美國大峽谷旅遊季節
A. 美國大峽谷 介紹+遊玩方向
http://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm
The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those that explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River.
This canyon is a gift that transcends what we experience. Its beauty and size humbles us. Its timelessness provokes a comparison to our short existence. In its vast spaces we may find solace from our hectic lives.
The Grand Canyon we visit today is a gift from past generations. Take time to enjoy this gift. Sit and watch the changing play of light and shadows. Wander along a trail and feel the sunshine and wind on your face. Attend a ranger program. Follow the antics of ravens soaring above the rim. Listen for the roar of the rapids far below. Savor a sunrise or sunset.
As the shadows lengthen across the spires and buttes, time passing into the depths of the canyon, understand what this great chasm passes to us - a sense of humility born in the interconnections of all that is and a willingness to care for this land. We have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to form their own connections with Grand Canyon National Park.
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park, one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.

A map of the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas, circa 1908.Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six million year period. The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet).[1] Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. The "canyon began in the west, followed by another that formed in the east. Eventually, the two broke through and met as a single majestic rent in the earth some six million years ago. [...] The merger apparently occurred where the river today bends to the west, in the area known as the Kaibab Arch."[2]
Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it.[3] The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.[4]
The Grand Canyon is a massive rift in the Colorado Plateau that exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata, and is also one of the six distinct physiographic sections of the Colorado Plateau province. The Grand Canyon is unmatched throughout the world for the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. It is not the deepest canyon in the world—Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon (5,382m or 17,657 ft (1994 old data); 6009m (1998); single side 7057m deep; average depth 2268m; average depth of 250 km kernel zones 2673m) in Tibet, China is far deeper, nor the widest (this is Capertee Valley in Australia - which is about 1 km wider and longer than Grand Canyon), not to mention the largest — but the Grand Canyon is known for its overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.
Temples, Castles, and Shrines.Uplift associated with mountain building events later moved these sediments thousands of feet upward and created the Colorado Plateau. The higher elevation has also resulted in greater precipitation in the Colorado River drainage area, but not enough to change the Grand Canyon area from being semi-arid. The uplift of the Colorado Plateau is uneven, and the north-south trending Kaibab Plateau that Grand Canyon bisects is over a thousand feet higher at the North Rim (about 1,000 ft/300 m) than at the South Rim. The fact that the Colorado River flows in a curve around the higher North Rim part of the Kaibab Plateau and closer to the South Rim part of the plateau is also explained by this asymmetry. Ivo Lucchitta of the U.S. Geological Survey first suggested that, as the Colorado River developed before significant erosion of the region, it naturally found its way across or around the Kaibab Uplift by following a "racetrack" path to the south of the highest part of the plateau. Almost all runoff from the North Rim (which also gets more rain and snow) flows toward the Grand Canyon, while much of the runoff on the plateau behind the South Rim flows away from the canyon (following the general tilt). The result is deeper and longer tributary washes and canyons on the north side and shorter and steeper side canyons on the south side.
Temperatures on the North Rim are generally lower than the South Rim because of the greater elevation (averaging 8,000 ft/2,438 m above sea level).[5] Heavy rains are common on both rims ring the summer months. Access to the North Rim via the primary route leading to the canyon (State Route 67) is limited ring the winter season e to road closures. Views from the North Rim tend to give a better impression of the expanse of the canyon than those from the South Rim.
Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world』s premier natural attractions, attracting about five million visitors per year. Overall, 83% were from the United States: California (12.2%), Arizona (8.9%), Texas (4.8%), Florida (3.4%) and New York (3.2%) represented the top domestic visitors. Seventeen percent of visitors were from outside the United States; the most prominently represented nations were the United Kingdom (3.8%), Canada (3.5%), Japan (2.1%), Germany (1.9%) and The Netherlands (1.2%).[30]
[edit] Activities
Further information: Grand Canyon travel guide from Wikitravel
A view of Grand Canyon Skywalk from Outside LedgeAside from casual sightseeing from the South Rim (averaging 7000 feet (2100 m) above sea level), whitewater rafting, hiking and running are especially popular. The floor of the valley is accessible by foot, muleback, or by boat or raft from upriver. Hiking down to the river and back up to the rim in one day is discouraged by park officials because of the distance, steep and rocky trails, change in elevation, and danger of heat exhaustion from the much higher temperatures at the bottom. Rescues are required annually of unsuccessful rim-to-river-to-rim travelers. Nevertheless, hundreds of fit and experienced hikers complete the trip every year.

