In my life I have spent a great deal of time in northern Minnesota. That is the home of most of my family. There was a time that I lived up there, but due to constant changes in the world of lumber and saw mills, I have had to move. Every trip up back to the place I called home, we would see a large hill. It was a ski area. This place was a symbol for how close we were until I got to see my family. Under more scrutiny, I have discovered that it more than just a ski hill. This hill is called Spirit Mountain. This large hill contain multiple burial sites, and was used by the Indigenous group, the Anashaanabe.

Voted the second most beautiful vista in America, Mount Washington is a well-known overlook of downtown Pittsburgh. Mount Washington, now a beautiful mountain with a tree covered Cliffside, was not always known for its sights. Many are unaware of the dirty environment that it used to be. Once known as Coal Hill, Mount Washington was the location of many coal mines. Back in the late 1800’s, this mountain was the source that fueled and built Pittsburgh. From the ravaging coal minds to the breathtaking Inclines, there is a lot of history that is hidden under the beautiful area which we now know as Mount Washington.
Mount Rainer is the 5th National park. This National park was established by an act of congress in 1899.

In 1988, 97% of Mount Rainer was designated as wilderness.
Animal species are largely segregated by the environment for which they are suited to live in an their inability to thrive in non-similar conditions. Northern Arizona has quite an extreme climate; the high elevation, frigid temperatures and immense forestation make it a very hit or miss environment for animals to establish homes within during winter, weeding out species less suited for such a climate and allowing those more acclimated to thrive. However, During spring and summer many more species are able to thrive in the vast fields of fresh vegetation that is not found in the more southern regions.
This is my research paper over the Smokey Mountains, which are located in Tennessee and part of North Carolina. One interesting fact about the Smokey Mountains is that it is the nation's busiest park, that draws more than nine million visitors a year, twice the number of any other national park. What most of the millions of people that visit usually see is the park from a mountain-skimming highway that, on a normal weekend day during the summer, draws over 50,000 people.

Ice Mountain is a place of beauty and rarity. All four of the systems of the earth, the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, helped to contribute to make Ice Mountain the rare astounding piece of our collective geoheritage that it has become. Ice Mountain’s creation and uses helps make it one of the most interesting and important mountains in West Virginia that has been impacted by many earth systems throughout history. Ice Mountain is very important to the biosphere. It provides habitats for breeding warblers, thrushers, vireos, as well as several other important types of birds. It also carries several species of arboreal plants from starflowers to hemlocks. Eastern hemlocks help to cool the ice vents, which help to cool the mountain and give it its name of Ice Mountain.
An important factor to consider when buying a house is the location. Specifically, people pay attention to its immediate surroundings to grasp if the area is safe. This notion is highly apparent in urban cities. Spanning a wide diverse area, Downtown Los Angeles is very intricate, consisting of many different parts. For example, there is Little Tokyo that has numerous authentic Japanese shops and restaurants. It is one of the main tourist attractions that people visit. Then, a couple blocks down, people will find themselves in Skid Row —the infamously dangerous territory. This area, in particular, is a place that I avoid because I fear for my safety. Skid Row is considered dangerous because of its high amount of homelessness. Because of this,
The mountain has claimed many lives and will for as long as there is still people wanting to climb Everest, but they will know the risks of the mountain and all that can happen when climbing the most dangerous tallest mountain in the world so high that planes fly past the top of it.
Religion is a key part of the lives of Sioux people. They believe everything has a spirit, therefore, their land has a spirit that should not be broken. The Sioux people have lived off of the land through the vegetation and hunting game. By bulldozing and violating their land, the government is tearing apart their lives and their spirits. The land and the spirits are incredibly sacred that when death comes, the spirits are allowed to go on to a spirit world. During death, the tribe members mourn the deceased heavily and bury them in the earth, under rocks or trees, and sometimes leave them out in the case of fallen warriors. Along with the bodies being sacred, the deceased’s belongings are also sacred and are usually buried with the body to help their journey to the spirit world. Many government officials are unaware of the practices of the Sioux people. This ignorance leads to the belief that since we do not know it is wrong, it is not wrong. As a result, the construction and digging up of land is ruining the burial sites of Sioux people from hundreds of years ago.
This is something I've been wanting to tackle for quite a while. It's a very controversial topic within the community and I'd like to see where some peoples heads are at within the forum. This is not meant to spark an argument, so please refrain from that. We all have opinions and are open to hear other peoples opinions.
Often mystical development and advance are depicted as climbing an otherworldly mountain. This is your very own pile of development and advancement. In the event that you wish, you could call it Mount _____ (fill in your own particular name). I will promise you that it is an extremely tall mountain and will take a lot of your own push to ace the move to the top. The highest point of this individual mountain might be perfectly clear to your view or it could be covered in haze or mists, baffling yet calling. As welcoming as this individual otherworldly mountain may be to you right now, we have to move down for a minute to see a more extensive point of view.
The ski resort is where me and my family went, guess what happened well we all got NOROVIRUS how you ask well here's the story. I was very stressed out waiting for a vacation it was finally winter break so we went to the ski resort in colorado. We were so excited to go not knowing what would happen. I packed all my stuff one by one listening to music and dancing around by room with bliss. Twirling and twirling with the sun shining, the birds chirping, smell of chocolate waffles was in the air, this day seemed perfect. I went downstairs to eat breakfast, everyone was so excited, the breakfast was heavenly. My mom makes these waffles when something special is going on. We raced to the car to see who was going to get the best spot. I did, i got the one with the tv and plugged my headset and watched movies with my sister.
Should climbers be entitled to rescue services on a mountain? When people are climbing mountains such as Mount Everest or Mount Rainier they know what kind of danger they are placing themselves in. Many people think that because the services exist they can abuse it and call for help at any time. Even though these services exist they should only be used in a crisis, because more people than one climber are being put at risk. As the mountains grow in popularity more people want to travel to them. Many companies are going in debt because of climbers who think they know what they are doing when they do not. Furthermore, the reason some people have for needing rescued are ridiculous. These are three main topics as to why climbers should not be entitled to a rescue.
