Waldo Lake, Oregon

Owned by the forest service, this lake is one of the clearest in the world, 250 feet below serfice is visible. On a really hot day, jump of the swimming dock or paddle twards one of the many small islands.

This lake/campground is known to few people and is beautiful. Deer walk through campspots, but be careful not to move or they'll get scared. Climb the little hill in the middle of the small campground and find a little rock fort made by the past campers. Be sure not to knock it down, I worked on that hard. There is also a little secret beach not labeld on the map. Find it and enjoy paradise, catch frogs or dragon tadpoles and watch them swim away. 36 miles around the lake and benches to rest. This lake is one of the few in the world to look like this anymore.

Yellow Stone National Park

The first long trip you ever want to do is Yellowstone. Its lots of touristy stuff, wildlife, and if you get lost there is allways someone to help. Always bring a waterbottle because there are no driking fountains and water costs money. If your planning on going somewhere inside of yellowstone, plan an all day trip. Its takes quite along time to get to your destanation, and remeber ALLWAYS PACK LUNCHES! Lunch in the park is way more expensive and it takes awhile to get to.  Here are some ABSOULUTE! things that you MUST do there, so pack a bag with a camera and go!

(^^^Yellow stone lake^^^)

1. Mammoth Falls. Its not really a waterfall but if your into lots of cool geological features, its amazing. Its a bit of an uphill climb, but there are benches to sit on along the way. Make sure to go on a not so hot day, because  there arent any trees because of the sulfur.

2. (Of course) Old faithfull. Make sure to go there on a week day, because it is CRAM PACKED! You should get there early to 1. Get a good seat and 2. Have time to walk around the rim trail. Along the rim trail are other cool features, and mini mud pots and waterfalls and pools.

3. The canyon. The veiw is beautiful. I dont mean like when you see a nice shirt or something, I mean when you see your new baby for the first time beautiful.

4. Other places that interest you and your family or friends. Decide were you want to go, and look it up incase its closed, plan it and reasearch it. Going there without any idea what your doing is risky, so ask people if you are and get some advice.