Grand Canyon as seen from a commercial airplaneCamping on the North and South Rims is generally restricted to established campgrounds and reservations are highly recommended, especially at the busier South Rim. There is at large camping available along many parts of the North Rim managed by Kaibab National Forest. Keep in mind North Rim campsites are only open seasonally e to road closures from weather and winter snowpack. All overnight camping below the rim requires a backcountry permit from the Backcountry Country Office (BCO). Each year Grand Canyon National Park receives approximately 30,000 requests for backcountry permits. The park issues 13,000 permits, and close to 40,000 people camp overnight.[31] The earliest a permit application is accepted is the first of the month, four months before the proposed start month. Applying as soon as allowed will improve your chances of obtaining an overnight backcountry use permit for the dates of your choice. If you are unable to secure a permit from the Grand Canyon Backcountry Office, or you are not comfortable hiking the Canyon on your own you can go with a professional guide.
The Coconino Canyon Train is another option for those seeking to take in a more leisurely view of the canyon. It is a 90-minute ride that originates in Grand Canyon National Park at the old Grand Canyon Depot and travels 24 miles through the canyon landscapes. The train is made up of 1923 Pullman cars and runs on tracks built in the 1800s. [32]
Tourists wishing for a more vertical perspective can board helicopters and small airplanes in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Grand Canyon National Park Airport (seven miles from the South Rim) for canyon flyovers. Scenic flights are no longer allowed to fly within 1500' of the rim within the national park because of a late 90s crash. The last aerial video footage from below the rim was filmed in 1984. However, some helicopter flights land on the Havasupai and Hualapai Indian Reservations within Grand Canyon (outside of the park boundaries). Recently, the Hualapai Tribe opened the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk on their property, Grand Canyon West. The Skywalk has seen mixed reviews since the site is only accessible by driving down a 14-mile (23 km) dirt road, costs a minimum of $85 in total for reservation fees, a tour package and admission to the Skywalk itself and the fact that cameras are not permitted on the Skywalk at any time. The Skywalk is some 240 miles west of Grand Canyon Village at the South Rim. Some people mistake the area of Hermit's Rest as the location of the Skywalk.[citation needed]
[edit] Viewing the canyon
Home video: a flight over the Grand Canyon - with sound (approx. 6 Minutes)Lipan Point is a promontory located on the South Rim. This point is located to the east of the Grand Canyon Village along the Desert View Drive. There is a parking lot for visitors who care to drive along with the Canyon's bus service that routinely stops at the point. The trailhead to the Tanner Trail is located just before the parking lot. The view from Lipan Point shows a wide array of rock strata and the Unkar Creek area in the inner canyon.
The canyon can be seen from the Toroweap (or Tuweep) Overlook situated 3000 vertical feet above the Colorado River, about 50 miles downriver from the South Rim and 70 upriver from the Grand Canyon Skywalk. This region — 「One of the most remote in the United States」 according to the National Park Service — is reached only by one of three lengthy dirt tracks, that start from St. George, Utah, Colorado City or near Pipe Spring National Monument (both in Arizona). These roads traverse wild, uninhabited land for 97, 62 and 64 miles respectively. The Park Service manages the area for its primitive values and, therefore, improvements and services are minimal.

