On Tuesday, March 29, 2016 I attended a geography film event at Sykes called “Remembering Hells Canyon.” The creator of this film, Patricia Keith, attended this event. Patricia Keith teaches video production at a college level. Her production company, Buffalo Eddy Productions has created many films. They’re mostly known for making in-hand adventures films in places like South America, Southeast Asia, China, Canada and much more. Patricia explained how difficult it was to film these adventure films. Most of these films are constructed in a remote location. These remote locations are very hard to access by foot. Buffalo eddy used transportation like busses, trains, bush planes, carts, wagons, ferries, canoes, and land cursers to access the remote …show more content…
I was surprised when I found out that people live along side of such a beautiful canyon like this. It is said that still to this day you can see signatures of past residence that lived here on rocks and cabins. Although many don’t remain settled there today, they still make routine deliveries to forest service locations. It is amazing that a mail delivery system dating back to the 1920’s still continues today. The most amazing part of this film is seeing how settlers lived in such a remote place on earth. No electricity, no running water etc. Many citizens came to the United States because of the industrial revolution. This reminds me of when we talked about the citizens came over seas in hopes of a better life and getting a job. These citizens all lived in Miami and created their own community much like Hells Canyon. While I was watching this film I just could not understand on why many settlers chose to live here. Setting in the Hells Canyon is the complete opposite of the industrial revolution. We talked about in class, people often are not choosing where to live but actually forced to live where they do. I think the example of the Hells Canyon is the opposite. Many settlers have actually moved and choose to live in this wild
Most people think that the Providence Canyon which is also known as "Little Grand Canyon" should stay a state park. Well, I believe that it should become a national park. There are so many things that the park would make better if it were a national park.

National Geographic’s American science journalist, Michelle Nijhuis published an article on August 27th, 2014 discussing the process of the removal of the Glines Canyon Dam on the Elwha River in Washington State. The removal of the Glines Canyon dam is the largest dam removal that has ever taken place thus far. The removal of the dam began in late 2011, 3 years later after the removal of the dam was complete the salmon began again migrating down river, trees and vegetation began to sprout in the reservoir bed, and sediment that was once trapped behind the dams walls are now rebuilding beaches at Elwha’s outlet to the sea. In the last 5 miles of the 45 mile Elwha river, where Olympic National Park now lies, the salmon run were world famous and
Have you heard or visited the Providence Canyon? If so don't you think the Federal Government should make it a national park? The Providence Canyon is located in the southwest of Georgia's Coastal Plains. It was nicknamed Georgia's " Little Grand Canyon" because of the beautiful sandstone formations found in that area. The people that have visited this canyon think that it is a beautiful place to go that you can even camp in it. The Providence Canyon was once a forest, but that all changed in the 1800 when farmers moved in the area and started growing crops. There are several things that travelers can see while they are at this little grand canyon.
We went to southwestern Colorado to learn more about the history of the Anasazi Indians. The amalgamation of tribes which lived thousands of years ago in the American Southwest. We had brought along a minimum amount of cash (approximately $150.00 each). Because we were going to spend only one night in a motel and camp during the rest of the trip. We hiked many miles. Covering closes to twenty miles a day. Our entire club began to get tired and irritated on the third day. But the rewards were worth the effort. Although our trek was long and arduous. I will never forget the sight of the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings in the early morning sunlight on June
Generally when one thinks of the American west their mind jumps to an image of untouched, unspoiled land, such as the land that is represented by America’s national parks. These tourist destinations in the West showcase the history of our nation’s land in a way that many people assume is and has always been the reality, but although the natural beauty of these lands is represented perhaps the beauty of the cultures that used to inhabit them is not.
In the passage, it is mainly talking about three possible theories about how the settlements of Chaco Canyon were used. However, in the lecture the professor points out that these theories are unconvincing by providing three reasonable arguments.

The setting of the story Canyons is, well, it’s in the canyons. Were a native tribe lives and the main characters are raised. The tribe originated from this certain area and has been here forever. As far as you can see, it’s all the same desert.
My parents are the epitome of the classic tourist archetype, and forced my siblings and I on many a road trip in our green minivan at least twice a year during my childhood. I have spent time in forty five of the fifty states, experiencing museums and tourist traps galore, but one of my favorite sites to see as a child was the Crazy Horse monument in the side of South Dakota’s Black Hills. The face of a Native American chief, memorialized in mountainside, is incomplete, but taking shape to pay homage ____. The overwhelming fascination and curiosity with Native American culture has caused a rift between the Native American community and the archaeological community; the paths of tribes and scientists have converged messily in the past century as sacred burial grounds have been transformed into excavation sites. This convergence caused the passing of the Native American Graves and
The landscape is stark, but the beauty startling. The expanses seem to welcome, even beg you to explore. It’s a call you are unlikely to be able to resist (assuming it’s not scorchingly hot and you are not hungover from a big night in moments-away Las Vegas), nor is it one you should. In front of you is one of America’s grand spectacles, Red Rock Canyon.
The effective surface areaof a city is much larger than that of a rural countryside ofequivalent size. Due to the canyon-like topography ofurban areas, especially the urban cores, one might expectthe city to possess a greater ability to exchange heat byradiative and turbulent transfer. Shortwave radiation ismore efficiently absorbed in the urban areas than in ruralareas. The canyon topography leads to an increase in theactive absorbing surface and allows for multiplereflections of solar radiation, resulting in the shortwaveradiation being more easily absorbed than in rural areas. In reality, however, the configuration of buildings tendsto trap radiation within the city and even reduces theturbulent transport at street level due to stagnationbetween
What is more memorable of our trip to The Grand Canyon? Grey described it perfectly in a timeless passage of a sunset, “burnishing the desert to red and gold – too late for the artist’s work but not too late for his soul.” The scenery, the sheer scale of the canyon was amazing, humbling, and stimulating to imagine the peoples who settled that area and eked out a living; using plants for foods, dying cloth, and medicine to survive.
