Valley Bike Ride

Biking through the valley was a fun experience, and being a group leader made me look at it a bit differently than I might have otherwise. I recognized some of the things I had read about in the pamphlet, though I sometimes couldn't remember everything I wanted to, which was frustrating.

I was in a very small group, so keeping everyone together wasn't really an issue...

Biking through the valley was very different than on foot for a few reasons. First, you obviously get a different perspective of things, and I felt I couldn't enjoy the beauty quite as much as I would've liked because we were going quickly on the trail (it was such a pretty day, though!).

I actually liked being on the bike, as opposed to walking. I thought the scenery was easy to appreciate just sitting there on the bike, coasting along. Ah well, that's just me.

I agree with Jeff that because the place is so big, riding helps to grasp the big picture. The colors were awesome that day. But when you go slower you consider in more depth. I guess we all just need to go back over and over to appreciate all the park has to offer.

Don't worry about not remembering everything. Even teachers don't remember everything. That's why they have answer keys.