B. 美國大峽谷 旅遊需要多少時間
美國大峽谷(Grand Canyon)是一個舉世聞名的自然奇觀,由於科羅拉多河穿流其專中,故又名科羅拉多大峽谷屬,它是聯合國教科文組織選為受保護的天然遺產之一。位於美國亞利桑那州西北部的凱巴布高原上,是地球上最為壯麗的景色之一,去那邊遊玩可以在奇思旅行網上訂制,會有驚喜的。
C. 美國大峽谷幾月份好玩的
旅遊貼士
1.白天來很有可能會遇到交通不暢,停車場不夠用的問題,特別是在夏天的時候。人最少的時候是11月至2月。但冬天的氣候不太適合旅行。
2.大峽谷的南緣平均海拔2134米,北緣平均海拔2438米。要爬上這座峽谷要費一番力氣。有呼吸和心臟病的遊客可能會感覺不適。
3.在公園內住宿或露營需要提前預定。在預定時要說明是在大峽谷北緣還是南緣住宿。露營地通常很快客滿,所以需要盡量早些預定。
4.可以在南緣在車上看大峽谷,這個部分比較好開車,並且終年都開放。北緣比南緣高一千英尺,每年從10月末至5月中旬都冰雪覆蓋。
5.各酒店都有不同公司提供的一日游彩頁,大峽谷游都需要一整天。有坐大巴去的(單程要4.5小時),也有坐飛機的,直升機為多。前者有130美元的,150美元的,後一種有300美元的,也有450美元的。
6.在拉斯維加斯的大小旅館或其他地方都可取得各種前往大峽谷的旅遊宣傳資料,據說有30多家旅行社在「搶生意」,所以要注意貨比三家,不同季節還有不同的「時價」,盡可能討價還價。如飛機前往的可能要價四五百美元,但找對路子就有可能侃到二三百美元。空中線路和乘車線路應說各有特色,但如不太趕時間的話,筆者推薦自駕車是首選,其次是旅行社的巴士團。不僅因為便宜(一天游約為一百多美元),而是地面上可以細致地欣賞景色,拍攝機會多,還能聽到導游的解說(華人旅行社有中文),增加更多知識。飛機上看景色較壯觀,但顛簸大,較難拍攝,僅有的英文講解也會被雜訊掩蓋。徒步可以看到最美麗最特別的景色,但非有一定水平的驢友不要妄為。
D. 去美國大峽谷旅行,有哪些經驗和注意事項
首先說明的是我去大峽谷的時間是2013年10月19號,這之後大峽谷有沒有什麼變化並不太清楚。
去大峽谷底下有簡單和困難倆種模式。
先說說我經歷的困難模式吧(簡單模式後來才解鎖的哭死)
行程計劃:
D1花費6-7個小時,從LA 開車去大峽谷的入口(門票50美金上下每輛車)
D2去遊客中心辦理下谷的宿營許可證(可以從網上預約)當天去一般是沒有的,我自己等了倆天,吃了沒經驗的虧!!
