Avalanche danger is something to consider. That's only an issue when there are steep slopes above you or when you're in a chute. |
Going around the city, seeing the signs, with John Tyler and things like that, it showed us the entire city just came right in there. |
Hiking back wet will probably not be a good idea. |
I think people area a little intimidated by it sometimes... It's basically hiking -- you're not cold like people think you'd be. You actually get quite warm because you're exerting energy. |
In winter, places look very different, and it gives a feeling of exploration. It rejuvenates you for the coming week. |
Sometimes there are people there without clothes on. They think since they are in a natural environment, they can go natural. |
The best thing is the surroundings. You're in the middle of the forest and you have a river flowing next to the hot springs. |
The most enjoyable thing for me is having the feeling of being in pure nature where you're there and usually alone. It's like you're the first one to ever be there. Everything is perfectly pristine and very quiet -- snow dampens all the sound. |
They felt like losing the school was losing the community really. |
When they came to John Tyler they were really disappointed that they had to go there and they felt really unwanted. |
When they went to the state, and came back as a state champion, then we were all sisters and brothers there really. |
You can get snow blindness if you're not careful. |
