大峡谷国家公园105岁生日

祝大峡谷国家公园生日快乐！今天是由亚利桑那州科罗拉多河雕刻而成的著名峡谷的一个里程碑：自伍德罗·威尔逊总统于1919年将其指定为国家公园以来，已经过去了105年。大峡谷是由河流、风和山体滑坡形成的独特景观，它的起源可以追溯到500万到600万年前。大峡谷承载着印第安人、欧美拓荒者和旅行者的故事，还有陡峭的山谷和五颜六色的岩层等地质奇观。所有的这些区域都由国家公园管理局监管。除了在科罗拉多河上巡游、参加时光之路徒步旅行或登上沙漠景观瞭望塔等旅游冒险活动以外，该公园还是联合国教科文组织指定的世界遗产和注册在案的国际黑暗天空公园，你可以在这里观赏到清澈的星空。

Grand Canyon National Park turns 105

Happy birthday to Grand Canyon National Park! It's been 105 years since this Arizona landmark was designated a national park by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The origins of this exceptional landscape, carved by the Colorado River, wind, and landslides, date back up to 6 million years. Alongside its steep valleys and colorful rock formations, the canyon holds the stories of Native Americans, European, and American pioneers—the oldest human artifacts found here date back nearly 12,000 years. In addition to tourist adventures such as cruising on the Colorado River, joining the Trail of Time walking tour, or climbing up to the Desert View Watchtower, the park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a registered International Dark Sky Park for crystal-clear stargazing.
