Textual Evidence Exit Ticket
The Trail That Changed
At the start of their visit to Grand Teton National Park, Hannah hurried along the trail, eager to reach the overlook before the clouds covered the peaks. Her brother Mateo stopped beside a patch of muddy ground. A small set of tracks crossed it and disappeared beneath a fallen log. “Probably just a bird,” Hannah said, glancing at the sky. “We can look later.” Mateo crouched without touching the tracks. “They’re narrow, and there are four marks together. Maybe an animal passed through here.” He took a photo for the park’s visitor center and stepped back to keep the trail clear. A few minutes later, they noticed a wooden sign asking visitors to stay on the path to protect young plants. Hannah spotted a strip of bare ground beside the trail where people had stepped around a puddle. She paused. “If everyone takes that shortcut, the plants won’t have much of a chance.” The clouds finally covered the peaks. Hannah looked toward the overlook, then back at the muddy tracks. “I thought getting there first was the whole point,” she said. “But we’ve learned more by slowing down.” Mateo smiled. They continued on the marked trail, wondering what else they might notice.
