Let’s look at each sentence carefully and decide whether to use “all together” or “altogether.”
---
Sentence 1: ______, we trudged up the mountain until we reached the camp.
We’re talking about a group of people moving as one unit — everyone going up the mountain together. That means we want the phrase that means “as a group” or “in unison.”
→ “All together” = as a group
→ “Altogether” = completely, entirely, or in total
So for this sentence, since it’s about the group hiking as one, the correct choice is
“All together”.

Sentence 2: ______, the hiking experience was rewarding.
Here, we’re saying that *overall* or *completely*, the experience was good. We’re not talking about doing something as a group — we’re giving a summary judgment.
→ “Altogether” fits here because it means “on the whole” or “entirely.”
So the correct choice is
“Altogether”.

Final Answer:
1. All together
2. Altogether
