Section 930 Light love is like a wisteria blooming
readx;
There were two Japanese girls who were very bold and sat directly on the edge of the cliff, and Yunluo was shocked at that time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info most tourists are lying on the ground and poking their heads out to see, Yunluo also guarantees that he will not be close to the edge of the cliff within half a meter, it is really terrifying to see. Finally, when I left Horseshoe Bend and walked to the parking lot, I felt that my heartbeat slowly calmed down.
But Horseshoe Bend is really a must-see, Page Town is a center, and there are many beautiful scenery within 200 kilometers, such as Bryce National Park, Arches National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Monument Valley National Park, Wave Valley National Park, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Valley Indian Reservation.
Lake Powell, and of these, Horseshoe Bend is the closest one, only about 6 kilometers from the page.
After visiting Horseshoe Bend, I walked back and forth in the desert for more than two kilometers, I was hungry and tired, so I hurried to Walmart to purchase, and then went back to Page Town to the hotel I booked for lunch, rested, and waited until a little later in the afternoon before going out to Lake Powell.
The desert climate in Arizona is more powerful, a few days ago, Yellowstone was still 0 degrees at night, and in two or three days, the temperature at noon was close to 35 degrees. Lake Powell is because after the Powell Dam was built, the Colorado River was dammed into a large lake, similar to Lake Aswan.
It's just that Lake Powell winds in the canyon, forming a lot of narrow waterways, which can be seen from Google Maps +ā, wāww. out. To get to Arches National Park, you have to take Lake Powell by water and land by boat.
Lake Powell's national park entrance fee seems to be 25, the car needs to be prepared to sink next to the beach, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went down to find that a car was pulled up by a trailer, there are many private yachts and sailboats parked in the lake, and there are also a lot of RVs on the beach, and the way Americans enjoy life is more to travel with the whole family and the RV to get close to nature!
Saw a lot of tourists going to swim in the lake. Although Yunluo didn't wear swimming trunks, he also stripped himself naked and jumped into the lake, which was cool.
I wanted to watch the sunset at Horseshoe Bend, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up with the desert road that drove past and walked another 1 kilometer, so I just watched the sunset at Lake Powell, and there are the most typical sedimentary rock mountains in the western United States in the distance. The sun is sinking.
The shadow of the earth goes all the way to the east, the lake is the first to lose light, followed by the plain in the distance, and the most beautiful time is when the last slanting sunlight line pours on the fault on the side of the body, golden to light red, incomparably **.
When watching the sunset, let the mushroom family drive back to rest first, this side is about 8 kilometers away from the town of page, Yunluo will find a way to hitchhike for a while, the first time to hitchhike in the United States. I was also more apprehensive. Luckily, there were three Xiangjiang City aunts who were also here when they were shooting the sunset, and they chatted with Yunluo a lot.
After that, Yunluo also cautiously asked if they could take their jeep back, and the aunts deliberately cleaned up the back seat full of things and went back to Yunluo, grateful. They don't speak much Chinese, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu still chat in English, and the three aunts are also photography enthusiasts, and they will participate in the photography group tomorrow when they go to Antelope Valley.
Yunluo feels that there are two kinds of scenery in the trip. The first is that the photo is far from showing the beauty of the real scene, and the second is that the photo looks better when taken together. Most are the former. In all fairness, Antelope Canyon falls into the latter category.
The page hotel room where I stayed hung the most famous light of the Antelope Valley, and the vocabulary of Yunluo was relatively small, so I felt that it was more appropriate to use "dream" once, and I was looking forward to being immersive, and I was lucky. I was lucky enough to take that photo, but the real scene was not so colorful.
Antelope Canyon is the most densely populated area in the 41-day trip to the United States, a bit of a long holiday Huaguo scenic spot, Antelope Canyon belongs to the Navajo Native People's Reserve. The geological structure is red sandstone, and the rocks in the valley have been washed away by flash torrents into clear wavy lines, like a dream.
Antelope Canyon was closed for a time because it was a protected area and there was previous vandalism by tourists carving words on the rocks. Although it is open now, you must join a local group, and the ordinary group is cheaper, 48 dollars per person, and the photography group is almost twice as expensive.
