Colorado, which means "Red River" in Spanish. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The terrain is very different, which causes the river to be turbulent, probably because of the rain in the upper reaches of the river, which is mixed with a large amount of sediment.

Today, the Colorado River is red in color and meanders westward until it enters the ocean from California......

Due to the heavy winter snowfall at the northern end of the Grand Canyon, the northern end of the Grand Canyon is closed from the end of October to May 15 of the following year, including roads and any services, and visitors can only enter from the south side.

Han Xuan had never experienced real hiking, but this time he was interested, and following the advice of his guide, he decided to stay in the Grand Canyon for an extra day or two to experience the joy of trekking in the wilderness.

Other people come to the Grand Canyon for hiking, in order to protect the landscape, the number of places that can be entered is limited, and you need to make a reservation one to six months in advance, and there may not be a quota.

But Han Xuan made an exception, and after greeting the Geopark Management Office, they successfully entered the Grand Canyon.

Before coming in, the imagination was wonderful, but unfortunately the reality was not so interesting.

The bodyguards, including Secretary Dawson, who works out regularly, can accept this kind of intensity of hiking, but Han Xuan and Anya are more struggling.

In order to take care of the two of them, they often stop and go, find a shady place, rest for a while, and then continue walking.

In summer, the maximum temperature at the bottom of the Grand Canyon valley, up to 53 degrees Celsius, is not at all accessible to humans.

Today is 44 degrees Celsius, originally they thought it was already very hot, but after hearing the tour guide's explanation, they realized that it was now a lucky low temperature period, and it was estimated that it would rise again if it could not last for a few days......

All the way downhill into the canyon.

Han Xuan could no longer tell where he was, so he could only follow the path dug under his feet and walk forward.

Sometimes there are cliffs on all sides, and there is no exit in sight, but soon, the peaks and loops turn into a world again.

The Grand Canyon is a deep gully cut out of the Colorado River on a plateau.

The 2,000-meter-high stratum section is a real geological museum, telling the vicissitudes of life over hundreds of millions of years.

The bottom of the river is now the oldest stratum, 2.8 billion years old, and above it is a well-defined layer of strata that shows the great changes that have taken place here.

Having lived in a big city for a long time, Han Xuan and Anya are very uncomfortable with the thick dust on the North Kaibab trail.

The neat clothes at the time of departure were quickly covered with a layer of red dust, and when you stepped on the steps, the dust was everywhere.

It was just noon, the sun was high overhead, and most of the canyon had no place to hide from the sun.

Even with an umbrella, you can feel the overwhelming heat around you......

"Hey!

Look, there's a Grand Canyon pink rattlesnake there!"

The guide lowered his body and pointed to the rattlesnake coiled in a ball with a triangular head in the pile of rocks in the distance.

Han Xuan looked in the direction he pointed, the length of the snake was no more than one meter five, and its body was shining under the sun, with a faint pink color, which was not very obvious.

There was a chipmunk foraging in the grass, completely unaware of it, approaching the direction of the rattlesnake.

When the distance between the two was just over a meter, the pink rattlesnake unique to the Grand Canyon moved!

It attacked its prey so quickly that the rattlesnake had already bitten the chipmunk without looking closely.

The venom followed the rattlesnake's teeth and entered the chipmunk's body, and this cute little guy was destined to die not far away.

The pink rattlesnake of the Grand Canyon, allowing its prey to escape, spits out its forked tongue to collect the scent, and follows it without hurry.

It won't be long before the chipmunk will lose consciousness and die, and it just needs to pick it up.

A chipmunk is enough time for the rattlesnake to digest for days, during which time it can find a place to lie comfortably away from the hot sun outside, and no longer have to worry about finding food......

Fat Ding, Pooh and Barry, who didn't come with them this time, flew directly to Los Angeles today, and then someone will send them to the Snow Mountain Zoo in Monterey Bay to be examined by experts.

The temperature in the Grand Canyon is too high for them to play, and in a few days, Han Xuan will go to Ganbao Marine Ranch to look for them......

It's an animal paradise, with raccoons, reindeer, bobcats and mountain dogs often spotting along the way.

After walking a little further, I was lucky enough to see a mountain lion, which is also known as a cougar.

It is very similar to the black alienated jaguar raised by Han Xuanyang in appearance, the biggest difference is that the cougar has no patterns on its body, while the jaguar does.

Walking in the Grand Canyon, pay special attention to your surroundings.

If you are bitten by an animal such as a pink rattlesnake in the Grand Canyon, it is no joke, maybe because the rescue is not timely, it will hang here......

Step on the reddened soil under your feet and keep going.

There was no wind in the valley today, the hot air was sinking, like a stove, and they were all sweating profusely.

Seeing that Anya's face was so hot that her face turned red, she asked, "How are you, do you want to stop and rest for a while and drink some water?"

"It's okay, I'...... Just feel hot.

It's acceptable to wait until you're tired before resting. Anya replied that the experience was interesting to her at the moment, with a smile on her face.

"Then drink some water.

Be careful of dehydration, you don't know yet, if you have heat stroke, you will be in trouble. ”

As Han Xuan spoke, he beckoned to Owen behind him and asked him to take a bottle of water from his bag for himself.

Almost every half hour, you come across a makeshift supply station, so there's no need to worry about running out of clean water.

After a century of development, the Grand Canyon has been preserved as a popular holiday destination, attracting millions of visitors from all over the world each year.

Upstream, a rapids boat came by riding the wind and waves, and the extreme sports enthusiast on board shouted a word to greet them.

On the way, he met many such people, and Han Xuan, who responded to him with his hands high, also wanted to play that, but the bodyguards thought it was dangerous and did not allow him to play torrent.

Hiking in the Grand Canyon is already the limit they can accept......

Physical fatigue is exchanged for psychological enjoyment.

By the time we arrived at the Bright Angel Camp, it was already evening, and the Grand Canyon had changed color again.

After a simple bath, he enjoyed a dinner that didn't taste very good, Han Xuan was sweating profusely, and the bath was in vain.

During the tour, talk to travel enthusiasts from all over the world about your experience of hiking in the Grand Canyon.

The body was too tired, and there were blisters on the feet, and after Secretary Dawson helped the little boss pick them out, he also took off his socks to deal with the blisters.

After taking some time to set up their tents, they planned to get a good night's rest.

But when it got dark, a strong wind rose in the valley, and the wind whistled in the sand and dust, and beat the tents heavily.

The wind also carried the heat, turning the entire camp into a huge oven, and each tent was like aluminum foil, specially used to package Han Xuan's "food".

The wind comes and goes fast.

Han Xuan lay in the dark and stuffy tent, unable to sleep for a long time, thinking that he had taken the wrong medicine and came to find guilt.

Hearing Anya beside her, muttering because it was too hot, in order to let her sleep well, Han Xuan took a fan to help her fan the wind.

As the night deepened, the temperature in the Grand Canyon gradually dropped to about 20 degrees Celsius, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

The night went on like that.

When dawn came, an extremely embarrassing scene occurred in this black tent in the camp of the Angels of Light...... (To be continued.) )
