Hell’s Gate





On our hike in this amazing gorge, we saw this really cool grasshopper!! It was the coolest bug I have ever seen!!

My family and I went on a really cool hike in a gorge in Hells Gate National Park! The gorge was soo big!! It was basically like a cliff that we were at the bottom of!! In the picture above us is a kind of volcanic plug coming out of the ground.

There were two trails on the hike and one got blocked off a little way into the hike. We also had a guide who decided to go along with us. He said that we should go beyond the blocking, so we went with him. We saw some awesome things like a huge wall that was kind of like a roof for us!!!

We got to sleep in a small van for our hells gate trip. It rained that night so the van got a little wet. It was soo fun!!!

Hi Jay! That is the coolest grasshopper I have ever seen! I will make a beaded one sometime:)

Also, your trip to Hell's Gate must have been so excellent! I love the name of the park as well. Any idea why it is called that?

Thanks for sharing your experiences=:)

Aw man! I always wanted a sweet VW camper van like that. Funny how something so American but really from Germany could end up in Africa.

thanks! Hells Gate is called that because it has hot springs.
