Tourist Attractions Across America
As Robert ventures down into the Grand Canyon, he begins to picture all of the other beautiful destinations in the USA. The variety of tourist attractions across the US can appeal to residents an visitors alike. The United States contains a multitude of tourists’ favorite national parks. From a plethora of Geysers, to boiling hot springs, and boiling mud pots, Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful place to visit. To travel to the Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world, is a spectacle visitors will never forget. In addition, Big Bend is yet another national park that lies on the border of Mexico, and it attracts thousands of tourists every day. A vast amount of mountain ranges spread throughout the US. The Appalachian Mountains, one of the most famous mountain ranges, runs through the Southeast and the Northeast Regions. On the other hand, The Rocky Mountains, or the Rockies are located in the west. The Cascades, another breathtaking mountain range, runs straight through California making it tangible to tourists that this is the perfect destination. The pacific States, a minute region in the west, has an assortment of tourist attractions. Containing some of the country’s tallest mountains, the Pacific States are lined vertically on the west coast. Hollywood is a city where most of America’s movies are shot, and it is also a popular tourist destination. Spanning across the golden gate, the opening of the San Fransisco into the pacific ocean, the golden gate bridge attracts visitors from all around the world. The United States contains thousands of tourist attractions, such as Yellowstone or the Cascades, and they can appeal to everyone. As Robert ascends back up to the top of the canyon, he decides that there are thousands of wonderful destinations to see in the US. His only question is, “Which one will I visit next?”

that is an awesome piece of writing. One question: what is the Vocab. and Phrase of the Week? I know the phrase is "You always know when you are on right road, it's uphill." but what is the Vocab.?
Eliza, our descriptive paragraph is NOT DUE TOMORROW but the tuesday after we come back from our break.
Beck the vocab of the week is Precocious- it means- having developing certain abilities at an earlier age than usual

Does this sound okay mr. buxton i took out th e you and other than that i didnt do much although i added phrases ~~~~~~Crisp fall leaves flutter down laying upon the hard, cold, gray, gravel. To be with my family on a cold winter day, sights of enormous mountains would be trailing behind everyone’s footprint since it is the Smoky Mountains. Standing beside my blue plaid shirt, Mom, Katie and Sarah walk onward. As every single little footprint engraves into darkest of dirt, amazing feelings flows inside my thoughts. Meanwhile, steps I take along the trail make me feel closer to our destination, yet still quite far away. About the ground and beside the plants, newly layered stones accompanied relatives of mine although the enormous, sparkling, clear less sky follows above us all. Massive round boulders on the right, and tall knobbed trees on the left, towered around us while opposite of the sights, my siblings extracted frequent unhurried steps. Birds chirped to graceful sounds of music we could just lay hold of, and in addition large black yellow butterflies flapped through the crisp breeze. Go on.. Go on… so far it seems as if the evergreens swept those words onto my families’ bone-chilling faces, despite we were warm inside. Standing on the trail, it curved around like a dark cave away in the jungle. Fragrant smells of yellow dandelions and sharp grass pointing like swords, roamed around us as we took the aroma into our mouths with each of our swift breaths. To just stand in the beautiful woods, leaves whistled around everyone, yet nevertheless forming a feeling of warmth inside owing to the fact we chatted away. Glancing upwards, Mom, Katie, and Sarah stood on every side of me, constructing my evening to be even better in addition to every important statement blooming out of their tranquil, soft-spoken mouths. Beside the fact that i was cringing because of the cold air i also felt wonderful. Strolling downward the infinite trail escorted with my Nike tennis shoes I could detect everything to scratchy bumpy gray gravel, and dewy plants rustling beneath my feet. During this moment in time, audible squeaks of squirrels were just made out to scared of showing their warm fuzzy faces. Farther through the trail together we walked, shoulder- to- shoulder, arm-by-arm. Finally we get to the end of our hike with the wind whispering done… done… done…. Looking up at each sister of mine, a feeling of joy filled inside me because I knew an amazing family would always be there beside me.
Thanks bennett :)

Thanks!
