Hiking Trip
It was a bright Saturday morning. The sun was rising above the horizon in the east, flashing a brilliant spark of yellow and red light in the blue sky. There was no sign of a bad weather, a perfect day for a thrilling expedition. Rina had planned this hiking trip since last month. At eleven o’clock sharp, Rina and her friends began their adventure to see the scenery at the waterfall with their own eyes. It is said to be extraordinarily marvelous.
They had gone for many mountain climbing before. It was very challenging, but hard work pays off. So, they were absolutely sure they won’t have any trouble climbing the hill. They were now deep in the heart of the jungle. It had almost been three hours hike. The sun was right above their heads and the sun shone without mercy. It was baking hot and their shirts were wet with sweats. The waterfall was nowhere to be seen. Tired, they decided to take a few minutes rest.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of rapidly running water. The waterfall is definitely just around the corner. Without leaving another second wasted, they continued their hike. They talked and laughed happily with overwhelming joy. Then, there it was, their dream waterfall, right in front of them. They walked and climbed carefully on the steep slope because taking the wrong step would probably cost them their life.
Finally, they manage to stand triumphantly on the top of the hill. The magnificent beauty of nature left them speechless. They took many photographs of the crystal-clear water flowing rapidly down the waterfall. It was much more beautiful than they had imagined. The universe created by God is unmatched and unrivaled. They lost track of time, admiring the panoramic view of Mother Nature.
It is almost evening. The intense red and orange hues of the sky were reflected into the water, making it more stunningly beautiful than before. They were mesmerized and stunned. Can any other sight be more impressive than this? They wished they could stay

    He had finally arrived at the top of the mountain, it was a flat pasture fill with green grass and a calm river flowing with water.

    You have been doing the same climb for years. Scraping your knees on rocks, pulling through the brush. This was your favorite time to do it. Right as the sun was kissing the horizon of the sea, and the sky begin to let go of the night. It is colder than usual today, but you don't mind. The salty air pulls you forward motivating you with its sharp breath. As you come to the top of the cliff, you begin to see the glassy ocean lazily lapping upon a silver beach that seems to come out of a long, jagged cliff that disappears into the sea. You take a deep breath in and close your eyes, letting your imagination run wild. When you open them, the same familiar scenery fills your vision. You watch as an Osprey circles down the side of the cliff, and then it disappears into its jagged side.…

    Looking down at my predicament, I saw a steep vertical drop that led into a crystal clear river that flowed between two main opposing canyon slopes. Everything below comprised of layered rocks, cliffs, hills, and valleys, with the occasional hint of green pine trees and plenty of bushes. The air was rich and clear at the same time. A subtle, cool breeze grazed through my thick wolley jacket and reminded me of the potential coldness of mountain weather. The sun brightened at that very moment and heated my cold body. Soon, the sun light spread throughout all of the rocky lands and gave everything a red-orange hue. “Wow what is that!?” my cousin exclaimed. Everyone turned their heads upward. Far into the clear blue sky, a pair of eagles gracefully maneuvered around a puffy white…

    This photograph captures the notion how waterfalls are timeless. You can stare the falls for hours, and every moment feels like the last. As the water transcends down as captured by the photograph, a setting of Zen is created in essence. The photograph, captured in black and white, is contrasted in order to emphasize certain aspects of the picture and to draw in anyone who lays their eyes on it. Furthermore, the photograph’s size does not represent its vastness. As I mentioned before, an observer cannot understand the impact of Niagara Falls unless they view it in person. But, I feel if the picture were blown up, it would only help how powerful the image of the falls is.…

    One morning, we decided to go out with some of the guests from the hostel for a hike along the hills by the seashore. These hills were covered in thick blades of grass but had rock faces that were pointed out towards the water. If you looked to your left you’d see these hills go for miles; mound after mound, circular shaped huts with cone shaped roofs sitting on top. African trees as well, looking as if the wind was blowing all the branches to one side of the trunk but they stood absolutely still; frozen in time. To your right you’d see the ocean go out for as far as you can see, while standing on a cliff with an almost vertical drop. From looking at the cliffs from the sides, it showed the many trails descending down the cliffs made by mountain goats and every once and a while you could see one half way down; climbing up. Although our surroundings were incredible, the heat was as well. We went through several bottles of water through-out the hike. Our leader, an African local, lead us down one of the more climbable hills to the ocean floor where it was covered in rock. With the sun beating down on us we felt trapped because we couldn’t swim in the water, the waves were too strong we’d be thrown up against the rocks.…

    So it began, and the two men hiked side by side through the rough terrain. Words and laughter traveled through the wind every so often, but it was mostly the company of another person that kept each man hopeful. The day grew old and the sun sank into the horizon. Stars poked little twinkling holes into the dark blue sky above Mount Kilimanjaro. Two miles until a rest break seemed like a lifetime to Francis, but he remained motivated by Nick climbing over rocks and through the patches of snow. In the distance large boulders lay stacked one by one on top of eachother like an enormous wall keeping them from getting further up the…

    When we came to the base off the mountain where we would learn the basic instructions for zip lining I wasn't sure I was ready. As we walked through the all-round wood building that creaked beneath our feet, the nerves hit. The fast paced stream that ran by the building matched my racing pulse. Water skimmed over the rocks creating a constant clean cover as it made it journey down. I hoped, maybe the calming sound of the stream would calm my nerves, that didn't happen. It was time to drive up to the top of the mountain to begin the downward…

    The entrance beckoned our arrival with a musty damp scent from years of still life in darkness. We had explored this mine a few times before and found it to be the biggest one accessible to adventurers like us needing to fulfill our desire of adrenalin brought on by the many aspects of danger that lie within. Coda led the way and I carefully ducted through the low overhead opening of rock and stone that was the entry to the bowels of this mountain. The feeling of the cool damp air on my exposed skin ran a shiver down my spine as I moved forward leaving the morning sun and safety of the outside world behind. The sound of crushed rocks under our feet echoed off the solid stone walls stretching far into the distance before fading away in silence. After about 200 feet the…

    We started hiking west following the trail that would take us to our goal, the air kept getting thinner and thinner as we gained altitude, and my heartbeat started to go up. After 2 hours of walking uphill we decided to take a break to eat some fruit and nuts, and drink some water. We had arrived to a split point of the trail, the left path would take us through the rocky part of the peak, were we would have to climb huge boulders, walk by high cliffs and narrow trails. One of them was called “el…