D3 在大峽谷南緣轉悠,這里絕對值得呆上一天到倆天
D4繼續在南緣晃悠,為第二天下谷做准備
D5 下谷
D6 徒步去北緣
D7 上谷+開車回家。
個人情況:當時21歲,165斤的胖子,平時沒有啥運動。去之前還節食了10天瘦了8斤= =# (所以妹子們
不要怕,帶個男生抗裝備,輕輕鬆鬆)
山谷上面的露營地還是比較充足的,擔心自己人品的可以在網上先預定好
裝備:
沃爾瑪可以搞定的
1單人帳篷(沃爾瑪那種30塊一個的就好)
2防潮墊(千萬要帶,血的教訓)
3單人瓦斯爐子和鍋(沃爾瑪有賣套裝的)
4 水袋(個人推薦2L-3L的足以,沿途有補給)
5 登山杖
6 食物
7 備用衣服
8 登山野營用的背包 25L 上下
9 睡袋(上谷里氣溫低個人推薦5-10度的但是要更具季節調整)
10 垃圾袋(這個一定要帶,不能丟國人的臉)
11 褲子
(一定要厚實不然會被掛爛的,推薦軍用迷彩褲,丑是丑可是耐用)
沃爾瑪搞不定的
1 單人防身刀(個人覺得沒必要,我哥逼我帶了個)
2 gps 定位器(同上)
3 保溫墊(同上)
所有裝備加在一起是38斤,但是我帶來很多的雜物,個人估計如果讓我再去的話重量應該在20-30斤。

開扒正文
依稀記得那是2013年9月的一天,閑來無事為了紀念自己過去的20年無聊青春,想試試一次花樣做死。
本著這一態度我開始了沒完沒了的糾結。最後選定去大峽谷徒步。我的這個念頭把我哥嚇壞了,他一直認為我是有去無回,回饋大自然。(事實證明他才是我這行的的最大阻礙,順便介紹下我哥
14歲去移民去的美國,高中畢業的時候去了軍隊。自從美帝把他送上伊拉克戰場他就一直覺得這個政府有問題)
大峽谷分為南北倆緣。一般去的都是南緣。同時南緣從11,12月份開始會封谷,一般會持續到第二年的2-3月份。
我去的時候是10月19號已經接近封谷的時候了,氣溫已經比較低了。日夜溫差大約在20度上下。考慮到白頭要進行大量的運動建議帶意見透氣的薄衣服。
在10月20和21號倆天里我把南緣轉了一遍,有一個特別有意思的的景點我給起的名字叫一步一百萬年,應為每走一步看到的北緣的變化需要一百萬年才能形成。而且這一路上會有各種岩石的介紹。相當的有價值。
在10月22日這天我正式下谷就是在這里我被坑了,應為下谷有倆條路,一條叫kaibab還有一個叫bright angel,bright angel比kaibab海拔低120米而且長了大約4km。我當初考慮是bright angel比kaibab的坡度小不少這樣上谷應該會輕松一些,然後我錯了我真的錯了這條路多出來的4km全是平的。後來上谷的時候真是哭的心都有了。
撇開上面這些,下谷是一件蠻輕松的事情和下樓梯查不多,一般的花費實在6-4個小時我花了5個小時。
接著是我的宿營地
Bright Angel Campground. 這邊的營地是先到先得,我抓緊給自己選了個靠近小溪的。這個溪水是可以洗澡的(=-=,男女混浴)還有不少人洗完澡之後會在水裡壘石頭玩。Ps:水是真的甜.
最後強烈建議半夜出來看銀河。我去過的地方也不算少了,沙漠里的銀河也沒這里的亮。(個人感受勿噴)當時擔心背包太重沒把單反帶下去,算是最大的遺憾。
值得一提的是在山谷下面有一條科羅拉多河,相當的寬不過只有下谷了之後才能看到山谷上面是看不到的。算是一個不大不小的福利,而且這邊有科羅拉多河漂流,最長的能持續1個月。
10月23號我徒步去了北緣,沿途沒有什麼特別的景觀唯一的驚喜是看到一直野生的羊在啃石頭。而且我去的時候正好是枯水季,沿途的瀑布沒水——。
10月24日我人生中最慢長的9個小時開始了(一般需要8-10個小時)。我依然記得那天陽光明媚一切正常除了永遠看不到頭的路。我在路上甚至打算露營半山腰。不過好歹還是堅持了下來。不過還是要提一下最後的1500米,這個時候你不但可以看見谷頂還能看到公交車的燈光以及聽到上面人說話的聲音,但就是每次拐個彎就多出來好長的一段路。心酸。
———————————————————————————————————————————
說完困難模式應該嚇退了不少妹子了吧,不過不用怕。
接下來介紹簡單模式
簡單模式
1.
山谷底下是有旅店的我當時問的價格是45美金一晚經濟實惠還能洗熱水澡,旅店裡還有個小郵局,出售各種小零食以及正餐。
2.
