the Grand Canyon sky view |
For my spring break I not only got to go to Arizona but I got to visit the Grand Canyon! It was AMAZING! It actually loked like a wallpaper, it was so big and dusty! As a bonus though I get to learn about it in science in class!
I guess you could say I got a 'birds- eye -view' of the Grand Canyon because I got to go on a helicopter ride over it! The Grand Canyon is so big! It is really hard to believe a river made it! But while I was up there, I finally got what Mrs. Kurtz was trying to teach us in science. The Colorado plateau is completly and totally flat. Then over time the Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River. So a car could be driving along on a completly flat surface and then fall off a cliff!
The Grand Canyon looks kind of like bumpy roller coaster. You fall off a cliff than climb up a steep piece of the plateau, then fall off again,and so forth.
If you were wondering, we didn't get to see any animals or Native American tribes living in the Grand Canyon! (I know there are animals, but some people including me,still question if any Native Americans live there!) Anyway I'm still disappointed. I wanted to see something cool like a mountain lion !
Well enough about me,and hopefully you can someday see the amazing Grand Canyon like me!
