Personal Narrative: Pike's Peak

This hike is a long one the trip up and down if you walk fast can be about an eight-hour hike. We did not have that much experience hiking up anything this enormous besides a hike that was three miles

Pike 's Peak It took four months for the group to reach Pike 's Peak and they reached it in November of 1806, which was later named for the explorer. When they finally did reach it, they were met with waist deep snow and a lack of food. They were also clothed in summer clothes, which meant reaching the top of the summit was likely impossible. For years, it has been believed that Pike didn 't believe that one could reach the top.

As a nine year old boy the ride up was nerve racking enough but boy I didn't know what the ride down would entail. The top of the mountain was beautiful with views that expanded for miles. As I move

We passed the pine forest and then headed more deeply towards the destination. I would say it was a million dollar experience. We had a but of injuries due to some miss timed jumps. Well, all of that was just forgotten when we got up to the

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. Knowing that any person in the world can climb Mount Everest is amazing. In the novel Into Thin Air written by Jon Krakauer, climbers climb to the highest point of the world. Some everyday people like Jon Krakauer, who is an author hired to write an article about Mount Everest for an adventure magazine and Doug Hansen who is a postal worker climbing Mount Everest for the second time.

More than 4,000 people went through the hell of climbing Mount Everest. Even though those many people attempted to climb Mount Everest, more than 290 people have died in the process. For being more than 29,000 feet above sea level, of course, there are many issues that come with it. First, the oxygen becomes thinner and thinner the higher climbers go. Second, the conditions that climbers are being put at are atrocious.

In addition, another perilous situation that can happen climbing Mt. Everest is a great possibility of some people catching hypothermia due to all the exposure to below average and extremely cold temperatures as we know Mt. Everest can be very cold year round, likewise to the Yukon wilderness the main character from the story, “To Build a Fire” is when the main character is warned of how cold it can get in the country, but didn’t listen and laugh at the old man from Sulphur Creek in paragraph 15, but would later realize he should 've taken the old man from Sulphur Creek’s word a little more seriously later in the

Everything happened last summer during vacation. Every year my family plans some wild, adventurous trip, and last year we were going to visit some of the states in the northeastern United States. The trip was going fine until we arrived at the state of New Hampshire. We were going to camp there for a few days, and that was when my parents announced that we were all going to climb Mount Washington. I was not too thrilled by this idea, in fact, I was relatively annoyed.

Do you ever experience daily pressures that don’t seem to go away such as stress, anxiety, or even just nervousness from your job, school, or just life in general? If so you’re not alone it was recorded in 2011 that 22.7% of Canadians 15 and older reported that most days where “quit a bit or even extremely stressful” from daily life activates (Statcan.gc.ca, 2013). I would fit that category most days myself being a university student and a Part time worker with due dates and what seems like never ending bills. I like to use visual escape to relieve my day to day pressures, by visiting many areas in Nanaimo that make me feel more relaxed and ready for the next day. Areas such as Sugar Loaf Mountain, Pipers Lagoon, and Swy-a-lana lagoon offer

The most beautiful thing I have seen is Hemlock Cliffs. I love going there in the summer and winter because it is always beautiful to go explore and find new caves, waterfalls, and paths. In the summer if you go there, there are many sites to see and adventure in! My dad and I are the only ones who usually go, so we don’t go in many caves, but when we do, they are amazing! Hemlock Cliffs has many paths to venture off in, so you want to stay with an adult the whole time.

My first time I went to Tuacahn I got to see Newsies and Shrek. Tuachan is an Amphitheater in the mountains , where the scenery is really beautiful that time of year. It was so magical and hot , really hot. So the trip from Idaho to St. George it takes about seven and a half hours to get there longest car trip ever , not really the trip to Canada is so much longer , anyway it is super long unless you are listening to music, my family loves music so much if we could sit in a car listening to music twenty-four seven we totally would. When we found out we were going to see Newsies and Shrek we listened to the music over and over and over again .

I actually did find a rather large waterfall on the trip; that was not an exaggeration. I described this waterfall as a “godsend” and a “prize”, because after hiking for so long on this excursion we finally found something worthwhile. I remember hitting a second wind of sorts; the waterfall satisfied my hunger for adventure and

Deciding on my favorite part of the trip was part so I had to choose my top two. My first would have to be arriving to Yosemite falls and the story of the 2006 landslide that hit the road. My favorite part of arriving to Yosemite falls was the fact that we had to work for it. The incline was not my favorite part and it was quite hot. At one instance I asked myself if it was really worth it

The entire day had been a struggle as we slipped on the various rocks underneath our feet as we made our way up Mt. Phillips. Every ten minutes our Scoutmaster, Mr. Britton, would gleefully shout, and “Come on boys, just a little more climbing and we will be at the top.” Although I wanted to believe him, I was running out of energy. This was the most difficult challenge I had ever faced in my seventeen years of life

They would have to have a lot of oxygen because not only do they have to climb the mountain, they have to make their way down safely. And so, they would be tired and may have ran low on oxygen already. There are also icy slopes that they may have struggled up of the death zone, the part of the climb above 26,247 feet where the last camp before the summit is located. The problem had been worse by the large number of climbers who want to meet their goal on climbing Everest. Climbing season lasts for about two months and when the winds on the mountain are not as powerful as during the rest of the year, climbers need to leave the last camp by late morning.
