美國大峽谷旅遊規劃
『壹』 比較美國科羅拉多大峽谷和中國雅魯藏布江大峽谷旅遊開發現狀
目前正在開發
『貳』 美國大峽谷的規模是怎樣的
美國大峽谷位於美國西南部，亞利桑那州西北與猶他州、內華達州交界處凱巴布高原的三角地帶。由於科羅拉多河穿流其中，故又名科羅拉多大峽谷。這一大片隆起的高原，最深處達1500米，地形險峻綺麗，地質多由花崗石構成，色彩奪目，大峽谷是科羅拉多河的傑作，科羅拉多河流經大峽谷，將大峽谷分為北峰和南峰。南北峰相距只有十英里，但駕車需繞行5小時約215英里。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。」它是聯合國教科文組織選為受保護的天然遺產之一。
科羅拉多大峽谷的形狀極不規則，大致呈東西走向，總長349公里，蜿蜒曲折，像一條桀驁不馴的巨蟒，匍伏於凱巴布高原之上。它的寬度在6公里至25公里之間，峽谷兩岸北高南低，平均谷深1600米，谷底寬度762米。科羅拉多河在谷底洶湧向前，形成兩山壁立，一水中流的壯觀，其雄偉的地貌，浩瀚的氣魄，懾人的神態，奇突的景色，世無其匹。1903年美國總統西奧多。羅斯福來此游覽時，曾感嘆地說：「大峽谷使我充滿了敬畏，它無可比擬，無法形容，在這遼闊的世界上，絕無僅有。」
『叄』 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.
View from Grandview Point.
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.

『肆』 簡介美國大峽谷
大峽谷位於美國亞利桑那州。它是美國的國家公園，每年都有500多萬遊客前來觀光。在數百萬回年的漫長答歷史上，科羅拉多河緩慢流過並侵蝕這些岩石，從而形成了深彎的大峽谷。這里有好幾個美洲印第安土著民族部落，像納瓦霍人，霍拉人和哈瓦蘇人。他們已經在這里定居了好幾百年。這個公園佔地3064平方千米，長445千米。從岩石頂到河流的最深點為2千米；最寬處有29千米。這片峽谷如此之大，以至於走到谷中再返回需要整整兩天時間。如果乘坐竹筏在峽谷中旅行的話，那麼大約需要兩個星期。每年大峽谷都吸引著世界各地前去觀光的人。很多著名的美國電影都曾把大峽谷最為拍攝外景。
『伍』 美國大峽谷旅遊問題
美國科羅拉多大峽谷是冒險者得天堂科羅拉多大峽穀穀底寬度在200~29000米之間。早在專5000年前，就有屬土著美洲印第安人在這里居住。大峽谷岩石是一幅地質畫卷，反映了不同的地質時期，它在陽光的照耀下變幻著不同的顏色，魔幻般的色彩吸引了全世界無數旅遊者的目光。由於人們從谷壁可以觀察到從古生代至新生代的各個時期的地層，因而被譽為一部「活的地質教科書」。
『陸』 美國科羅拉多大峽谷遊玩建議
1、大峽谷的南緣，位於亞利桑那州Williams鎮的北方約100公里處。如果乘飛機，可以先抵達版亞利桑權那州的Phoenix(鳳凰城)和Flagstaff(旗桿)，以及內華達州的拉斯維加斯，然後乘班車、火車或自己開車，經Williams，至大峽谷。我們是選擇從拉斯維加斯租車，沿著美國40號公路(這是橫跨美國南部地區的主要洲際公路)，前往Williams。行程約220英里(1英里等於1.61公里)，開車時間約3小時40分鍾。
2、乘坐美國國內航班，要注意二點：一、每件托運行李，需要支付25美元。所以，不要帶大的必須托運的行李箱，尤其對需要轉機或往返的遊客來說，這是一筆不小的費用。盡量用可以隨身攜帶上飛機的小拉桿箱或背包。當然，這樣一來，體積較大的化妝品、沐浴露、牙膏等，就只能到目的地再購買了。二、美國有四個時區，按順序，即東部時區、中部時區、山地時區和西部時區，依次相差1小時。下飛機後，要及時核對機場大廳的時鍾，調整手錶，以免耽誤行程。
『柒』 美國大峽谷被稱為人生必去50地之一，為什麼說只有去過這里才能算是旅遊達人
美國大峽谷的地貌非常的奇特，各種岩石林立，甚至可以達到五十多層樓的高度，碧綠的湖水環繞著紅色的山谷，非常具有視覺沖擊力。峽谷的地勢也非常險峻，一般人很難攀援到峽谷下方，只有真正的旅遊達人才可以到達。
根據地理學家的說法，大峽谷已經歷了六百萬年的歷史，是地球上大自然的傑作。 它的輝煌和輝煌遠遠不能與普通的自然風景相媲美。 遊客可以步行或乘坐小毛驢，深入山谷探索冒險，或在科羅拉多河的急流中體驗刺激的樂趣，或乘坐觀光飛行，從空中俯瞰大峽谷。
『捌』 去美國大峽谷旅行，有哪些經驗和注意事項
隨喔全觸點，讓旅行更完美。
去大峽谷底下有簡單和困難倆種模式。
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。
——————————————————————————————————————
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。
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。

『拾』 去美國大峽谷旅行,有哪些經驗和注意事項
