the 4 corners
I went to Arizon last summer for the completeion of Girl Scouts. My best friend, Laura, finished the year before me. we didnt do anything for her. we decide that when i was finished we would go on a trip. Well, of course my mom and her mom had to come. it was fun with them even though they are alittle a annoying. Laura and i decided to go to the 4 states in the united states that are all touching together, also known as the 4 corners. they are arizona, coloardo, new mexico, and utah. we went for about a week and a half. it was one of the best trips i have ever had in my life. we rode an airplane that took us forever to get to utah. once we got there it was a wonderful state. we drove to go see the hoover damn. that damn did not seem long at all, but when you look down it. man, it feels like you are looking down from the eiffel tower. the rocks that are around it are so pretty and you can tell how far the river has shrunk in the past years. we left there and took and river ride down the coloardo river. talk about scary. the waves were huge for such a river. the river was about 3 times as wide as the roads here. we learned alot of facts about the indain tribes that lived around the river. when we got out of the river we had to take a helicopter back to where we came from. the next few days we traveled to the great grand canyon. oh my goodness. we rode a helicopter to see it, and i sware i almost had a heart attack went we went over it. it was the most beautiful landscape i have ever seen before in my life. the rocks that was around it made little pictures of things. like there was animals, ships and many more. we did alot of other things like drove through some of the canyon, we also went to the landscape that was in alot of movies. i can not remember the name, so if you know tell me. it was a place where the rocks that was hundred of miles high stood for decades. i know that the movie "wild wild west" was made there, well some of it. we also drove and wlk through many national parks in the 4 states. last but not least, we went to the marking where utah, arizona, new mexico, and colaordo joined. i can actually say that i was in 4 states at once. haha!
