On the Trail

  

A calm wind ruffles the leaves
A cool breeze brushes the sunkist walls of a canyon
A rumbling creek bubbles over the pebbles
A deer meanders through the meadow
Cubs roughhouse in an open field
And even though I’m away from home
Everything here reminds me of there
Even though the walks are long and tiring
The scenes and beauty are worth every hardship

Sarah

Give me that old worn trail
in the mountains
and I’ll be singin’
my worries away
get me away from civilization

Kat

First day of backpacking. It’s not too hard. We hiked six miles. We had to cross a fair amount of trees. We’re sleeping on granite tonight.

Allison

Today we had the choice of going the short way or going the long way! We all went the long way which is cool cause we put a lot of effort into it. We got to our camp. We’re at 9,000 feet, isn’t it amazing?

Toni

We started up the trail. It was hard climbing up. It rained that afternoon. It rained like mad. We went to sleep early that night.