The advantage of the photo group is that the tour guide will help clear the scene and open up a no-man's land to take pictures, and the above photo was taken in this situation.
In fact, Antelope Valley is not long, but because of the particularity of its topography, as well as the water-eroded rock streaks, and the fact that there will be sunlight from different angles to the rock walls at different depths, the light and shadow effect is unique.
The light in Antelope Canyon only appears at noon every day, and it is best to get closer to summer and when the sun is at an altitude angle. So remember to be in advance! Be sure to book your tour of Antelope Canyon in advance! And be sure to report the group that departs at 11:30 noon.
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's tour guide of this group is very nice, helped a lot to take pictures, Antelope Valley has a high density of people, so portrait photos are very difficult, almost to seize time and space resources, when mushroom mm also gave the tour guide more tips than others, the tour guide of the photography group will be more domineering.
He'll ask other guides to take their group out of an area and let the photographers with tripods have a blast! One thing I found when I traveled in the United States is that many people bring ordinary cameras, even card players, but they are keen to bring tripods, even card machines, even during the day, when the light is full. It's really a good job!
After coming out of Antelope Canyon, I returned to PAGE Town, picked up my car, had a simple meal of McDonald's, and then continued to set off for the next stop, which is also the highlight of the Grand Canyon, Highway 89 is closed below Horseshoe Bend, so it is necessary to divert 89t, and it will not detour a lot, just pay attention.
On the way to the Grand Canyon, I saw cumulonimbus clouds in the distance, which covered the entrance of the road on the east side of the Grand Canyon, but after turning into the Grand Canyon scenic area, the sky was harmonious and clear, and I have to say that when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time, it was still very shocking, and the vertical height here was nearly 1,000 meters.
Fortunately, it is not as vertical and steep as the cliffs of Horseshoe Bend, so many times it is possible to sit on the edge of the cliff and take pictures, in addition to the various observation decks, each observation deck guests can dig out the rocks on the edge of some cliffs with more powerful angles to see more shocking pictures.
The most spectacular is undoubtedly the Grandviewpoint, which not only has a surround view of nearly 270 degrees. There are also isolated rock pillars on the edge of the cliff to challenge your adventurous spirit, and the first thing you see at Yunluo is a large rock standing closest to the cliff at the edge of the canyon, and the sunset should be very good from that protruding rock.
So the next step was to find out how to get there, and the rock was very close to a stone on the edge of the trail below the observation deck, as if the same stone had cracked to form a gap of more than 4 meters. It's too hard to jump over. Alternatively, we reached the bottom of the gap between the two rocks and climbed the low, but completely vertical wall.
When I was a child, the kung fu of climbing the wall has not been wasted, and a squirrel growing horizontally in the rock gap can step on the feet, kick with both feet, and support the arms with force, and go up. Several tourists from behind stood on a stone 4 meters away and asked Yunluo if he had jumped over, and Yunluo would joke yes.
This unique rock climbed again in the Grand Canyon for the second time Yunluo came, and it was a familiar road. After the clouds went down, some young Westerners also found the same way to climb up, and three of the Swedish buddies sat in a row on the edge of the cliff and drank beer and began to wait for the sunset, they did not bring a camera, but took two random photos with their mobile phones.
It's more about chatting and watching with your eyes, the sunset of the Grand Canyon is extremely dreamy.
After watching the sunset, check in to the town at the south gate of the scenic area, holidayinnexpress, more than 200 dollars. It was the most expensive trip to the Western National Park, as the town was actually all about hotels and restaurants.
It was built for the Grand Canyon. Recently, it is also the peak tourist season, the room prices are very expensive, there is a heavy rain before arriving at the hotel, and I can't help but worry about tomorrow's sunrise.
Look, far away in the canyon, the clouds are burning. The sun god uses his scorching flame to dispel the cold and haze between heaven and earth, and the morning glow is so brilliant that the sunrise will be more beautiful. On this trip to the United States, there were only two days of waking up early (waking up before 6 o'clock). Once because of the hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque, and once because of the Grand Canyon sunrise today.
