USA National Parks

While we were in Arizona and Utah we have been to a lot of national parks. I’ve been getting quite a few Junior Ranger badges – in fact, I earned my 10th badge today!

Horseshoe Bend

Grand Canyon North Rim

We went to the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. When we hiked into the canyon we were so high up at over 2500 metres (8000 feet) I felt short of oxygen.

Bryce Canyon

At Bryce Canyon we did an 8 km (5 mille) hike around the rim, then our hike plunged us deep into the canyon. Down in the canyon we went through a slot-canyon and saw lots of rock formations called hoodoos, which are like the pinnacles, just more bumpy.

Arches

In Arches National Park, my favourite arch was double-O arch. To get to double-O arch I had to scramble on boulders and thin rock ridge lines.

I’ve really enjoyed collecting all of these Junior Ranger badges from the National Parks. My favourite one was Dinosaur, but that’s another story….

  3. Oh Daniel, We love these. We think they are the best so far. WE can’t wait to hear about the Dinosaur Ranger badge. Axel thinks you could share some of your ranger skills in class and to help bring harmony and peace. Liam says, Could you teach us how to be a ranger?

    Looking forward to the next instalment-when you will probably be with us, as we go on holiday tomorrow.

    I’ll keep checking in though. Hi to Mum and Dad. Haere ra Ginny and Room 2
