SMART Prep | Quick Question 211188

Dear Diary,
Today our class hiked to the lookout above the river. At first, the track felt steep and my legs were already sore. However, when we reached the top, the view made the climb worthwhile. We could see the forest, the river bends, and even the roofs of the nearby township. Mr Patel told us to sit quietly for a minute and notice the sounds around us. I could hear birds calling and the wind moving through the trees. It was one of the best parts of camp so far.

Which sentence would best fit at the end of the diary entry?