Get up and the little fool mushroom mm is estimated to be struggling, the alarm clock woke everyone up, Yunluo looked out the window, although there was a lot of luck, but it should not affect the sunrise, so I decided to go, and I didn't plan to go, but since I woke up, let's go and see it. It's not as cold out there as you think.
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu almost didn't wash their faces and hurriedly set off, asked the hotel front desk last night, the sunrise time is 6:20, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu set off at 6 o'clock, and arrived at Yavapaipoint that can be reached by self-driving vehicles 15 minutes later, which is the best sunset viewing point closest to the south gate.
There are still 6 minutes before sunrise, at this time the horizon under the clouds in the distance has seemed to burn, the most beautiful sunrise should be clouds, there is morning light, there are already quite a lot of people who get up early to see the sunrise, the shutter sound comes and goes, and those cameras with automatic transmission still flash extra flashes from time to time.
Everyone waited with bated breath for the golden star to appear in their horizon, just as every morning for billions of years.
The sun rises, the light in the face is extremely exciting, the crowd also cheers, the Grand Canyon is inlaid with a layer of red gold splendor, and the morning glow in the sky is also one after another. Gradually, the sun rises behind the dark clouds and disappears for a while, but in fact, the most beautiful part of the sunrise is 10 minutes before and after the horizon rises. I also kept talking about how beautiful it was, and I didn't get up early in vain.
On the way back after watching the sunrise, I saw a group of deer in the jungle, which was really pleasantly surprised, and then I heard from the staff that the probability of seeing deer in the early morning here is the highest, and when I came to the Grand Canyon again, I saw the deer at about 10 o'clock in the morning. I went back to the hotel and got some sleep.
I got up at 10 o'clock, set off after breakfast, and the weather was not optimistic at this time, so I hurriedly went to the grandviewpoint and began to look for other rock pillars near the cliff, experiencing the pleasure and fear of condescending.
To take this photo, you need to walk down the hillside for a while, Mushroom mm stands on the top and takes a bird's eye shot, when Yunluo sits on the edge of the cliff, according to Mushroom, a Western tourist standing next to her takes a deep breath, and then crosses "godblesshim" on his chest, Yunluo has gradually overcome his fear of heights, and the trick is to try not to look down.
Mushrooms are also affected by the falling clouds, and gradually dare to approach the edges of some of the less dangerous cliffs.
The rain gradually began to get heavier, the Grand Canyon was already cloudy and mist, wind and rain, less color, more magical breath, the rain was getting heavier, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu waited in the car for half an hour, seeing that the rain did not get smaller, they could only give up, leave the Grand Canyon in advance, and rush to Nevada along Highway 66 in the rain.
In the evening, check into Kingman, one of the more famous stops on Route 66. In the evening, the rain began to clear up, and the rainbow appeared in perfect place.
At night, I went to Walmart with mushrooms to buy fruits and instant rice, and when I was queuing up to check out, a couple in front of me had a large cart frame for purchasing, and they saw that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu had three or four things, and took the initiative to let Yunluo and Yan Shenyu check out first, which was really kind. My heart is warm.
Departing from Kingman in the morning, about two hours to Las Vegas in the Nevada desert, on the way also passed by the Hoover Dam, but Yunluo fell asleep at the time, completely unknowing, more than 20 days later, he walked the Kingman to LAS again, and then went to the Hoover Dam to see if Megatron was really imprisoned there.
In the opening sentence, it was said that the most insensible thing about Yunluo was Las Vegas, because of poverty! On the way to LAS, I have been listening to Mushroom MM say how Las Vegas is drunk, and when I go to that city, I will deeply sigh with a sentence of "It's good to be rich". Hotels in LAS are perhaps the best value hotels in the world.
Accommodation is basically a loss-making operation, low and high-quality accommodation is also to attract tourists, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu live in the MGM signature hotel, MGMSIGNATURE, should be the most luxurious hotel in this life, that suite, Yunluo Le! Almost anything imaginable can be found, refrigerators, induction cookers, bread makers, coffee machines, not to mention.
There is actually a juicer, cutlery in the drawer, knives, wine utensils, kitchenware, neatly arranged, the bathroom is larger than the usual motel room, super five-star quality, a night even tax only 120 US dollars, the same quality of the hotel is estimated to be at least 3000 bar.
