未选择的路 The road not taken

国家公园周活动继续开展

随着美国国家公园周活动的开展，让我们一起去田纳西州的大雾山国家公园走走吧！该公园成立于1934年，占地面积超过522,419英亩。这座公园的大部分地区都被森林覆盖着，是1500种开花植物、952种藻类、65种哺乳动物和240多种鸟类的家园，大雾山国家公也因此成为了国际生物圈保护区。

在今天的照片中看到的开字山凹是大雾山国家公园内的一个山谷，以其迷人的风景和历史建筑（包括小木屋、谷仓和教堂）而闻名。在探索公园的同时，你还可以参观咆哮叉机动车自然小径、卡特罗基山和埃尔克蒙特等历史名胜。如果你想看萤火虫，埃尔克蒙特就是你的不二之选。如果你是一名地质学家，这里也有适合你的东西：这个公园是前寒武纪晚期岩石的家园。所以，释放你的冒险精神，与其他人一起去探索国家公园吧！

National Park Week continues

As National Park Week unfurls its green banners, let's take a stroll down Sparks Lane, in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Established in 1934, the park encompasses over 522,419 acres of wilderness, mostly covered with forests. It is home to 1,500 species of flowering plants, 952 algae, 65 species of mammals, and over 240 species of birds, making it an International Biosphere Reserve.

Cades Cove—seen in today's photo—is a valley renowned for its scenery and historic structures, including log cabins, barns, and churches. While exploring the park, you can also visit historical areas like Roaring Fork, Cataloochee, and Elkmont. If you wish to watch fireflies, then Elkmont is the place for you, and if you are a geologist, there's something for you too: This park is home to late Precambrian rocks. So, set your spirit of adventure free and join others to celebrate the timeless American treasure: national parks!
