A Place In The United States I Want To See

A Place In the United States I Want to See



A place in the US I would like to see is Bryce Canyon in Utah. Although it is not a canyon, despite it's name, the natural gathering of these geological structures called "hoodoos"

In order to get to Bryce Canyon National Park, in which Bryce Canyon is located, i would need to fly on a plane to Utah first. It is an extremely large distance to drive, so flying will be better time-wise.
Bryce Canyon is best known for it's "amphitheater" of hoodoos, stretching 12 miles long and 3 miles wide.
In the summer, the daily high of Bryce Canyon is around 71 degrees Fahrenheit, while the daily low is around 41 degrees. In the winter,  the daily high goes down to 42 degrees, with the daily low being 14 degrees. Precipitation is likely in Bryce Canyon, with chance of rain in the summer being an average of 51%. I would need to take water to keep hydrated, a backpack of food and sunscreen. A camera to capture my experience would also be amazing.
I would expect my experience at Bryce Canyon to be breathtaking, and definitely memorable. I would probably want to look at it for hours, looking at every part and angle of the natural beauty God provided for me.

Overview of Into the Wild & Author Biography

Summary of Into the Wild (as found on wikipedia)

A Picture of Christopher McCandless' journal

Into the Wild is about a man named Christopher McCandless, and his life shown through the research of author Jon Krakauer. Krakauer took interest in McCandless life before his death in Alaska in an abandoned bus. Krakauer writes in Into the Wild about McCandless life 2 years  prior before his death. The author discovered that McCandless took the name "Alexander Supertramp", discarding his legal name of Christopher McCandless in the early stages of his journey. Supertramp spent time employed by Wayne Westburg in a grain elevator. After his spell with employment, he hitchhiked to Alaska from Carthage, South Dakota, his former place of residence. Supertramp's personality, as described by Krakauer, can be described as ascetic. This could possibly be refrenced to author Henry David Thoreau and his writings. Krakauer compares Supertramp to himself, as well as Everett Reuss.
