Crescent Trail, it started by walking through a forest, which felt good because I was away from the hot sun. I could hear birds chirping and animals scurrying. The environment was calm and peaceful as I was walking through the forest area. I thought about how different the trail was than walking in a public place such as a mall or a school hallway in between periods. It was nice to be away from things made by humans and to only be around things from nature. As I was walking down the the trail I noticed

Is hiking the Appalachian Trail right for you? 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

laugh and a good time. Although it’s important to take vacations and trips with my family, we should remember to be safe and smart, have a good time, and make vacations memorable. We were on our way to a park called Turkey Run, in Indiana, with trails, a water park and picnic areas. We stopped at a gas station with lots of treats and a McDonalds with a Play Place. At the time, my sister and I loved to play in the jungle gyms after we ate at McDonalds. The vehicle that we drove down to the park

It was like mini waterfalls, the water was smooth sounding the rocks felt smooth, and we sat there catch our breathe. We got up and began to walk again, it was so long of a walk we thought we were lost, luckily a guy with a walking sticks and hiker bag passed up, we asked him "Do you know where Foushee's Mill is ?", he pointed in a direction and said if we kept walking that way we would find it.  We were almost

Imagine you are hiking down a trail that you have gone down many times before when all of the sudden an avalanche starts coming down from the side of the mountain. A bolder hits your leg and it is now trapped under this rock formation with no way of escape. Your mind flashes back to this morning over breakfast when you decided to go on this hike but thought, not telling anyone about your whereabouts was a good decision. The importance of communicating where you plan to hike and when you are going

Continuing down the trail looking for footprints, I began to feel heaviness in my chest, followed immediately with breathing difficultly. A sense of panic was accompanied by an intense feeling that I needed to leave immediately. As my eyes started watering, I recognized the phenomenon that was occurring. According to my research, the Bigfoot possess an ability to make a person feel panicked using infrasound. With this knowledge, I stood my ground, speaking the following loud: “You are not going to

Hiking Up Johnson’s Peak Have you ever been to the best camp EVER, which is obviously CGS? Well, if you haven’t you have to go, especially if you like nature! My favorite part was hiking up Johnson’s Peak. The naturalists that went with us were very nice, and they knew every single answer to every single question someone had. Additionally, when we looked for fossils if we couldn’t find any they helped us find some. Their names were Carolyn, Joelle, and Scott. When we were hiking up Johnson’s Peak

I will ride my ATV through the trails and see what I can see and hear and see what changes when there is no motorized vehicle running.

I will be going to Alabama for the ATV trails I am riding on

Arizona temps reach 100 degrees, it offers an escape to Sedona’s refreshing creeks and “cooler” weather. Like I said earlier though, there’s a lot of foot traffic and a lot of unprepared folks on the trail. I remember stopping three times to give people water.
