Waikijo In Hawaii

The last state admitted into the United States so far is Hawaii. Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959. The Hawaiian Islands were settled by the Polynesians first, about 2000 years ago. Then, in 1778, James Cook stopped in the Hawaiian Islands on his way to China. This is the first time the Westerners find out about Hawaii. After that, American ships began settling there, in the early 1800’s. From there, American missionaries come to the Hawaiian Islands, and they wanted to convert the Hawaiians to Christianity. Over time, Americans became very trusted advisors for the rulers. Eventually, in 1840, America would help Hawaii write their first Constitution. This helps them become even closer with the Native Hawaiians. 10 years later, the sugar

The user profile contributes to the environmental impact on Diamond Head. Studies conducted on visitors participating in outdoor recreation concluded that respondents were not particularly aware of how their recreation contributed to environmental impacts (Chapter 3) which is displayed by the users at Diamond Head since the vast majority of hikers are unfamiliar with Hawaii and past experience with any activity is what influences whether people are appropriate in their recreational pursuits (Hammit & Cole, 1998). According to Yara Lamadrid-Rose, coordinator of Diamond Head State Monument, erosion from foot traffic has caused Diamond Head to decrease in height; it has eroded about two feet in 10 years on certain areas of the trail (Watanabe, 2010). The erosion has resulted in the trail surface becoming extremely uneven (DLNR, 2000). Unrestricted access to the interior of the crater has also caused obvious scarring from soil breaking away

Waimanalo is way out away from Waikeke its ttruly excellent, however thereare others ones as well.

It is going to turn right, climbing to a rocky, wide path. The trail then ascends to the northwest side of the valley, cutting through spruce and aspen forest. The forest is not very dense, which means that there are numerous openings within the trees. These openings in the trees will allow you to view the rugged Pyramid Peaks that rise to the south. There is a natural dam that was created by an ancient rockslide that is about one mile from the start of the trail. This dam forms Crater Lake. Once you hit the top of this rockslide, you will enjoy wonderful views of Maroon

Today I arrived at Haleakala National Park to visit for two days. This island is located on the east side of Maui, Haleakala is 33,233 acres. Haleakala means, “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian. Every year Haleakala has over 1.4 million visitors. This year I am one of the lucky visitors to explore this National Park. Made up of a volcano, mountains and beaches this is going to be an adventure so I’m keeping a journal about my adventure at Haleakala National Park. The park is divided into two areas, the summit and coastal Kipahulu area. I will journal about the elevation of the summit and the coastal area Kipahulu.

Reese Wells and his two friends, Brad and Tyler, took an adventure of a lifetime at Zion National Park and Angels Landing in Utah by hiking in the dangerous mountains to fulfill the empty gap in their friendship, making them closer than ever. Reese and his friends were joined by thousands of visitors and tourist on their hike. The hike of the peak was two and half miles and 1400 feet of elevation gain. After they woke up early they were fighting headwinds at the steep edges of the Zion monoliths. The author described the Zion monoliths as purple and blue sky gazes its pale dawn from behind the mountains. The three soon found themselves Walter’s wiggles, leading the to Scout's Landing. Despite the beautiful sight, the hike was still very dangerous.

This 14,411 foot active volcano is hiked by thousands. To reach the summit, there’s a vertical elevation gain of more than 9,000 feet over a distance of eight more miles. Climbers who don’t reach the summit completely have to descend to lower elevations because of bad weather, strong winds, or altitude illnesses. The youngest to make it to the summit was a 7 year old girl, and the oldest person to make it was an 81 year old man. There are

In the passage, "Lava Beds National Monument," the author wrote, "They can also take guided tours of the park, hike along scenic trails,climb cinder cones, and learn about the natural volcanoes and high desert in northern California." The students can go on a guided tour, so that no kid gets hurt or lost. Hiking is good exercise for us kids. Some kids don get the exercise they need,s o this will be the perfect chance for the kids. Climbing seems fun right? Well, guess what they have that to. They also have underground lava tubes that the kids can explore. In the passage, "Lava Beds National Monument," the passage states "Tourists can explore underground lava tubes that look almost like rocky water slides." Us 8th graders will have a lot of fun doing this activities. What makes it even better is that it is on the border of Oregon and California. just imagine being in two states at one time! I have always found that pretty

