Personal Narrative: My Trip To Yellowstone National Park
Did you ever do something that you thought was going to be boring and not fun, but you turned out to loved it? I know that this has happened to my owner many times. One of my fonder memories of her is when she went to Yellowstone National Park. She had a great time and found out something about herself that even she didn’t know and I got sweet revenge.

You might be wondering who I am and I want you to guess. I am black with a pick check mark. I’m also super fashionable and put all other shoes to shame. If you guessed shoes then you are correct, I am her tennis shoes. I have gone many places with my owner and she loves me and wears me everywhere. So it would make sense that I would be the one to tell you this story.

It began when she went to Yellowstone and saw some geysers. It was amazing and while we were halfway through I spotted a sign and walked my owner over to it. The sign said that there was a

I tried to stop them by planting myself into the ground, but it didn’t work. Those shoes of her parents were laughing their tiny toe caps off, but I kept my cool; they’re not gonna be the ones with the last laugh. I strut down the hill, going back to the geysers. It was sad to leave the enchanting rapids in the middle of the forest, but my owner took many pictures, so I could always look at its beauty. As we reach the car, I got an idea.

We waited for my owner's parents to come and when they were talking to each other, I ran and splashed into a puddle right next to them. It didn’t hurt her parents in any way, but seeing those smiles wiped off those shoes made me stand taller. They now know not to mess with my owner or me in anyway. So, in the beginning, I was skeptical about this whole “Amazing Trip to Yellowstone”, but I found out that I did really enjoy it. The geysers, the waterfalls, the family time, this made the trip so much more enjoyable for all of us(20). So maybe this trip was worth all 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…

    So we decided to go find somewhere to park the boat for lunch. Eventually we found this really cool cave that had plenty of room to put the boat under, and we got out the sandwich stuff. It’s kind of a tradition we have to have sandwiches when we go boating or snowmobiling. So we got out the bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, meat, and pickles along with the fruit salad, and Powerades. After I had finished eating I got bored and decided to go for a swim, so I cannon balled in, and the water was even warmer inside of the cave! I just laid back on my lifejacket and floated, it was so…

    “How are you feeling right now?” My father asked, I replied, “Excited.” This was in fact, an understatement. I had never seen or been to a natural reservation so highly known as the Grand Canyon. I have always been the type of person who enjoyed going camping or staying outside, appreciating the presence of nature. It was great news to hear. After weeks of planning, our family was on the road heading out to the Grand Canyon. After each hour, the lands we were crossing seemed to become more absent from human civilization. The expanding rocky prairie whizzed pass the car windows and reminded us of the purity of the land. Soon enough, we made it into Arizona, and then, finally, our destination.…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    Hey guys! Today I went on a crazy adventure to somewhere I have never been before! I flowed down a cascade mountain range and into the amazing and beautiful Columbia river.My friends I met in the mountains and are now headed to the mouth/ delta of the river the Pacific ocean where we will hopefully be evaporated again.We just exited the headwaters and will be entering some tributaries along our journey. Although, this river doesn’t have many dangers I am concerned of entering a creek because I like going straight to the ocean to be evaporated again because water droplets like me love to travel! This has been a pretty easy journey so far but I have got to say I have been a bit chilly. The weather down here has been around 25-30 degrees so that…

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    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…

    Over the summer, my parents and I took a rousing vacation to Northern Alaska. As a young girl, I always yearned to visit Alaska and viewing its vast mountain range and nonpareil wildlife. As there wasn’t much opportunity to see that in the monotonous New Jersey. I have always considered hiking and viewing natural pulchritude as a form of merriment. Case in point, my father and I hiked in the Grand Canyon, approximately three years ago , feeling like diminutive ants astray in the colossal canyon. Likewise, last year my parents and I hiked the foothills of Yellow Stone National Park, our shoes strewed with desiccated sand that were deprived of water. We missed the gargantuan canyon and the repugnant odor of sulfur from the geysers. I immensely enjoyed the hiking we did in Alaska. Nevertheless, what caused me to be aghast in reverence occurred near the beginning of the 2nd day of my trip. As an illustration, my parents and I were traipsing in front of our cottage early…

    One hot summer evening in June, my family and I decided to go on a camping trip to Bluestone State Park. We would be staying in a cabin, out in the middle of the woods in the park, for a whole full week. During this week, my family and I would be doing various things such as hiking, fishing, biking, and spending time on the lake. I had never been this excited to go on a trip with my family. The last place we went, Myrtle Beach, I ended up deathly sick and had to go to the hospital. However, I knew this trip was going to be amazing. The sun was shining, it was not too hot or too cold, and it was not muddy or too dry. My sister, Holly, who is not a big fan on going camping, was actually excited to go, for once, even though she was not over her sickness. We would be leaving around six in the morning and neither one of us could sleep. What in the world was we supposed to do this late at night. It was a little over three hours away, and there are lots of activities to do before we got there.…
