BEN AND CORBYN'S PHOTO JOURNAL South kaibab trail The south kaibab trail is a beautiful trail filled with sightseeing for a lifetime. What we did was take about a mile hike down the switchbacks. It was a fun and educational hike filled with glorious sites. Most people don't know is that some of the rocks and walls the canyon have were because of being submerged under the ocean. The place was great as it was beautiful!



This is some of the algae/moss that has formed a hybrid between the two over the years from when it was under the ocean.



Some of the gorgeous scenery that drives millions of people here a year. media type="file" key="benc5 082.MOV" width="300" height="300"

The colorado river trip

media type="file" key="bcvid 218.MOV" width="144" height="411" what this place is, is the colorado river that takes us through some of the canyons,what we did is we hopped on a homeland a security bus that took us through a two mile tunnel which was really cool then we loaded up on boats and take a two hour trip down the river. Some cool facts are that the blackish brown stuff you see on the walls are called desert varnish which is the metal in the rocks got oxidized leaving a rustic patina.

Wupatki National Monument



Wupatki is an ancient town or village of indigenous people that use to live there. We are not exactly sure why they left in such a hurry because they left all of their valuables behind. But besides the fact there are still buildings and houses of theirs left that and are about 700 years old and still standing. But in my opinion the most scientific and by far the most interesting thing there is the blow hole. Yes a blow hole that blows and sucks air depending on the bariatric pressure. If the pressure is higher above ground then it will suck air. But if the pressure under ground is higher it will blow like it was when we were there. The blowing was so powerful that it pushed falling water up like a little geiser it was so strong we put a binder over the hole and it made the binder levitate almost.



Sunset Crater

Sunset Crater is a very unique place that i never thought i would find in Arizona. What we did is we took a hike close to the base of the volcanoe and right on top of the lava tubes and lava rocks. We learned that this volcanoe erupted in 1040. And was a cinder cone volcanoe meaning it had devastating effects, such as a destruction of all plants in five miles with an 800 foot high fire ball. One thing that i did not think would be at the base of a volcanoe is an ice cave that is in a lava tube that the Native Americans use as a holy ground for ceremonies. All around it is a great place with geological and scientific knowledge pouring out of the whole place.

So if you ever get the chance to go to these places DO IT !!!!!!!
