The sun vanished behind the arms of the trees as we ventured deeper into the mountains. Miles of vegetation swarmed on the like we were entering a jungle.

Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World, the beach, and the mountains. When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited.

At this part knowing that I am getting closer by the second.

Mountain climbing in Alaska When I hear a person talk about the great state of Alaska, I wonder what he or she would say about it. Is it the endless mountain ranges covered with snow, or could it be the frigid temperatures? The state of Alaska has mountains as far as the eye can see. If you have ever climbed to the top of a mountain, you know how exciting it can be once you have reached the top. Especially, when it is your first experience climbing the face of any mountain and you do not know what
Oregon painting seeming small compared to his typical artworks. Due to the smaller size of the painting, one is lead to believe that he did not have access to the supplies or the desire to create a masterpiece of such grand scale such as The Rocky Mountains, one of his most notable pieces. Bierstadt painted Mt. Hood, Oregon by sketching the location on a canvas and then painting it with oil paint.
