Yosemite National Park, first translated as Yosemite National Park in Chinese, and later translated as Yosemite National Park, is translated as "Yosemite" is said to be because the Chinese who first experienced this park may be a Taiwanese compatriot, it seems that this guy is particularly fond of Yosemite milk tea, and other Chinese challengers like to call it Yosemite.

Yosemeti Park, located in east-central California, covers about 1,200 square miles and is known for its native forests, beautiful valleys and waterfalls.

A group of four people set off from Shirley's house in California, followed California Highway 1, after more than one hour, to a small town where gold diggers once lived.

In this small town, there are bits and pieces of the western gold rush that was the trigger for the great tide of development in the western United States in the forties of the last century.

Soon, after resting, the four of them set off again. This time, the driver was changed, and Brown and Shirley, who were driving at the beginning, switched to the co-pilot to take a break, after all, it still takes a lot of physical strength to climb the mountain later, and one person can't consume too much physical energy.

One hour later, the four men had entered Yosemet Park.

In fact, the entire interior of Yosemeti National Park is only accessible by foot, except for a few places that can be reached by car, such as the canyon scenic area in the southwest corner of the park.

So the four of them parked their cars in the parking lot and immediately began to divide all the necessary equipment and quickly began this outdoor challenge.

Along the way, everyone saw a lot of flat land specially carved out on the woodland, Jack introduced that this is a special place for tourists in need to prepare a concentration camp, and the park outside each tent door is specially equipped with a large iron box for tourists to store food, and it is strictly forbidden to leave any food in the tent.

"Why is that?" Zhao Yili asked a little strangely. Even Shirley didn't know much about it, so she tilted her head and looked at Jack.

Jack saw the beauty looking at him sideways, and naturally said with a little excitement:

"Actually, Yosemite means 'bear' in the Indian word. About 1,000 years ago, the Indians of North America entered this valley. Nowadays, visitors may also encounter grizzly bears and black bears in the park, because the park's shared restroom gates are posted inside and outside the door to "close the door to prevent the bear from entering". In order to prevent wild bears with a keen sense of smell from being tempted by the smell of food, a large iron box outside the tent was set up for this purpose. ”

Oh, Zhao Yili nodded admiringly, in the attitude towards wild animals, the attitude of China and the West is very different, if it is in China, for a long time, the first thing is to carry out the eradication of wild animals, in order to protect normal production and life, but there is no way, these countries in the West are vast and sparsely populated, and the country's economic development has been for a long time, and people and nature have a relatively better way to get along, and they cannot be forcefully criticized for the attitude of Chinese people towards animals. Fortunately, in recent years, China has gradually strengthened more scientific treatment methods in the treatment of wild animals and environmental protection.

In the midst of small talk, everyone gradually quickened their pace, and before noon, they rushed to the most famous HalfDome semi-circular mound in the entire park to rest.

The four of them hiked together with a group of three or two, a small group of seven or eight other travelers, and the mountain road between the woods stretched along the undulating mountain terrain into the distance, and in the early autumn season of late August, the scenery on both sides quickly changed. The core of Yosemite Yosemeti is a long, narrow valley that is only 7 miles long, but the scenery is highly concentrated. During this period of time, I have seen a lot of plants that should have been produced in different places.

The national park covers about 1,200 square miles, and although it is not very wide, about 20 miles wide, it is a long strip of terrain about 60 miles long.

Many of the travelers along the route are just here to see the scenery, and their itinerary is either focused on the beautiful but flatter areas, and do not set foot in the areas that climbers like.

Many of these travelers are elderly, and some of them also travel with their families with children, and travel with their families on vacation, which not only enhances family affection but also releases pressure, and in this regard, the Western corporate system is indeed much more humane than that of the East.

Two hours later, the group arrived at their destination, and at this time, the hour hand of Zhao Yili's watch just pointed to 12.

At the foot of the mountain, which literally translates to "Half Dome" or "Half Dome", there is also a large campsite, between which there are 20 square wooden tables and chairs for visitors to rest and eat.

The destination of rock climbers and mountaineers is to conquer her with their feet on the ground.

HalfDome is a huge granite mountain in the shape of a hemispherical area. It is the symbol of Yosemite National Park in California, USA, and is the source of TheNorthFace's brand logo.

The four of them just took up one of the tables, put down their bags, stretched out, and when they had recovered a little, they all sat down to lunch.

Jack took advantage of this break to popularize science to Zhao Yili and Shirley, who didn't know much about the situation here:

At nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, HalfDome is the second highest mountain in the national park, nearly 1,000 meters higher than the surrounding peaks, but still more than 1,200 meters lower than Mount Lyell, the highest point in the park. So when the sun sets over the horizon and the earth sinks into shadows, the smooth mountain walls of HalfDome shine alone in the sunset, which is spectacular.

The northwest wall of HalfDome is about 600 meters long and has a slope of 93% (the largest in North America), making it one of the most challenging climbing sites in the world.

As a result, Yosemite National Park attracts a large number of professional rock climbers from all over the world.

Today, there are several climbing routes on the northwest wall of HalfDome, but almost all of them are artificial, although HalfDome also has routes that are known for their difficulty such as the Southern Belle. In addition to the difficult challenge of climbing the large rock face itself, the rock quality of HalfDome also poses a number of obstacles to the summit. HalfDome is a granite texture, the rock wall is hard and smooth, and the athlete needs to have good flexibility, balance and skill, as well as good mental quality. If you slip underfoot, you will fall to the rock face and your skin will be cut by small gravel.