下谷和上谷是可以騎馬的。我當時看到有人騎馬上來的時候我已經哭了。
Ps: 不過這倆個服務都相當的緊俏需要提前預定。
———————————————————————————————————————————
最後提醒一下大峽谷是可以做直升飛機參觀的價格也不貴一個人大約是300+美金,同時那個網上盛傳的大峽谷玻璃橋。離下谷的地方一來一回查不多要一天。
E. 美國科羅拉多大峽谷的最佳旅遊時間
你連看都沒看認真看,怎麼知道我復制呢?多少是復制,多少是我自己寫,我上面寫明,下次也幫你寫個reference,這樣你可以分得很清楚。
最多人去的是6,7,8月份,我是去年跟家裡人一塊去的,真的很漂亮,導游也說這個時候就是最多人去的,因為大峽谷有很多瀑布和大小峽谷,那時候是水流量最大的時候,風景很優美,美國最美麗就是大峽谷,黃石公園,還有大瀑布,但是讓我感受最深的還是大峽谷,一直往下走。你可以選擇到拉斯維加斯租車去玩,大概60美元一天(保險,車錢,還有稅,如果你自己有保險就便宜很多),也可以跟旅行團,我上次是跟天馬旅行車,一共7天,從SF出發,最後停在鹽湖城,是499塊,只包車費和酒店,其餘自己給,一個人大概花了1000塊多一點。至於你所的包車,我也不太清楚,你可以打電話到旅行社咨詢。
下面是大峽谷的資料:來自網路
美國大峽谷(Grand Canyon)是一個舉世聞名的自然奇觀,由於科羅拉多河穿流其中,故又名科羅拉多大峽谷,它是聯合國教科文組織選為受保護的天然遺產之一。科羅拉多大峽谷位於美國亞利桑那州西北部的凱巴布高原上,是地球上最為壯麗的景色之一。科羅拉多河在科羅拉多高原上共切割出19條主要峽谷,總面積2724.7平方公里,其中最深、最寬、最長的一個就是科羅拉多大峽谷。它全長446公里,是世界上最長的峽谷之一。峽谷頂寬6至28公里,最深處1800米。谷底水面不足 1000米寬,夏季冰雪融水*,水深增至18米。山石多為紅色。
地質時期代表性的生物化石,故有「活的地質史教科書」之稱。大峽谷位於美國亞歷山大州境內的科羅拉多高原上,科羅拉多河從中流過。據說在十六世紀,有一個叫科羅拉多的人為了尋找傳說中的七座黃金城,從遙遠的地方跋涉到此地並發現了大峽谷,科羅拉多大峽谷之名也由此而來。據地理學家考證,大峽谷已走過六百萬年的歷史,是大自然在地球上的傑作,輝煌與壯麗遠非一般自然景色可比。美國人以此為驕傲與自豪。1科羅拉多高原為典型的「桌狀高地」,也稱「桌子山」,即頂部平坦側面陡峭的山。這種地形是由於侵蝕(下切和剝離)作用形成的。在侵蝕期間,高原中比較堅硬的岩層構成河谷之間地區的保護帽,而河谷里侵蝕作用活躍。這種結果就造成了平台型大山或堡壘狀小山。峽谷岩壁的水平岩層清晰明了,這是億萬年前的地質沉積物,如同樹木的年輪一樣,為人們認識地質變化提供了充分的依據。岩石並不通體都是堅硬的,其中那些脆弱的部分,經不住風吹雨打或激流沖擊,時間一長便消失得無了蹤影,而留下來的部分,其形狀往往很奇特。看,這座天然石橋「建」得多麼規范。