Like who found the grand canyon which was jhon westley powell and his crew. we started at the south rim of the gran canyon and worked our way down the canyon rim. As we made our way back to the top we fourtontaly got to learn alot about what types of rocks were there and how they were formed. After we made our way back up we went to see the mules. Then made our desented to page befor we made our way to page we stopped for dinner and souviners. Once we got to Page at like 10:30p.m. we checked into our rooms and went to bed. =



= = = River Trip: = = The next morning we woke up at 6:30a.m. and got ready. Then we left to go to get on the boats to begin our river trip. Once we got there we had to wear helmets and go acrossed a bridge. Once we got acrossed the bidge we were allowed to take the helmets off and get life jackets.The we went to what ever boat we wanted and began the ride, the boat went really slow but i didnt really nottice becaues I was so interesed in the amazing canyon walls which coverd the hole platform to as far as i could see. Along the walls were trees and bushes alond with white brides that looked like trash bags. We sailed along the river for like 30 minutes and then stoped on a beach to go to the bathroom and swim we were on the beach for 45 minutes it was so much fun. Then we made our way to Horse shoe Ben. It was amzing and at the top of the canyon walls were little tiny spects which were people! Then we made our way to point zero of the grand canyon caues the whole time on the river we were not in the grand canyon. Unfortanitaly we were not aloud to cross a little line that leeds into point zero of the grand canyon but we did get to see it so that was cool. Then we got of at a little dock and got changed out of our wet clothe well the students that swam did. Then we got on the bus and ate lunch. After lunch we left for the boulders! = =﻿= = The boulders = = The boulders was like a five minute thing all the buses stoped at ths boulder and took a group picture! =

= Wupatki National Monument: = = At this place we got to see houses that people built over 100,000 years ago. no one has touched this houses sciense everyine who has lived there died. We also got to learn about what they did foe entartainment in this tride which wasnt much alls they really did was play sports. And the last thing we did was see the ball hole were either this hole thing is sucking or blowing. We poored water into it and it was blowing the water shoot up it was an amazing site and very educational. =

= SunSet Crater: = = Last but not least sunset crater this site is a volcano its filled with thousands and thousands of volcanic rocks its amazing and on top of a huge hill is a volcanio with trees all the way up and bark everywhere the sand is grey and dusty its a very cool site we stoped several times to talk about the wonerders and exciments of this monument. We saw super mans cave which is a cave that is filled with ice all year round i never went inside it becaues of the line but i saw inside it and it was very cool looking but the blocked off the passage to get in so no one could do any damage or get hurt but im not sure but maybe it was blocked off for a while!?! =

= __HOME:__ = =home finally we left sunset crater and made our way into Phineox thats were we got dinner. After dinner we drove for like two and a half hours it was fun though we had our own little party in the back of the bu s we were singing and dancing and of course eatting but we did get some pramk calls in. All and all this was a very fun trip and i recomend it for anyone who wants to have fun and face it to get out of school(:!=
