We hope you had a rocking time up here at CH. You certainly scaled some big rocks and furthered your knowledge of geology. We were impressed by what you already knew, you must have some good teachers. Students either made it to lunch rock or to the top of twin sisters, either way you got to see the effects of glaciers on the rocky mountains.
On the summit of Lunch Rock
One of the best places to see the work of glaciers is Moraine Park, from lunch rock you can peer down on the lateral and terminal moraines. In the photo below, the terminal moraine is the hill at the far end of the big meadow. A 1,000 foot thick glacier pushed that up! On the right side of the picture, the highest peak is the twin sisters.

Now that you guys know more about the earth, we want you to remember to take good care of it so we can continue to enjoy it this way for a long time. Let us know about what you enjoyed and learned up here!

Hey guys,
It was great to go to CH and i hope I can some days see it again. It was a once in a life time chance for some of us, and I loved it. I hope other kids have fun. (:
