King's Canyon
The Garden of Eden Waterhole

The Kings Canyon is a marvellous place to be. When we were there we did the Canyon walk which starts with ‘heart attack hill.’ It had a steep incline but when you were on the top the rest of the walk was relatively easy.

The steep sandstone cliffs of the canyon are 270m high and from the top we could see the lush trees and greenery and waterholes at the bottom. We also did the “Garden of Eden” walk at the bottom of the canyon, where we swam in the cold water hole which was next to those towering rocks down hovering over our heads. The beauty of Kings Canyon was the red sandstone and the height of the rock walls from which you could see a great

    Yucca Mountain. Just a mountain you may think, but not just any mountain. A mountain that our Congressmen decided would be a great repository storage facility for spent nuclear reactor fuel and other radioactive waste. 196 billion dollars were spent towards this project. Back in 1987, this project was the ideal project to store radioactive waste. As the 1990’s and 2000’s crept in, Nevada’s residents were against this idea big time. Funding for the Yucca Mountain Repository was discontinued by Congress in February 2010. I disagree with this discontinuation.…

Diversity is the most important feature of the vegetation found within Chino Hills State Park. Also the park has several different kinds of vegetation in each of its major habitats. In the park’s creek zones, cattail stands provide habitat for a variety of wildlife, among them red-winged blackbirds. Over the centuries many people have made use of the open spaces and plentiful water, plant and animal resources of the Chino Hills. Prior to European contact, the Gabrielino Indians, who lived along the Santa Ana River basin, set up temporary camps for gathering acorns, elderberries, walnuts and other seeds. After the Spanish founded Mission San Gabriel in 1771, the Chino Hills were used extensively for grazing by mission cattle. During the Mexican Republic era, the hills were used as spillover grazing from such surrounding Mexican ranchos as Santa Ana del Chino and La Sierra Yorba. After Mexico ceded California to the United States in 1848, the land was still used primarily for grazing. In 1984 the State Park and Recreation Commission officially declared the area a unit of the State Park…

    I am going to use granite, concrete, and brick in the Grand Canyon monument to honor early explorers. I am choosing these items because I think these are some of the most high quality materials. I would like to build this monument very well, so that it will last for years and years. I also want to build this monument well because the early explorers worked very hard to do everything they could for the Grand Canyon, and I would like to honor them. Many people may have thought that everyone always knew about the Grand Canyon, or maybe they don’t care at all about the explorers of the Grand Canyon. Hopefully, this will influence people’s thoughts in a good way. For example, they could know people who need to be honored, so this monument will remind…

    According to Sid Perkins, an earth science writer, the canyons deepest parts are 1.7 billion years old and the Canyon its self only40 million years old. The canyon shows off many layers of limestone that each have a unique story, “Thick bands of limestone speak of lengthy eras spent beneath broad, shallow seas or still, clear lakes. Beds of lava and ash recount episodes of widespread volcanic activity.Other layers of rock show that this grand swath of real estate has also been home to coastal mudflats and windblown sands (Perkins, “Making”)”. These layers can be measured and told apart by mammillaris, which are lumps of carbonate minerals. These lumps mark the level of the local water table (Perkins, “Parts”). Another piece of data that may help us determine when the canyon began to form is locked in a layer of limestone filled with algae and sediments that thrive in only fresh water lakes. This ‘Muddy Creek Formation’ has been aged with radioactive dating, which puts it between 6 and 11 million years old. This theory that the river could not have been carving the canyon while a lake was present was presented by Richard Young a geologist at the State University of New York (Perkins,…
