Ecotra Antone & Abbi Dahl GRAND CANYON The first thing we did was hike down part of the Grand Canyon. We went on a bus to go to the hike trail, and started the hike once we got there. We took stops to learn about the Grand Canyon and all the facts it has to hold. We learned that the Grand Canyon has more than 100 different types of layers. One more thing we learned was that the Grand Canyon was not only made by the Colorado River but also made by earthquakes. In the Cnyon there were many slops and cliffs. The Grand Canyon was more than breath taking, it was amazing. Many wild plants grow in the Grand Canyon along the rim. It took the Colorado river 250 million years to make the Grand Canyon today. The second thing we did was go down to the Colorado River and learn about the side rims of the river. The colorado river can be at least 40 ft. deep. When we got on our boats we went really slow at first but after the half way point we went at least to where the frount boat could rise. One place that sounded funny to me was the horse shoe ring. It was in the shape of a horse ring. Along the way we saw people fishing, kanoeing, and taking the same trip as we were taking. We all loved the boat ride. At the mid-way point we stoped and took a little walk to a place where native american painted pictures on a rock. Mrs. Wilkening told everyone that the paintings were stories and that we have to think what the stories were. Then after we came back from the paintings we played and splashed around the water a little bit, then continued the river trip.

The first thing we did. when we got to wupatki, was go to the suite and sit down in a room that where your voice echos, in a normal tone. Even though the wall was rebuilt it was exactily the same. We were all given facts,1) The hopi people lived at the suite, 2) The buildings were 900 yrs old, 3) Even though the buildings were 900yrs old and made out of flat rock it was still pretty amazing. After that we went to the blow hole. We all wanted to know if today sucked or blows. That day it blew. The reason it blew was because of all the pressure under ground.

After we left Wupatki we went to Sunset Crater. We walked arount the whole Crater. Not only is Wupatki a place for the hopi, Sunset Crater is a sacred place for the hopi. There the hopi would take young boys to the crater, and there is where the boys would become men. The crater is all made up of volcanic rock from billions of years ago. Sunset Crater was a great amazing place.
