunteer service hours reaching a half million. This equates to an estimated $8 million of in-kind support of Mount Vernon. Dick Noble, one of the first people to join the volunteer program when it began in 1992, manages Mount Vernon’s 400 volunteers. At the end of August, Dick also reached a massive milestone: he became Mount Vernon’s most generous volunteer, devoting 16,100 hours of his time to the organization. Despite volunteering almost 671 complete days, Dick joked, “I don’t work as a volunteer, I have fun.”

Years prior to September 11, 2001 many government officials are believed to have proposed plans to take twin the twin towers in New York City. Whether this is true or not many people from government officials to architects around the world are saying that 911 was a planned attack on U.S soil. They base this off of research and video evidence of the twin towers falling.

Too bad, as the water I brought was now warm. Another trail went up to the summit. It was paved with wood at the bottom, which became wooded steps a bit further up, rather like a wooden escalator. There was a handrail on this section. At the top of the steps, about a third of the way, the trail became narrow and rocky, requiring careful footing. It was there I caught my first views of the other side of the mountain, the West Peak and one of the park’s several lakes— which I believe was Lake Lagunitas-- far below me.

There are times in our lives in which certain events change a part of us, either emotionally, physically or mentally. In our own meaningful way, we have a storm like O’Conner, in which we go through an impactful change.

The painting by Albert Bierstadt “Rocky Mountain, Lander’s Peak” is truly magnificent. Its high horizon line portrays a wide, vast piece of land containing a Native American village besides a lake, sitting below the mountains in the background. The atmospheric perspective is present here with the mountains being painted lighter, and not as detailed, than the rest of the painting. There is a pretty prominent presence of a one point perspective, with the vanishing point being the light, oasis-looking, waterfall in the distance. The colors vibrancy are dependent on the clouds in the sky, being it is clearly not a bright and sunny day, giving a more realistic feel to the whole composition. The focus point, the waterfall, is painted with bright

Protecting Mount Rainier and the surrounding wildlife in the Cascade Range is Mount Rainier National Park. The Park was established on March 2, 1899 and was the 5th National Park in the United States (National Park Service U.S. Dept of Interior). This National park attracts 1.3 million visitors annually seeking adventure in its natural beauty. The park offers backpacking, camping, nature trails, fishing, and horseback riding, snow skiing, and climbing. Approximately 10,000 visitors attempt to reach the peak of Mount Rainier every year. The National Park also has waterfalls, subalpine wildflower meadows, and 26 beautiful glaciers.

Pikes Peak is a beautiful, rocky mountain with a fantastic view. The day my family and I were going to go up Pikes Peak the day was gorgeous. Heading up the mountain is so relaxing, having conversations with my family while looking out the tinted window. Looking out my window I could see columns and rows of the most perfect looking pine trees rising up the peak. During the climb it was so admirable and calm as I was thinking in my head, what a perfect day. The view was fantastic as I got to see the world breathing in all of the fresh air. Pikes Peak has three lakes which are very inviting with its clear blue water glistening from the sun. The lookout on the very tip of Pikes Peak was very foggy and chilly. The view was pretty cool since I’ve

The mountains of central Appalachia have always been known for, almost exclusively, the booming coal deposits that inhabit it, as well as the controversy that comes with the industry. The controversy that involves the wildlife, ecosystems, and residents of the area is one with fine lines, gray areas, and more than simply a good and evil side. The mountains of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee are also home to some of the most extensive biodiversity in our country, as well as rich cultural heritage that extends to the earliest years of our nation. Everything that makes central Appalachia unique and identifiable is exactly what they might be in jeopardy of losing.

Quebec is the providence in Canada, covering nearly 600,000 square miles. The notable landmasses found within Quebec include the Canadian Shield and the Appalachian Mountains. The Encyclopedia of Britannica reveals that the Canadian Shield has ice-smoothed hills, and is the most massive area containing exposed Precambrian rock (Behiels). The Appalachian Mountains are the separating feature distinguishing the Quebec’s borders from Main, Vermont, and New Hampshire (“Quebec Mountains”). The St. Lawrence River flows southwest of Lake Ontario to the northeast. Attractions involving the river include the Québec-Lévis ferry, cruises, and strolls on the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain (Quebec).

In a thousand spots the traces of the winter avalanche may be perceived, where trees lie broken and strewed on the ground; some entirely destroyed, others bent, leaning upon the rocks of the mountain or transversely upon other trees. The path, as you ascend higher, is intersected by ravines of the

Payson's landscape is an ever changing experience of seasons, but my favorite has always been that first snow fall of the year. The way the snow trickles down from the foggy sky and lands on the towering birch trees, is like a scene from a movie. Little chirps eco through the canyon as the birds prepare their homes for a long-awaited winter. We sat and watched as the pine trees quietly gathered the flakes that snuck through the arms of the birch trees. The brisk powder like snow continued to pile up and slowly started to fill in our foot prints, erasing any sign that we were ever there. A few more steps on the trail lead us to one of our most memorable spots. Peering over the edge of the cliff is always a bewildering sight. The vast open valley below was covered in a blanket of milky white snow, and the sweet smelling, cool air was as refreshing as a tall glass of ice water during a smoldering desert summer night. In the distance the sound of the powerful water fall below breaking over the ice sickle reddened boulders is one that is truly breathtaking.
