MARY LOWRY'S JOURNAL. I worked on this alone.  - Looking straight down into the -Also, looking from the top of the Canyon, down. Canyon from the very top .  The Grand Canyon: The Grand Canyon is Arizona’s most visited Monument. The Canyon consisted of various minerals and colors in the natural rock. The first thing we did when we got to the Canyon, we took a 7 mile hike down into the Canyon, and then back up. After that, we walked to the South rim and took some notes and more pictures. We heard history about the Canyon as we walked down the trail and visited the rim. The south rim straight down measure 7,000 ft. of elevation. Throughout the Canyon you can see many shell fossils from when the water reached that point. I loved everything about the Grand Canyon. It was very beautiful, and when you would look into the distance, it would seem like you were looking at a painting.  -Looking forward when we first entered the -Looking at the walls in the Canyon.

Throughout the entire raft trip there were barely any rapids, a very smooth ride. The river was covered with tall natural rock walls. It consisted of many trails that the Indians built before Americans came. Along the trip we stopped frequently to check out rock formations, trails, and Indian petro glyphs. Toward the middle of the trip we stopped and took a thirty minute break on a miniature beach. I really like the raft ride and the Canyon itself. I also liked how smooth the raft ride was with barely any rapids.  -This is a house that Hopi Indians lived in. They built this entirely by themselves. <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 22pt; line-height: 115%;">Wupatki: <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Wupatki National Monument was all about the Hopi Indians, and how they lived there. We toured the entire site as a group, and stopped to take pictures and were told about its history. The leader told us how they lasted out there, how they grew, and what they used to build their houses. Wupatki mostly consisted of the main building, (as shown in the picture above) the Keva, and a ball court. The Keva was a circular built place where they would have ceremonies and get-togethers. The “ball court” is where they would play with a ball made out of animal skin; they would usually use this for ceremonial battles, or just to have fun. I liked this place because it showed me how Indians lived and how they didn’t need construction people to build things. <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">-The trails made entirely out of -Sunset Crater itself. -A tree that got struck by lightning <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Volcanic rock. and started growing process over again. <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 22pt; line-height: 115%;">Sunset Crater: <span style="font-family: 'Dotum','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As you would look everywhere around Sunset Crater you would see various volcanoes, and trails made out of only volcanic rock. (As shown in the picture above). We went on a walk down the trail; we stopped frequently to learn how all of the volcanic rock got there, etc. We were told about Sunset Crater and how it could erupt. I liked Sunset Crater because of how much volcanic rock there was, and how you could see different sediment in the sand on the crater. I personally enjoyed seeing the tree that got struck by lightning, then started growing all over again, repeating the process.
