Colorado and Utah summer kick-off

At the end of the school year, my family and I took a trip to Colorado and Utah.

One thing that we did was go to an old real gold mine. We went into a cave and we chiseled out our own fake gold with real gold in it!

In Utah we took a hummer tour through the mountains. One time we stopped on a steep hill because the engine “broke” and then he went zooming so fast! Our parents were terrified.

We went on a straight-up hike at Hanging Lake. It was hard and tiring but we are so glad we did it. When we got to the top, my mom, sister, and I went up even higher up the trail where we went behind a waterfall and felt the mist. It was straight-down on the way back.

We also went on a hummer tour of Rocky Mountain National Park where we saw different animals, such as elk and mountain sheep. At the top, the weather changed and it was freezing cold and hailing! It was also storming and we had blankets to keep us warm. We got cold very quickly at each of our stops.
