If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I love hiking in nature. At the beginning of July I did a few really difficult hikes in the mountains. While they were hard, they were also stunningly beautiful. Today’s story recounts the poetic beauty I find when hiking on the trail.

This story is in the first person and present tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “sendero” (trail),“árboles” (trees), “flores” (flowers), “cascada” (waterfall) and “sigue” (continues/follows).

No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2025/07/18/simple-stories-in-spanish-el-sendero/
