Hi friends!

I promised to tell you all the details about the greatest trip of my life. I'm sure it'll be amazing. I'm going to write a little about each place we visit. So, this is how things are going.

Niagara Falls

Our first destination was located on the border of the USA and Canada: Niagara Falls. The best part of the trip was the 7-hour drive from New York to the Falls. The next day we got up really early and walked down to the Falls. I have never seen such a wonder! It looks really powerful as the water falls down from 51-metre height. Of course, you can't see it all because the bottom is covered with rocks.

The Great Lakes

The next place on our list was Lake Superior. It is the biggest and the deepest lake in the Great Lakes area. Its surface is 31,700 square miles, which is 82,000 square kilometres. It's twice as big as Gomel region. Can you believe it?

My dad LOOOVES fishing, so he couldn't miss the chance to catch at least some of the 80 species of fish that live in the lake. So we had trout and pike for dinner.

While my father was fishing, we were exploring the area around our cabin. We were really lucky to see some beavers building dams, lynxes and even a real moose in the distance. You know a moose looks like our elk.

Yellowstone National Park

Our next stop was Yellowstone National Park. You know Yellowstone is famous for its wildlife: it's home to more wild animals than almost anywhere else in the US. You can see a lot of species of animals and birds in their natural habitat. While we were driving around the park, we saw a family of grizzly bears, grey wolves and, can you believe it, a real bison crossing the road right in front of our car.

The most impressive site was the Old Faithful geyser, which can be as high as Niagara Falls. I've learnt that Yellowstone is the largest active geyser field in the world, which contains 60% of the world's geysers and hot springs.

The Grand Canyon

I've never been to the mountains, so the Grand Canyon was my dream destination. And finally my dream has come true. Right now we're standing on the rim (на краю / на краi) of the Canyon and the view is absolutely fantastic! The river below looks like chocolate milk.

We're thinking of going rafting or hiking. The Grand Canyon is 446 km long and up to 29 km wide. Its depth can be 1.83 km, so we'll probably take the hiking trail for beginners to start with! Oh, I've just seen a bald eagle hunting for trout.

Did you know that?

The Great Lakes hold 21% of the world's surface fresh water. Of course, nothing compares with Lake Baikal, which contains around 23% .
