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

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.

There is no vanity on the AT (The Appalachian Trail) and more than some walk in the woods.  Seems like it would be just an adventure.  It started as a journey and a leap of faith to hike the entire Georgia section of the AT in less than 6 days.  Day 4 it became a transformation.  I saw less than 10 people hiking for 6 days and 90 miles.  I hiked till 7pm each day (one hour prior to sunset) and wherever the spirit led me, I set up my tent, ate my food, journaled, slept and got up at 6 am in order to be back on the trail as soon as I could see it.  Relentless steep climbs on all types of terrain and many painful descents that caused much knee pain.  Several nights totally alone in the wilderness.  Lots of praying and talking to God out loud.

Rancheria falls is another popular hike in Yosemite. This hike is perfect when looking to find a hike that is not too hard or not too easy. This is a moderate hike that will last from six to eight hours. The hike begins at O’Shaughnessy Dam and ends at Rancheria Falls being about. Since the hike is located in the Hetchy Hetchy Valley, it should be expected that there are many black oaks. During the fall, the black oaks in the trail usually change color to an incredibly bright yellow. The hike will be a quiet peaceful one because it is a valley. The best time to come see Rancheria Falls would be the spring because that is when the waterfall becomes very impactful. There will be many cascades along this hike. Although this hike is very popular

This was my journey to The Death Valley National Park, it was a fun and exciting three days there. Death Valley is located in southeastern California and west of Las Vegas, Nevada. Probably the worst part of the trip was flying, my mom and I hate flying. But after flying we go to the park and the The Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel. Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel is located in the heart of Death Valley with a great spot for families and adventures. This hotel is very popular and has had a lot of good reviews. I see why it had all those good reviews. It was a very good hotel overall. It is home to the Tollhouse Restaurant and Badwater Saloon. This hotel also has a pool which is nice because as it is very hot we can cool down in the pool. Free

One of the main attractions is the nine different waterfalls that are in Yosemite’s National Park, each one plays an important role in the park. The most visited waterfall is the one that lies in the Yosemite Valley but can be seen throughout the park in some places. Some of these waterfalls are the main water source for a variety of animals. Accordingly, if some of these waterfalls were to run dry it could damage the park and it would cause the animals to move to an unfamiliar place or cause the animals and plants to die out of the park.