With that said, Jack put the topic back, and the four of them worked out a plan for outdoor activities for the two days, head to head:

The main goal of the four -

From p.m. to 8 p.m., Yosemite's more famous waterfalls include Yosemite Falls, Wawona Tunnel, Bridalveil Fall, El Capitan, HalfDome, 700-year-old giant cedar trees (Giant Sequoia), Browse all the scenic spots in the Yosemite Chapel except for the Chief Rock and the semi-dome, then take the time to rest in the tent area, and start climbing the semi-dome before dawn the next day, and see the fitness of everyone after descending the mountain to decide on the plan of the Chief Rock.

This arrangement is due to the fact that the semicircular mound is the highest altitude, and it takes about 10 hours to climb the rock, and because Zhao Yili and Shirley have to choose the back to reach the summit through the steel cable, the two professional extreme climbers like the Brown brothers have to deign to climb from the side with them.

An afternoon's time, soon passed, everyone finished the first few projects like a look at the flowers, the sky gradually got dark, four people returned to the tent hotel CurryVillage, because today is Thursday, the order, team, and even the whole family travel There are a lot of travelers, resulting in extremely limited tents, four people only booked two tents, not much for this, everyone does not care, people who often do self-driving tours and outdoor sports are clear, going out, The distinction between men and women is no longer as pronounced as it is in the cities.

Jack even smiled and pushed Zhao Yili on his shoulder, and entered his and Brown's tent with a strange smile, while Zhao Yili entered his and Shirley's tent a little helplessly.

Because they were about to leave at dawn, Shirley and Zhao Yili didn't talk too late, and they got into their sleeping bags early and rested.

At dawn.

The four of them are the first to set off in this group of travelers.

Soon, after crossing dense forests and a dry river full of cobblestones, the group came to a fork in the road, where the demarcation sign at the fork in the road, which read "ViaMistTrail" on the left and "ViaJohnMuirTrail" on the right, met about 3.5 miles from the end.

Just when Zhao Yili was still guessing the meaning of these two English, it was completely by instinct, Shirley took the first step and went straight to the fork in the road on the right.

No one knows how this fork in the "John Mill Trail" was named, but perhaps it was the first person to succeed in passing through it, and the name of the person who later reached the summit of the semicircle.

On this road, everyone walked through a big river, and when they passed the VernalFall waterfall, Jack was very warm and put a raincoat on Shirley's body, Shirley thanked him gratefully, and Brownjack and Zhao Yili rushed into the waterfall very manly, turning their very good man into a soup chicken.

After more than ten minutes of crossing the waterfall rain, only Shirley was the only girl who remained dry, and the three men had already turned into water people.

And when she crossed the second waterfall, Shirley also resolutely put the raincoat into the bag behind her, and showed her attitude of sharing weal and woe with the three brothers with practical actions, which made the three people immediately look at her with admiration.

After a lot of hardships, when the sun rises and the sun shines obliquely on the shoulders of everyone, four people have stood under the semicircular mound, looking up at the 140-meter-long steel cable, inlaid in the side of the semicircular mound eagle's beak, when the four people put down the backpack to drink water and rest to recover their strength, there are some tourists walking past everyone one after another, and they are also nodding and greeting friendly.

Zhao Yili responded enthusiastically to these strange and friendly greetings one by one.

Unconsciously, he, a teenager who came out of the mountain village, came to the county seat, went to the capital, the international free port, and the United States, the most developed country in the West.

Change may be painful and difficult, but you can't stop changing because you are afraid of pain and danger, and live forever in your own small closed world, so that sooner or later you will be abandoned by the world.

At about the end of the break, the four of them began to line up, so Jack took the lead, Shirley followed, Zhao Yili followed, and Brown finished and began to climb up the semicircular mound on the ropeway that had begun to line up one after another.

When climbing upwards, it is natural to meet people who have already reached the summit and are now starting to descend the mountain, and the default rule here is that those who go up will make way for those who come down first.

Mountaintop.

I thought that from the bottom of the mountain it should be the top of the mountain where the foothold is very limited, it is actually a big platform, from this angle I looked at the people who are still climbing the steel cable, just like looking at the ants on the ground, so insignificant, looking around, the mountains are towering, the clouds and mist are shrouded, there is really a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance, but this is not Mount Tai, but it is far more natural than the scenery of Mount Tai, because it is basically the original ecological scene, except for some necessary safety measures, there is no trace of development at all.

Some people say that those who often climb high will have a longer vision; People who often look at the sea will be broad-minded, and Zhao Yili believes it at this time.

From a certain point of view, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, the things that are pursued in the journey of life are the same at the beginning, but because of the influence of beliefs, culture, humanity, and living environment, there is a big deviation in the end, which is also a very helpless thing.

Going down the mountain is far more difficult than going up the mountain, and when she is halfway down, Shirley has to rely on Zhao Yili's help from time to time, and when the four of them come down from the mountain, Shirley is already exhausted, so in this trip, the part of Chief Rock had to be put into the next plan.

Two weeks after returning from Yosemeti.

Brown and the Jack brothers registered a company, mainly for investment, the company's first investment, almost all the funds were transferred to Japan, and now the most profitable business is Japanese real estate, and the financial investment team that has been planning in the local area for a period of time, ready to make a big impact on this project in a few years.

A ticket to Berlin took away Zhao Yili and the deep blessings of Shirley's family.

Zhao Yili didn't leave nothing, in addition to some good memories, what was more surprising for Shirley was that in addition to the blue streamer key, a car title ID paper with Shirley's name written on it completely transferred the blue streamer worth more than 70 tens of thousands of US dollars to Shirley's name, I believe that this night, for Shirley, is also a sleepless night.

At this point, the trip to the Americas is over, and the next chapter will open the European continent strategy!! Come on, I need your support!! Let's get some referral tickets! Collect!!
