When traveling most people either choose to go to the beach or the mountains. Where we live is great because we are only a few hours from both. Most people love both places but tend to prefer one over the other for many reasons. It could be the weather, the views, or the town they visit.

Beach

The beach is often preferred because of its warm weather and friendly environment. Most students at THS pick the beach over the mountains. Most of them choose the beach because they travel there in the summer and have a lot of fun.

The beach is a great place to do many things including parasailing, swimming, and tanning. “[I like the beach more] because I like the ocean, and it’s the best place to get tan,” sophomore Ainsley Henderson said.

Mountains

The mountains are typically favored because of their views and cool weather. Although

it is a less popular option, the mountains are a great place for skiing, snowboarding, and many other activities to explore nature. There are a few students at THS who enjoy snow sports, luckily for them there are a few great places for this close to us. “[I prefer the mountains] because it has a lot more nature; it’s calm and peaceful and good for relaxing,” sophomore Clay Arnn said.

Whether you prefer the beach or the mountains, both are great places to vacation and have a good time with friends or family.