At the peak of the point this is a panorama of the sea and the red-roofed lighthouse. The lighthouse built in 1909, is not available to walk around just a sight to see on the hillside. (Crosby). If coming between September thru April there is a chance to see migrating humpback whales, as they tend to pass right by this point. Heading down the steep trail to the tide pools there is a blow-hole that can blast up to 50 feet in the air. “The Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) has loads of information for new hikers, visitors and serious adventurers interested in exploring one of Oahu's more than 80 trails. The club has been exploring the island since 1910. On the Web: http://htmclub.org” (Crosby). Another great hike on the south side, Maunawili Falls Trail is a 3-mile round trip in the jungle, be sure to put on sneakers or boots, as it can become muddy from the rain and coverage of the trees. Following the path through the jungle of trees you will reach the waterfall. “At its base is the larger, lower pool encircled by fern-covered cliffs. Up a slippery slope is a second, smaller pool where the waterfall splits in two.” (Ball, p186). This is a beautiful area to swim and relax being surrounded by

Volcanoes in Hawaii are dangerously spewing lava into the sea. People who live in the area like tour guides need to avoid the danger it brings. “Tour boat captains whose vessels cruise along the shoreline are constantly watching the cliffs and lava to keep their passengers safe.”(Jones) The area is constantly changing because if the lava making new landforms so locals have to keep an eye out. The workers who work at the park need to keep an eye on the tourist. “On land, the National Park Service is responsible for the safety of visitors along the shore. It has restricted the areas that people can enter to view the flow.”(Jones) By being around this area is extremely dangerous, but people curious mind always gets the best of them.

To begin with, I am afraid of falling off the side of a mountain. Even if the edge is over 100 feet away, I can still picture myself tripping and accidentally going over the edge. Because of this fear, I absolutely did not want to go on the hike. I pouted, whined, and did everything I could to resist the adventure. The hike aside, the car ride to the base of the volcano is terrifying enough because of the twisty, mountainous roads in addition to left-hand side driving. And why was no else concerned that the volcano might erupt while we were on it? Unfortunately for me (at the time), my family and I made it to the starting point of the trail. I trudged up the volcano, trailing behind the rest of my family, and after two terrifying and exhausting hours, we made it to the summit. It was breathtaking. We were literally in the clouds, we could see Saint Lucia in the distance, and seeing the steam rolling off the bottom of the crater was unexpectedly exhilarating. I could never have imagined what a volcano would look like, and I am so grateful that my family forced me to go—I will never miss an opportunity like that just because I do not feel like

When we went to Hilo I learned a lot. Some things that I learned was that on the hike you are not alloed to abet anything otherwise you will be cursed. Also on the lava tube hike it was different cause I am use to being balmy. Even when there was an influx when we just got there I was very cold cause it was like freezing. And because there was a congregation of people I got warmer from peoples body heat. When we went on the hike I felt humdrum cause I knew it was going to take lots of effort and work. Cause you have to be very agile to jump of rocks and intricately walk through or around cracks. Some times I even had to divert to a safer path.

“You are all a lost generation,” quoted from Gertrude Stein as the epigraph in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, popularized the title “the Lost Generation” — a generation who experienced the World War I, specifically a group of American writers came of age during the Great War. The devastating war shattered their traditional notions of honor, faith and morality and their motivation of life. In pursuit of a more artistic life and an evasion from depression, many American writers immigrated to major European cities life Paris and led a life characterized by detachment and disillusionment. The novel The Sun Also Rises portrait the lives of Jake Barnes, a veteran of World War I and an American expatriate in Paris, and his companions. In
