Arches National Park Observation Report
Arches National Park is located in Moab, Utah. Not only does it have a wealth of geologic features to explore, but also a plethora of plants and animal life as well. The park offers numerous trails. The northern area of the park starts with the Devils Garden Trail and extends down to the Courtyard Tower region in the south. It doesn’t appear to be very fragmented, only slightly with the Klondike Bluffs veering off to the far left; otherwise it is easy to follow all the park’s attractions. There are adequate amount of campgrounds but I would add more restrooms and picnic areas. Arches doesn’t have any restaurants or lodges anywhere within the park and I would add a few to accommodate for those who do not wish to camp. In addition

    For my study location I chose the Griggs Nature Preserve, most notably Hayden Falls Park. The latitude and longitude of which is 40° 04’05. 12’’N and 83°06’30. 32’’W, with an elevation that ranges between 797 to 758 feet. I chose this location because even though I had only been there once before, but still found it intriguing that such a place untouched my man could exist completely surrounded by concrete and shopping centers. While preparing to explore this landscape I asked myself several questions in hopes of picking an interesting landscape. The…

    In reference to literary movements, naturalism and realism are quite similar but have clear differences to each other. Realism refers to writings that are based off the “real world” and the way a human in the real world would usually live their life. Naturalism is in a way a branch of realism and the stark difference between the two is that literary naturalist deemed that nature – things out of human control – determine humans/characters circumstances.…

    "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" or "A Dead Man's Dream" is a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce. Originally published by The San Francisco Examiner in 1890, it was first collected in Bierce's 1891 book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians. The story, which is set during the Civil War, is famous for its irregular time sequence and twist ending. Bierce's abandonment of strict linear narration in favor of the internal mind of the protagonist is considered an early example of experimentation with stream of consciousness.[1] It is Bierce's most anthologized story.[2]…

    Radiant Red Rock

    One of the most unique and special National Parks to me is Zion in Utah. The Colorado Plateau region lies along the side of Zion. This Park is very beautiful and has many different attributes to it but with out a doubt its red dirt and mountains are wonders. Zion is 229 square miles (147,551 acres) and has around 75 species of mammals, 271 birds, 32 reptiles and amphibians, 8 fish. The rock layers have been through so much; for example, they have been uplifted, tilted, and eroded, forming a feature called the Grand Staircase. This incredible landmark also carries the Virgin River right through it. My experiences at Zion have been only but amazing, I have learned so much and enjoy being surrounded by such a radiant red rock. I have found that this park has much history to still be found. What I have come across to be most interesting at this National Park is the Virgin River, Checkerboard Mesa and the Sedimentation taken place.…

    In the early 20th century many parks and forests were finally getting recognition and being preserved for the future. National parks and forests have been included in society for so long that without them, nothing would really be the same. Most places like this would be a surprising fact to have known about in the 19th- 20th century because most people would talk about urbanization in the big cities. The gilded age took place in the early years of the 20th century which was the period where the U.S. really started the whole economic growth change. It was the age of fast industrialization and urbanization mostly happening in the more factory based cities with not much natural or healthy conditions. Before the gilded age was the progressive era,…