大峽谷除去它雄偉壯觀的一面,還有很多千回百轉的通幽曲徑;兩崖壁立千仞,夾持一線青天的景色在令人驚嘆之餘,難免也會讓你覺得前面似乎就有當關之勇夫。另外的一些由水流沖擊而成的岩穴石谷,形狀千奇百態,色彩通紅如火,每一處岩石都好像是一幅精美的畫,置身其中,猶如來到仙境一般。峽谷兩壁及谷底氣候、景觀有很大不同,南壁乾暖,植物稀少;北壁高於南壁,氣候寒濕,林木蒼翠;谷底則乾熱,呈一派荒漠景觀。蜿蜒於谷底的科羅拉多河曲折幽深,整個大峽谷地段的河床比降為每千米150厘米,是密西西比河的25倍。其中百分之 50的比降還很集中,這就造成了峽谷中部分地段河水激流奔騰的景觀。因為如此,沿峽谷航行漂流成為引人入勝的探險活動。
大峽谷是科羅拉多河的傑作。這條河發源於科羅拉多州的落基山,洪流奔瀉,經猶他州、亞利桑那州,由加利福尼亞州的加利福尼亞灣入海。全長2320公里。「科羅拉多」,在西班牙語中,意為「紅河」,這是由於河中夾帶大量泥沙,河水常顯紅色,故名。
科羅拉多河的長期沖刷,不舍晝夜地向前奔流,有時開山劈道,有時讓路迴流,在主流與支流的上游就已刻鑿出黑峽谷、峽谷地、格倫峽谷,布魯斯峽谷等19個峽谷,而最後流經亞利桑那州多岩的凱巴布高原時,更出現驚人之筆,形成了這個大峽谷奇觀,而成為這條水系所有峽谷中的「峽谷之王」。
印第安人傳說,大峽谷是在一次洪水中形成。當時上帝化人類為魚鰲,始倖免於難。因此當地的印第安人至今仍不吃魚鮮。實際上,刻鑿大峽谷的工作,並非一朝一夕之功,而是經歷了幾十億年的漫長歲月,而且至今猶未停歇,直至永遠。人類不能覺察每天鐫刻的進度,但時間的演進,卻顯示了令人不能置信的偉觀。
科羅拉多大峽谷由於地層結構不同,松密不一,河水的橫沖直撞,有時造成大片坍陷,有時卻只遺下一道罅隙;有時如怒濤般的激盪,有時又如鋸齒般的侵蝕;如平流迂緩,則留下平緩的痕跡,如激流翻卷,則產生突兀的紋飾。於是,這條漫長的峽谷,就百態雜陳,有的寬展,有的狹隘;有的如蜂窩;有的如蟻穴;有的尖聳如寶塔,有的堆積如磚石;有的如孤峰孑立,有的如洞穴天成,人們對這些大自然的傑作,依形命名,冠以一些含有神話故事的名稱,如阿波羅神殿、黛安娜神廟、婆羅門寺宇等。其北緣的「天使窗」,是一面山嶂上出現的一個通天空洞,其南緣的「美德岬」,像古代將軍掛印拜帥的將台,尤其是谷壁地層斷面,紋理清晰,層層疊疊,就像萬卷詩書構成的曲線圖案,緣山起落,循谷延伸,又如一幅萬里綢帶,在大地上宛轉飄舞。遊人至此,無不贊嘆大自然的鬼斧神功的奇妙。
峽谷的顏色,又因兩壁岩石的種類、風化的程度、時間的演變,以及所含礦物質的各異,而各有不同,鐵礦石在陽光照射下,呈現五彩,其它氧化物則產生各種暗淡的色調,石英岩又會顯出白色,因之,形成一塊塊鮮紅,一方方深赭,一團團黝黑,一片片鐵灰,大地像一塊巨大的五色斑斕的調色板,美不勝收。而有的因為夾有泥土長出了草木而帶一些詩意,有的又因谷底彌漫著水霧,而微顯淡紫;再加上天氣變化,或驕陽直射,或風雨晦暝,或晨曦初上,或夕陽滿山,可使峽谷風光,變幻莫測,氣象萬千。
