Four Places at Skyline Park

Skyline Park has a Climate Trail. It shows how people in four places may live and work. Look for clues about the climate and the land.

At the snowy mountain, the land is high and steep. Winters are cold and snowy. A model home has a steep roof. People wear thick coats and boots. Some people work as mountain guides.

At the rainy coast, the land meets the ocean. Rain falls often. A model home has a wide roof overhang. People wear rain jackets. Some people fish from boats.

At the grassy plain, the land is flat and wide. Summers are warm and sunny, and wind can blow. A model home has strong walls. People wear sun hats. Some people grow wheat.

At the wet marsh, the land is low and has pools of water. A model home stands on tall posts. People wear rubber boots. Some people guide boats through the water.
