Once the men had a conversation on what to do they came to a conclusion which was to turn back around. In which they did and several days later they seen some Indians that lead them through the mountains as quickly as possible. The men decided to split up to find different routes to take back home. The men divide into five small groups and went through some complicated investigations to find the best route.

the wagons were long gone. Some men went to try to get help but they got

"Don 't worry," Rachel and Ben said simultaneously, "It 's only like a four to five hour hike, unless you get lost." Rachel and Ben were my coaches while I was at camp. I could call them counselors, but they weren 't exactly counselors to me, more like second parents, or coaches. Little did I know, this "four or five hour hike" would be one of the worst experiences of my life.

They had 20 minutes to pack everything that they would need. Then they were forced onto a bus, taken to a train station. From there they were put into a train car made for cattle and livestock with almost 40 other people. Those included a librarian, a teacher, and a mother who had just given birth less than a day ago. They were on the train for a long time.

So they started walking towards Canada. They went through Yellowstone park. Then they went up to Canyon Creek and got attacked there. It was a long journey up to Canada. They were getting sick and were dying off.

They traveled for over seven months struggling through deaths, dangers, and hardships that had them hanging on their last few strings of life. They faced things such as animals suffering from exhaustion and having to eat pretty much everything that they could find. This lasted until they reached Pierre Hole, their resting point. At prairie hole they were helped by believe it or not the “indians”. Pierre Hole was described as a “fine grassy plane among the mountains” and was where everyone nursed themselves back to health in a way. Here there was an abundance of meat that they feasted on and recouped. They got clean water and had a very social time with the “indians” learning about each other's stories and creating

One day, Abby, Jenna, and their parents were going camping. Early in the morning, their mom ran into their room and yelled that they were late and needed to go right that second. They jumped out of bed and dumped one of their drawers into their suitcase. They closed it, got ready, and ran to the car.

Before the first snow fall he had already reached California and was planning a return party to help his family and the rest of the party. He knew that they weren’t doing so well. He was part of the

The very next day, they were sitting in some local diner, talking about the places they could explore. They could go hiking near Eklutna Lake, Flat Top, or Matanuska Glacier. A local man sitting at the table next to them was listening to their conversation and made a suggestion that they look into Seward. Seward was home of adventurous trails and about two hours away from Anchorage. So, they paid the check, threw random clothes and some deodorant into a backpack, filled the car with gas, and started driving to Seward, a place neither of them ever heard of before. When they reached Seward, somewhere around five o’clock, they checked into a hotel, ate some dinner, and then went hiking up until eleven at night. The next morning, at breakfast, they both agreed to hike the Harding Ice field Trail. This trail sat next to Exit Glacier and was suggested for experience hikers only, as it was considered very strenuous. Of course, Conner had been hiking the whole time he had been out in Alaska, but it had been about a year since his little sister went

A violent gust of wind laughed as the two girls were trying to reach the conclusion of the hike. The bitter mountain scorned at Lori and Kayla, unleashing its wrath by letting rocks fall keeping the girls on their toes. Lori and Kayla felt as though the entire world was against them. They were so sure that they picked the correct path, but after walking another three miles, the pathway was slowly disappearing from under their feet and they had no idea where they were.“What are we going to do Kayla! We are completely lost, and there it is impossible to get down the way we came. I have no idea where we came from!” Lori exclaimed. Kayla stood there silent in complete shock about what their current situation was. Kayla thought to herself, “I am supposed to be the strong one. But I don't think I can keep this up. I don’t have a plan. What if we never make it off this mountain? It will be my

Unexpectedly, May was the cruelest month. I thought the snowy.mountain tops where beginning to melt off. I was wrong, and May had other plans. At lower altitudes it was rain, but above 10,000 feet it fell in the form of sticky, wet, snow. Winter was mild, letting on that Colorado would be passable by late spring, it was a hoax. Hikers formed into parties and attempted to hike on, only to be forced by the snow to turn around. We sat in town for days, twiddling our thumbs and pitching ideas around. On the forth day we came up with a solution. We stuffed a minivan with seven hikers and seven backpacks and headed to Wyoming. Our plan was to hike south, back to Colorado, connect our footsteps.
