Our first stop was the Lewis & Clark State Park, there we collected rocks and sorted them into group. Once our groups had finished sorting rocks we got to tell everyone how we sorted them.After that we got to talk about how we tought the rocks got there. One of my favorite rocks was green, smooth, and had spots.
Our next stop was the Women's Forum on the Columbia River Highway, there we drew a picture of what we saw. Then Dave the scientist talked with us about how there were big cracks in the earth in eastern Oregon and Idaho, and lava was just flowing out and that is were all of the basalt in the Columbia River Gorge came from. Then we drove up near the Vista house.
Then we went to LatourellFalls, there we took a hike and got to see the falls. Then we walked a bit further and took a rest and ate lunch. It was amazing to see how long the waterfall was,and how slippery the rocks were. I also was amazed to see how hard the water hit the bottom.
Then our last stop was Rocky Butte and looked around for landmarks, then we got to lay down in the grass and look up at the sky. Then after that we went back to school and talked about what a great time we had!
I feel that this trip was very inspiring, I collect rocks and it was very exciting to see some different rocks. As we were walking back to the bus from the Sandy River I found a real arrow head! How exciting!
