What Is My Favorite Day Of My Life?

We took a detour to a small, secluded lake that was completely surrounded by thick forests. The snow that blanketed the lake was untouched and it glistened in the soft sunlight. We skied across to the middle of the lake and took a few minutes of silence. In that moment, I felt my whole world flip upside down. It was so quiet I almost felt uncomfortable as I’d never stood in complete and utter silence, but my senses were focused elsewhere; I had so much to

You decided take a hike through the woods you know the area so you not going to get to lost. You head out the door and head for the woods you find a hike trail and follow it. You hear the crunching of leaves under your feet sounds of nature all around you as you continue to go along the trail. You find a trail going up and up as you go up it finally comes to an abrupt end there's a bench you sit on it and look out and see a huge forest. A lush green forest sprawled out in front of you the sun's rays illuminating certain parts of the forest you see trees swaying back and forth from the breeze. It's quite beautiful you stay there until the sun start setting and you realize you have to head back nothing else you can do so you had back. You see

The mountains are a beautiful adventure. As you walk up the incline, trees overhang, animals run wild, and rivers roar. All of these are things that keep me coming back to hike. On my most recent hike, while it may have been 100 degrees back home, where I was it was a chilling 40 degrees. As we walked around ten miles up and over the mountain, I took many breaks to catch my breath and take in the majestic scenery. There are also the snow skiing vacations. While you can’t see anything besides snow and trees, the adventure of cruising down the slopes is full of adrenalin. The mountains have always signified an adventure for me. Just like the mountains, life is a beautiful adventure. I do not know yet what adventures are in store for my life, but I look forward to them. I strive to see the beauty in everything.

Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air, on other parts of the trail it [the weather conditions] would be smothering heat, but meanwhile a few states north the rain would fall endlessly with gusts of cold wind, and snow would blanket the pathways of the trail and more than likely blizzards

The book “A Walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson was a great read and very much exhibited the division between Americans and the natural world people tend to forget. It takes true dedication to walk through the Appalachian Trail. With sweat, time, and dedication it will pay

The scenes journey along the Appalachian Trail captures the true magnificence and greatness of the eastern U.S. of wilderness. Starting in the Deep South at the foothills of the smoky mountains, this journey overwhelms one with southern beauty while also making one experience the South’s legendary simplicity and retreat from the urban gridlock of modern society. The Appalachian Trail’s scenery attracts many people from all over the world to witness it for them. Causing many people to come with their families and possibly volunteer.

On a blazing hot summer early morning with the city traffic roaring! And the hot sun blazing, birds chirping and the smell of fresh green grass. Me and my family were packing and getting ready for our yearly powwow trail trip. My mooshum and kokum were they’re usual selves laughing and cracking jokes, I and my cousins knew they weren’t that funny but laughed at their jokes anyways. After we were all packed and ready we all piled into my kookum’s van and set off to our destination with the hot sun reflecting off the black pavement. The drive to Muskoday reserve was long and tiring, the van was humid and making us irritated, so I decided to roll down my window to let the summer air cool us off, the cool breeze was flowing and the music was booming! A bit later we arrived to our destination with our eyes popping taking in all the scenery around us, mind you this was our first time being in the reserve Muskoday. The excitement of being there and meeting new people was over whelming, the anxious feeling of just wanting to run off and enjoy the scenery with my cousins and friends I had met before from the powwow trails we took yearly.

After a long mountainous drive, I arrived at my destination to embrace one of nature’s wonders in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, Abram Falls Trail. Upon departing the car, a cool crisp breeze brushed my face and the aroma of bacon lingered in the early morning air from the neighboring campground. The narrow rocky footpath looked like a tedious adventure, however a gorgeous, vibrant array of red, purple, orange, and yellow wildflowers blossoming at the entrance made the trail alluring. Navigating the rocky, uneven terrain required sturdy footing, but the quiet stillness created a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. The lush pine-oak forest formed a green canopy of shelter above the trail, offering welcome cool shade, as vivid sunlight filtered through the foliage. A sweet honey fragrance permeated the air, as a stunning scene displayed a cluster of purple and pure white

We setout with our nalgines full of watter and we thought that we would not even use halph, But we undermested the heat and the terain of the trail. At first it was nice and shadie walk through nature. There where lots of trees and felids of crops surrounding us, and I loved it. We where all happy untill we had to climb a 200 foot h, and to make things even worst the clouds have moved and now the sun is bakeing. When we made it to the top, we where all

I was the last one found in the teepee by my two little sisters. It took them about 20 minutes to find me, and while they were looking for me I could see them running through the cracks in the teepee. It was about 3’oclock which was our down time. During down time we would all go and our tents and read, or just relax. In my down time I like to think about everything I saw in the park, and do some research on the park.

Once we got dressed for the first night of hunting, the guide met us at the cabin and told us the plan. The first night we decided to sit in a treestand together. We chose this option because we didn’t know the land and wanted to get used to the terrain. The guide took us down the mountain on four wheeler and was going to walk us to our treestand. We had no idea what to expect. The main trail into the woods was a very steep hill that sucked to walk every time we went into the woods. The first time wasn’t too bad because I was excited and my adrenaline was pumping. We kept walking after the hill and started off to our treestand. The guide lead us there then let us hunt for the rest of the day. We sat a good two and a half hours. We didn’t see much the first day, but we knew that it would get better. We thought of the

When I was a little girl my grandparents went on a trip out west. They flew to Colorado and from there they began their road trip through the vast wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. They came home and told me stories of the great, beautiful mountains and about all the beautiful farms and wildlife. Of all the stories they told me, the one that stood out the most was the day they visited Yellowstone National Park. The moment I heard their story, I knew I had to visit there one day. Hearing about Yellowstone’s variation of wildlife, Old Faithful, and nature has made Yellowstone the number one place I would like to visit.

It wasn’t until the morning of Saturday, May 21, 2016 that I realized what the true feeling of unconditional love was. The moment a parent looks into his or her child’s eyes there is just so much love it’s unbelievable. People think they know what love is when they love a significant other, family member, or a close friend; however, that love is nothing compared to the love a parent experiences the day his or her child is born. That is the love I felt the moment I placed my beautiful baby boy on my chest.

It was a typical lazy Sunday afternoon. While eating my lunch I decided to turn on the television. “Meow!!” a loud noise from the TV got my attention.

One again acknowledging my surroundings, I built up the courage to keep walking along the path as if everything was normal. I recalled the best of times shared here in this park with my friends, where we had our best of times playing, talking and sharing our amazing made up stories of us coming together to be a complete family.
