My Visit to the Utah Parks - Gibson

    In Zion we went to The Narrows hike. The Narrows is where you walk in water that is freezing cold and the water can get really high. Some people take the deepest spot and get the freezing cold water in their bibs. If you walk to the left wall it is not so deep. The water got up to my neck but it did not get in. I had a full body suit but the water came pretty high on my brother and I. The adults had bibs not full body suits. The hike was cool to experience. Your feet got really cold.




Once inside Zion park you get free bus rides to any of their trails. The trails we took were Weeping Rock, and Emerald Pools. Weeping Rock is a rock that water drips off of. The Emerald Pools are 3 pools, called: Upper Pool, Lower Pool, and Middle Pool. The one I liked the most was Upper Pool because it was the biggest.



After Zion park we went to Bryce Canyon. In Bryce Canyon we had to bike to get to our hike. The hike was 3 different trails, and a little too long for me. The trails are called Navajo, Peek a boo, Queen’s Garden and last but not least we ended at Sunset Point.  At the start of Navajo trail we saw a hoodoo that looked like Thor’s Hammer.  The hikes were definitely too long, for me at least. I am not sure about my brother at all. Bryce Canyon was a cool place though.  





    If you plan to go to a lot of US National Parks you should get a pass called America The Beautiful and then you have free access to any National park in the US for 1 year.


THE END

Location: Zion National Park, Utah, USA

The Deep South

      As I mentioned briefly in the last blog, the last few days in Texas we hit up Houston. We took the longer scenic drive towards Galveston, and spent the night on the beach in Seaside before making it to Houston the following day. The drive was so beautiful, aside from the brown water in the ocean. Also, it was way more built up than the Baja. Here, all the houses are on stilts. That sure was a surprise to see. I did love how colorful they all were! I heard from a local that Galveston used to be the biggest city on the east coast way back, and then it was hammered by a storm that flooded it, causing major damage. Since then, they have raised all of Galveston 12 feet, put all the houses up on stilts (building code) and built an extensive sea wall. If anything, the US people will not back down and move their location. They will adapt! I think mother nature always wins, and because of that, this is not a place I would live. But, who am I say. Another thing I asked about ...

Nashville -Wyatt

       Chugging along going through lots of other places we arrived at Nashville. When we got to Nashville mom had already booked us a few different places to go play, see or watch something. In Nashville we went to a trampoline park called Altitude. At Altitude they had a mechanism called Wipeout. The setup for Wipeout was four trampolines in a circle and a big bar that swung around and I had to jump over it. The first time that I went on it, I was wondering how fast it could go. I think that the Wipeout mechanism was fun because if Gibson or I hit it with a part of our body and it stopped, I could push it and it would make it go twice as fast as it normally would. One time when I went to jump over it I jumped too late and my legs got hit by the soft bar and went face first into the trampoline. It felt weird to do a face plant into the trampoline because I had never done one before. Altitude also had a balance beam fighting game. When Gibson and I where fighting, I ...

I Don't Want To Title This - Gibson

  These are some highlights from, Georgia, Nashville, and Kentucky. In Georgia we did a lot, but it was raining most of the while. Georgia is known for its antiquing. We did quite a bit of antiquing. We went to 3 antiquing shops, my Omie would have been all about it. My dad got an old fishing rod to hang in his garage.   I can’t lie Georgia was a pretty cool place. I like antiquing and I loved Georgia very very much. Next I went to Nashville Tennessee. Tennessee brought some more antiquing, but this time my mom got an old, working train light. The train light has red and blue lights.   My mom also bought a ladder and some jars. In Nashville, we went to a professional soccer game, Nashville vs LA. The professional soccer game was pretty cool to see in person.   The stadium was not as big as on TV but it was still big.   The players and goalies are so good compared to my level of soccer.   I liked Kentucky. In Kentucky we met some friends named Liam and ...
