🦔 Junior Ranger Program

 Whats a fun and free way to help you remember your trips??

We have it and it's a good way to remember our trips and to get a fun memento. We


do the Junior ranger program, for State and National Parks / monuments. I love to do them.

To do  the Junior ranger you need to get the booklets from the visitor center. The books are 10 to 20 pages long and you complete a certain amount of it depending on your age. When you finish your book you turn it in and go over it with a ranger,  once done the ranger will swear you in and give you a badge or a patch. 

Some times Mom can per print them at home to give us more time to do them, but some times we have to wait to get them at the park. I like the books  because they tell you about the history, environment, animals and  fun facts about the park.

 We have 35 badges so far. My favorite badge is the  Great basin dark sky  patch, I  like the  design on it alot. 

Some of the badges are plastic and some are wooden. We flip the wooden ones over so we can stamp them with the date and park entrance stamp. 


We display all of our badges and patches on ribbion hanging on the wall. We each have different color ribbons, I have purple, MJ has orange, SP has blue, and ET has green.

If you don't do this  program already you should start your missing out. Also you can do the program at any age.

🔥🦔The Seven Wonders and Fire Wave Loop🔥

Image
Hey, JJ here we are at Valley of Fire State Park. We have been here for almost a week. I am going to tell you about a really cool trail that we did . It was the 7 wounders and fire wave loop trail. It's 2.3 miles long It  was really cool.  Just a little ways down the trail there was a really cool wave of color on the rock. The colors were white, red, purple, and a lot more. Then we arrived at some small slot canyons . We did poses where our hands are on one side and our feet are on the other side. I was on top SP was under me MJ was under him and ET was on the ground. Farther down the trail there is the fire wave. It is all red with white  stripes. I didnt like it as much as the first wave because it didnt have as many colors.(see picture)   I thought the trail was really fun, I would definitely do it again.  JJ

🦔Dantes Peak & Zabriskies Point

Dantes peak sunset Have you ever watched the sunset before? Have you ever watched the full moon rise before? What about at the same time? We were lucky enough to do this.  The sun set Dantes Peak On our Last trip to Death Valley we did a hike called Dantes peak to see the  sunset and the full moon rise.  Sun set - Bad Water's below First off we had to drive up as high as we could. The road was pretty steep at a 15% grade. Once we made it to the top and parked, we walked all around to see the different views. We saw some really cool views of Bad Water's salt flats. Than we hiked up the mountain to the highest peak to find a spot to watch the sunset. The salt flats look so big from where we were. We found the perfect spot overlooking the flats . I found the perfect rock to sit on to watch the sunset in the West and the full moon rise in the East.The sunset was so pretty. It was really neat to watch the last rays of the sun set. We thought it would be dark after the sun went...