大峽谷不僅景色奇異,而且野生動物十分繁富。有200多種鳥禽,60種哺乳動物和15種爬行動物和兩棲動物在此生息,在谷底的法頓牧場和相離90餘公里,高約3500米的聖弗朗西斯科峰之間的地段,既是亞熱帶植物,也是寒帶植物的生長區。所以,這里仙人掌、罌栗、雲杉、冷杉等植物幾乎是在同一地區內共生。
大峽谷的泥牆小屋廢墟,表明在13世紀印第安人是開發這里的最早的主人。但大峽谷的天然奇景之為人所知,應歸於美國獨臂炮兵少校鮑威爾的宣傳。他於 1869年率領一支遠征隊,乘小船從未經勘探的科羅拉多河上游一直航行到大峽穀穀底,他將一路上驚險萬狀的經歷,寫成游記,廣為流傳,從而引起美國朝野的注意,於1919年建立了大峽谷國家公園。現每年接待300多萬遊客。遊人可步行或騎上驢子,循小徑深入谷底尋幽探險,或乘坐皮筏在科羅拉多河的急流險灘上親歷驚險的樂趣,或者坐上觀景航班飛機,從空中俯瞰大峽谷雄姿。
景點列表:大峽谷、岩拱國家公園、印地安遺址公園、布萊斯公園、魔鬼庭園、峽谷景點、米德湖與鮑威爾湖、兩岸風光。
F. 美國大峽谷旅遊哪些景點不能錯過
鑒於我現在又無聊又煩,就來答題轉移注意力吧。
首先,大峽谷很大的,西面,南面,北面都可以進入參觀。
建議去南面,千萬別選西面,那是印第安人的自留地,坐個小飛機小船的,走個現在全國都有的玻璃橋,就打道回府了。北面地勢比南面高,人少些,居高臨下的很壯觀。但南面服務成熟,俯視景觀,人也多(但沒到國內人山人海的地步了),看個日出日落的很方便,居住選擇也多,(附近的威廉姆斯鎮就是賽車總動員里小鎮的模板,晚上熱鬧有風情,可以住那,還可以搭火車進入景區)
其實景點就是在裡面走走走拍拍拍,一小時後就審美疲勞了。。。
但周邊有些地方不要錯過,反正你都奔到大峽谷了,別浪費了腿程。可以住威廉姆斯鎮,看完峽穀日出中午去page落腳。途中會經過著名的馬蹄灣,沒孩子能走的就走去看看吧,天熱就別遭罪了。
看完馬蹄灣到page後休息好了可以去周邊很近的羚羊谷,上下羚羊谷選一個吧,都很美,人也很多,入谷前路上的沙子燙死人,千萬不要忘記換鞋(慘痛教訓就是忘記換鞋,腳踩著涼鞋在如同炒板栗的沙子上蹦躂著,努力忽視旁人看傻*的目光。。。)向趕鴨子一樣看完後可以回酒店休息了。然後選擇去紀念碑谷還是鮑威爾湖,反正就是先後問題不影響什麼。
強烈建議在紀念碑谷住一個晚上,一定要是在景區裡面,去都去了,可以選那兒的小木屋,建在紅色的荒原上,晚上在陽台看荒原星空,早上迎著日出沖入蒼涼的荒野,(說不定還能遇到帥哥裸奔),還可以在裡面自己煮飯吃火鍋(自帶),太美好了。
鮑威爾湖最好坐船,好像有中文講解。時間很長,奇幻浪漫。去都去了。。。
然後差不多可以北上從大峽谷北門去拉斯維加斯。中間會經過布萊斯峽谷(貌似周邊沒啥好酒店)和錫安國家公園,都值得一去,也不繞什麼路,可以網路下介紹,太困不想打字了。。
如果自由行自己開車,可以在到大峽谷時買個國家公園年票,絕對省錢,哪怕是印第安人的自留區景點沒有用,也省。
以上基本圍繞大峽谷一圈了,拱門公園因為跑得時長多些就沒寫了。
手打,好累,我真是個好人呀。。。。。。。。。。。。。
G. 美國大峽谷旅遊問題
