My trip to Yellowstone National Park - A short Memoir
It was nice sunny day in Los Angeles. It seemed like a pretty normal day but to me and my family, it was the start of my biggest adventure. We were all very excited. “Can you believe it, were actually going to Yellowstone National Park!” my sister said. “Yea, it’s pretty cool”, I replied. “Get in the motor home!” my father shouted. We all hopped in. My father started up the engine and we hit the road.

It was long way. We would have to travel north-east for more than a thousand miles. At first we were in city. Soon we reached San Bernardino. After that the city slowly blended into the desert until there was no city at all. There was only a barren desert and the 15 North Highway. We were to pass a great amount of cities on our trip. Many very large while others just small towns. We passed through many small towns in California.

Then we reached Nevada. We pulled over to take pictures with the “Welcome to Nevada” sign. Nevada was very hot. We passed through a whole bunch of small towns. All of them had a few big hotel/casinos. So we kept on going North-East till we reached Las Vegas. It was awesome! Even in the dark the whole city was lighted with colored lights. Las Vegas is the most populous city in Nevada. With a metro population of nearly two-million it is a pretty big city. But we didn’t stay long. We had a long way in front of us.

We kept heading north-east. Just traveling was fun. We went through the north-west corner of Arizona. There I saw the most beautiful mountain scenery that I had ever seen. It was awesome! The mountains were all different shapes and colors.

Then we passed into Utah. The mountains smoothed out to become a great plateau. Then we reached St. George. With a population of almost one-hundred-thousand, it is the seventh largest city in Utah. Utah’s weather was not very hot. It is a very clean and beautiful state. We kept on our path till we reached The Great Salt Lake, and the city on its shore, Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is the

    Today I left for Yosemite with my friends and our parents. It took us about 5 hours to get to get there. We took about 10 stops on the way. When we arrived I popped open the trailer and too a nice long nap because we got up at 3 am and left at 4 am. After my nap I met up with a couple of friends who were also staying in the campsites next to us who were also taking naps . We went hiking to Yosemite Falls with a guide to watch the water flow down. It was beautiful and there was a sunset which made it even prettier. Our guide who led us there told us we should make a list to follow every day we were staying. We asked what were the greatest thing to see. He said Half Dome, Ansel Adams Gallery Tuolumne Meadows, Mist Trail and Vernal Fall,Glacier…

    The main topic the second section; place matters, is the reasons why something as simple as your street address can be an influential predictor on your health. Within this section of the movie there were three arguments; the first consists of two direct causes of impact on residents’ health, which were; built space and social environment. The next was how the conditions of neighborhoods have an indirect impact on health by making healthy choices either unreachable, extremely hard, or easy.

The diminishing neighborhoods caused little access to job opportunities,…

    Everyone has their own community or organization for which they belong to. Within that community you tend to find who you are and what you are about. For me I found my identity in being an outdoors man. Being an outdoors man at my young age seems to be rare at this day, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing something I love and appreciate. Growing up with my family full of avid outdoors men helped influence me and only made my identity stronger.…

    As a student I find myself seated in front of a computer screen for long hours at a time; likewise, it is my obligation as a student to use technology as a resource to further my comprehension in my degree. In my opinion a good excuse to be seated in front of a computer for long hours. It is easy to say that I find a lot of inspiration form online sources, blogs, and social media – which I do – however, I feel most inspired when I step away from the computer screen. I find inspiration in the ordinary; I love to travel and see new things, in this case this is where I found my inspiration. Along my travels to Whistler Mountain in previous winters I saw a portion of land that was clear-cut, but one tree stood alone covered in snow. This piece…

    Not in the aspect people living there, but the place that gets the most attention from tourists and people in general. I can not necessarily remember the place we went , but it was beautiful. It looked just like Venice on the inside or at least what I thought it would have been like. I had never seen something with so much attention to detail of this magnitude. The place was virtually a shopping mall as well, but it didn't seem like a mall. It was like you were in a small town with different stores around. I was just amazed at something for probably the first time in my life. It was such a huge place purely for the cause of entertainment and business. It didn't have to be anywhere near as monumental and detailed to bring people. Just being in las Vegas on the strip and having the stores it had would draw people in. It was just how much it meant to them, and their pride in Las Vegas. They spared no expenses in their…

This story, however, isn’t one of those traditional stories; this one involves a day that had been exciting up to that point already. The memory that resonates daily throughout my mind would have to be the time when I went to Six Flags for the first time in my life.

    I’ve always wanted to be good at something. Writing isn’t one of them. Hiking however, let’s say I’m confident that I hover somewhere above the line of Intermediate. Good enough to survive high elevation glacier treks and overnighters at least. As a hobby or extracurricular activity, it’s probably my biggest passion. So much that I found that writing of them is like having the opportunity to do each one over again. Once upon a time I set forth a book project, a story telling, you might say, of all my treks including the ascent of five mountains. However, I lacked the confidence of presenting a way to share my stories of me being the key subject. Eventually the project lost steam and fell to the wayside. Even so, I enjoyed reliving each one while writing of them, and, I continued to set goals and hike. Putting myself out there in high open meadows or deep forest of the Cascades has given me a fresh perspective of my everyday world. Forget about football, baseball or sports in general. Forget about housework, yard work or for that matter work itself. Actually, my accommodating career generously facilitated this hobby that at times takes ample time and expense. Therefore, we can’t forget about work. Nonetheless, the introduction to hiking has gotten me off the couch and into the…
