We went to the Grand Canyon and the river that carved it was the Colorado River. We also visited Hoover Dam. The river that goes to the Hoover Dam is the Colorado River. Grand Canyon was really cool because there were a lot of rocks and it’s really deep. The Colorado River went down through it. If you do a ranger tlak, they will probably talk about DUDE. It is Deposition, Uplift, Downcutting, and Erosion. That’s how the Grand Canyon was built. Every year the Grand Canyon widens the size of a piece of paper. At Grand Canyon a lady was being a ding dong by feeding an elk. The Ranger said not to feed the animals. When I was there, I saw lizards, elk and deer. Don’t feed the animals! Hoover Dam was started in 1931 and was finished in 1936. It took five years to build Hoover Dam. The river to Hoover Dam is the Colorado River. Hoover Dam was really cool. I went on the inside the dam tour. It was really cool because you saw the stuff inside the dam that makes the energy and at the last point you could touch the dam wall.
I really liked Grand Canyon because it was super deep. I liked Hoover Dam because it was really big. You should visit both of them. By Lance
