One night Flat Stanley and Jeff had a great time talking about all of Jeff's hiking trips. Jeff brought out lots of pictures to show Stanley the places where Jeff had been.
Stanley saw pictures of:
Mt. Rainier in Washington--
Mt. Shasta in California--Jeff and a few other friends climbed this mountain. But the weather got very bad at the mountain top, so that they were not able to actually stand on the very top of the mountain. People who climb mountains call this "summitting." It's not unusual that climbers don't summit; the weather on the mountains changes very quickly and it's important to be very careful and be safe.
Glacier National Park in Montana--This was a long hiking trip Jeff went on. He and his friends walked XXX of miles in XX number of days. Along the way they saw some great views, met a few mountain goats, and had a tremendous time. They even hiked through a snow flurry on their last day on the trail.
Dolly Sods in West Virginia--This is one of Jeff's favorite camping and hiking destinations. It is only about 4 hours away from our house. He goes there about three times a year, and always has a grand time. The area is wide open with lots of rolling hills and pretty views. Here is a description of the area from Wikipedia. And here is the site of a friend of Jeff's who takes lots of wildlife pictures--these are his Dolly Sod pictures.
