Colorado

Hello, today I’m going to talk about Colorado. There is a place on a mountain that has summer tubing, so instead of snow tubing, it’s in the summer with no snow. Then we also went white water rafting and the guide that was with us, it was his first family float. I loved getting stuck on rocks and then spinning over them. I loved hitting the waves and going so fast!

One weekend we went to Moab, Utah and took a hummer tour through an area called Hell’s Revenge. Hell’s Revenge is a place where it’s kind of like Arches National Park but it’s a trail that you can drive on with ATVs. We took a hummer tour there and it was super fun, and we were also on our backs while driving up at 50 degree angles — those tires were very strong! One time he stopped at a steep decline and pretended that the brakes had failed, so we took out and went so fast down the mountain while he was talking in the middle of a sentence.

We also did an escape room where you have to solve puzzles and we got out with about 7 minutes remaining. It was so fun! At one of the hotels we stayed at there was a 400 foot water slide. We went down it about 200 times! Near the end of the trip, we stopped at a real gold mine. We got to pan for gold and then took a tour of the mine where we were able to use a chisel out our own pirate’s fool’s gold that had some real gold in it!

That was our fun trip in Colorado.
