“Wilderness
is not undiscovered territory; it is a change of heart. –Chip
Rawlins
I believe
that in a way, this statement is true. The wilderness is the
part of nature man has not touched. It is wild, free and part
of the real world. Everything else is controlled, modified,
and destroyed. What man has done is nature, but a different
part of nature. It is trapped.
I have
learned that nature may not only give you unforgetful experiences,
but it can bring a group of people together. Nature opens your
eyes and makes you realize that it is all around you. It makes
you appreciate all the things you have every day.
This experience
has shown me the beauty of the Earth and its right to stay that
way. To help protect it, I can recycle more of my trash. Pick
up any trash I can from the ground. Maybe even talk to people
about my experience.
On
top of Cloud’s rest, 10,000 feet:
Our hike to Cloud’s Rest was awesome. The peak gave us
an amazing view. More people should experience the same things
I did. Hiking may seem like a tedious task, but it makes the
destination that much better. You’ll love the feeling
you get when you realize you just climbed a mountain.
