School Field Trip to Mount Yumnuska, Kananaskis

One day I went on a field trip with my dad to Kananaskis Country.  It took has a long time to get there.  On the way there I saw a lot of wild life, some even said they saw a bear.  Some of the wild life I saw was Deer, a Beaver Dam , and maybe a Bear.

Hiking at the Base of Mount Yumnuska, KananaskisWhen we got there I needed to go to the Dunny (outhouse).

We got introduced to are guide.  It was really windy when we started to hike.  I spotted a lot of things, I even found a birds nest.  We hiked for a long time.  She even showed us a mountain called mount Yumnuska.

Kananaskis Mount Yumnuska Mine PondAfter we walked up a big dirt road to a mind.  When we got up the road she said to get a rock as big as your hand.  Then she let us throw it into a little pond.  Then we went into long wavy grass.  Swissssshhhhhy, Swassssshhhhhy, Swissssshhhhhy, Swassssshhhhhy!When we got out we did an experiment with clay.

Explosive Bunker for old Mount Yumnuska Kananaskis MineAfter we walked a bit, we found a little stoned shed that was used for mine equipment. Then we walked on a hilly path that had trees sticky out from every direction. Then we passed the other group. After we had some yummy lunch we played some games.  We even threw rocks on the ice.  My dad use to camp there and they even went around Mount Yumnuska. Then we went down a path that had no leaves on the trees.

Bird Nest that Caleb FoundAfter a while, we ended at the same spot were I found the bird nest.  We saw the other group heading for the bus and we raced them and we were first.  Then we sat in our seats and headed back to school.  The bus ride felt longer then it did before.  When we got to school it was time to go home.

Now that was the field trip to Mount Yumnuska.

The End!

    Thanks again Caleb for making me feel like I was right there with you. You sure have some fun and descriptive words in your writing. I’d like to help you with some suggestions…

    1. What other ways could you start your sentences instead of always using the same word…”after” and “then?”

    I love that you are enjoying your blog so much. It’s a great tool to help with your writing and to share with all of us your adventures. I really enjoy reading your entries.

    Love Mum.

    PS. I know Dad was “first”…do you think I should go and give him a great, big kiss? Haha!

    Well Caleb, I may not be the first to comment, and I may not get a kiss………..but I did enjoy reading your field trip report. Can I guess one of the best parts of your trip? I reckon it may have been when you were allowed to throw the rock into the water.
    Keep up the good work, Love Gran x x

      Hi gran,
      no that wasn’t the best part. The best part was when we got to hike around the park. It was really windy when we were hiking. I almost got blown away. I’m sorry you don’t get a kiss. I will give you a kiss when I see you next.
      Love you! Xx Oo
