Senior Project Day 13

 Today we spent the day working on our trail guide. We still had quite a bit of work to get done since we added a hike on Friday. We were able to get super creative with out guide which was fun. It feels super rewarding to finally see our project come together. I feel super good about how our trail guide looks. I think we did a good job with organization on our guide and I think it will be super easy for people to read. Tomorrow we will be adding all the finishing touches to bring it all together!

Todays Hours: 2.5

Week 2 reflection

  This week we did three hikes. We started our week off by hiking up to Smiths Pond in Enfield NH. It was the most gradual hike we did in terms of elevation gain. The hike was super pretty and was heavily wooded until the top. We took our time on the hike and enjoyed the pond at the top. There were a ton of salamanders in the pond which was super neat, and in my opinion, was the coolest wildlife we saw during our whole project. The hike was cool for me because it reminded me of the pond we reached on my orientation hike, which I really liked. On Tuesday we spent the day writing our trail guide for our hike.  The second hike we did this week was on Thursday. This day we hiked Kearsarge, and instead of going up and back on the same trail, as we had done on the rest of our hikes, we went up a steeper route and then came down on a less steep route which was super nice because the steep downhills tend to hurt my knees sometimes. Just like when we hiked Cardigan, at the top we went into th

Week 1 Reflection

  This week, Bean, Kelby, and I hiked twice and worked on our trail guide. Monday we started the week out by hiking Cardigan Mountain. Although we took a wrong turn at the beginning of our hike we figured it out and found our way to the right trail. The hike was super fun, and we even got to go inside of the fire tower at the top. We learned an important lesson on this hike that is to always bring more layers than you think you will need because it was super windy at the top of the mountain and we kind of froze. The hike wasn’t too strenuous, so it was a good way to start off the week.  Tuesday and Wednesday we spent the day working on our trail guide. We figured out the design we wanted on our guide, and what we needed to include for each hike. We figured that things such as elevation gain, terrain, features (wheelchair accessible, restrooms, parking), were important things to note about every hike. We also decided to include photos from the hikes, as well as a detail description of

Senior Project Day 3

  Today was the third day of our senior project and we spent a total of 2.5 hours working on our trail guide. After today our project total so far is 13.5 hours. Today was exciting because we were really able to get creative with our trail guide. We worked through some technical difficulties and other mistakes on our trail guide that we were able to correct. We now have a good format for the rest of our guide, and a theme for our decorations etc. Tomorrow we will be hiking a much more difficult trail up in Franconia, which we are all very excited about. Tomorrow will be a great challenge for us, and we might encounter some snow which will be interesting!
