Personal Narrative: The Smoky Mountains

My first trip to the Ozarks was one of the most fun trips I've taken. Even though it was only my mom, cousin, and I we still had a blast.

After about an hour and a half we stopped for a little break for about fifteen minutes and continued on the trail. Four hours in and we somehow ended up on a different trail and had to figure out how to get to where we were trying to go to begin with which was a bit of a task we had to climb and jump from these rather large rocks which had big gaps in between them so we had to jump from one to another we decided to regroup and stay here for awhile we sat on the large rocks looking at our maps to find our way we ate some snacks, talked and took

Who wouldn't want to take a vacation in the Smoky Mountains? The smokies have been there for a very long time. In the mountains there's still historical landmarks. Many plants and animals have inhabited the mountains and made them their home. The Smokies have many interesting and fun attractions and things to do. The history of the smokies are quite interesting to listen to and hear about. The smoky mountains are a beautiful place to visit.

You know what is really fun... doing what I did this summer! What I did this summer is go to Tennessee cabins. Tennessee cabins is a huge cabin of choice you stay in for as many nights as you book. The Tennessee cabin I went to was called Majestic springs. Majestics springs had a four jacuzzi baths ,and a hot tub.

When we reached Yellowstone we made my dad pull over and we stopped at Yellowstone Lake. I remember my dad telling us that the ice just melted from the mountain so it was cold. We did not care we went in anyway, he was right. It was freezing cold so as we came out and our dad was smiling, he bet us we could not reach to the middle of the lake. We decided to try and make a raft to get us to the middle and to paddle with are hands there and back. As we tried to make a raft out of the huge logs we found near by we could not find anything to tie them together so we just decided to hold on to all of them. As you can only imagine, it failed and we went into the water. We gave up after a half hour and got back in to the car. It was so beautiful going up the side of the mountain. I remember going up and seeing a mama wolf, she had two little cubs playing by the logs. We stayed in Yellowstone that night. We got up early the next morning and saw old faithful waiting for it to irrupt. Saw other geysers and some colorful ones. We went back to the cabin and as we were eating diner we saw a pack of wolves run by. That night all we heard the wolves so close but then it disappeared in the middle of the night. As

April 30: Today was the first day we spent at the world's most visited national park, The Great Smoky Mountains. We got here at 7:00 AM. The Great Smoky Mountains are located between North Carolina and Tennessee. According to my research that I did before we came, The Great Smoky Mountains have many things like Black Bears, Cades Cove, lots of flowers, and many things things to do. We haven't done anything yet but we will start everything tomorrow. We are gonna stay for 5 days.

At the Great Smoky Mountains you can hike, swim, and look at all the amazing animals

An adventurous vacation that turned into the most fearful and freighting experience in my life and everyone involved. The Great Smoky Mountains, a national park to the North of Carolina often called one of the most beautiful and extraordinary nature parks in the United States. Most tourists who visit this national park are looking for Great adventures and to find themselves interacting with mother Earth.

Low battery. Exactly the two words I didn’t want to see right now. While on our annual trip to Kansas we are in Brian's truck heading out to the corn fields to shoot our limits of geese and ducks. Waiting for this trip every year is like going through pregnancy. You wait 9 months for it and when it finally comes your whole life changes.

The Highlight of the trip was probably my trip right outside Zion National Park, In the morning we planned to just hike and be by ourselves. The thought of a plethora of people, mostly tourists scares me, all I wanted that day was to be surrounded by my friends and my dog. Initially, we planned on hiking Angels Landing in Zion National Park, but since pets are not allowed we had to change our itinerary for the day. Therefore, we asked a local for close hiking places nearby that was secluded and allowed dogs, we were told to visit and hike Eagle Crags. Eagle Crags turned out to be a perfect match for my trip, it was about twenty-five minutes away on almost inaccessible dirt roads from Zion, but it was well worth it, there were no one else on

The author of the excerpt "Great Smoky Mountains National Park" is able to convey that the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains was successful. He is able to do so by revealing the popularity of the park today and by telling how the park is full of biodiversity and beauty. One way that the author way able to convey his opinion of the success of the national park was by revealing its popularity. In the first paragraph of the selection he states that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,which is located between North Carolina and Tennessee at the southern end of the Appalachian Mountain Range, is the most visited park in the United States. This shows just how profitable the park is today, by showing how it attracts two million tourists from

During the past two days I have driven through mountains, forests, past lakes, over rivers, creeks, and in cropped fields that fall into the big blue of Montana. During this essay I will talk about them.

My heart was thumping heavily, as the bus took a turn towards the mountains. I didn’t know why I had agreed, but it was too late to turn back.

When we finally got to The Wilderness we got checked in. To be honest getting checked in sucked. It was like 30 minutes of waiting for Dad to come out of the building with our keycards. I know this isn't the trip we're talking about, but on our most recent trip my dad couldn't remember Brianna's last name. Long story short Brianna was my sister for 3 days! :)

This summer, I learned I could do some athletic things in the most stereotypical, cliche way imaginable. I climbed a mountain. My dad and I had gone up to the North Shore on a father-son trip. I am not at all athletically gifted, so I was not looking forward to it. I could not envision myself climbing a mountain. To climb a mountain you had to be agile and surefooted. I was neither of those things. I was, and still am, very clumsy. Also my hand-eye coordination is egregious. I was exactly the opposite of what you needed to be to climb a mountain. I was academically gifted, but didn't play any sports and had no athletic experience whatsoever. My dad was also very academically gifted, but he was also a stellar athlete. He competed in track, pommel horse, rings, and rowing when he was in school. I proved deficient at all of these sports, having tried them many times. But we were still going to climb the mountain.
