Too much travelling...

April has been a very very very busy month!

The first weekend I went to Death Valley with my geology class...




Spheroidal weathering of granite!



Trona pinnicles



Ubehebe crater and the "Don't fall off the edge" sign



Pretty sand dunes!



Artist's pallete



Natural bridge made by erosion!!!



Devil's Golf Course



Mmmm... playa salt....



Badwater.... The lowest place in the US



Zabriski point...



Devil's Cornfield...



Ending in Mosaic canyon....

Death Valley was super cool. Lots of interesting stops and fun hiking! Good thing it wasn't too hot, the weather was really nice that weekend... Now all that's left is for me to finish my notebook for the class... Ugh... I don't think I should be photoshopping every page... Oh well, it'll look nice at least.

Spring Break was spent in UTAH and ARIZONA!!!!! Whooooo!!!! Zion, Bryce, Pink Coral Sand Dunes, and the GRAND CANYON!!!! I think this might have been one of my favorite spring break trips, and I've been on some cool spring break trips.... Onto the pictures!





Zion, looking from our campsite



22 of us on a bridge before a hike (2 were taking pictures)



Pretty Zion



Looking down on the canyon from the natural arch



Group picture on some sandstone



Red Canyon going into Bryce



There was still snow in Bryce, so we had a snowball fight ^_^



Hoodoos in Bryce!!!



Navajo loop trail



Coral Pink sand dunes at sunset with Sean and Reza walking up one



Rory and Sunny on the sand



Moonrise at the sand dunes



Dino foot vs. person hand



Oh no! The Grand Canyon has been tilted ^_^



Yay for me at the GC!



Bright Angel branch at sunset



A California condor! It was just sitting there, hanging out... We got to see it fly. It was really cool



Some of the group at Walnut Canyon. Indian ruins carved into the cliffs.

Overall, that was one of my all time favorite trips... Hopefully Science Club will do something just as cool in the future ^_^

I'm supposed to be going to Catalina this weekend, but I'm burnt out on trips... That and I need to start working so I'll actually have money -_-

School's been fun too. My first debate tomorrow... I have to argue why illegal immigrants are harmful to the economy... Math quiz tomorrow morning too...

Ooooh, I cut open some geodes today that I got on the GC trip. They're soooo pretty! I'll have to take some pictures.

Now time for sleep ^_^
