火焰谷州立公园，内华达州

在内华达州干旱广袤的莫哈维沙漠中，坐落着壮观的火焰谷州立公园。该公园占地46000英亩，得名于火红色的阿兹台克砂岩，这是一种侏罗纪早期的地质地层，由古老的沙丘组成。公园最大的亮点是“火浪”，这是一个地质奇观，表面有着红色、粉色和白色的条纹，看上去就像冰冻的波浪。

漫步在公园中，您将会看到神秘的岩画，这是一种在岩石表面刮刻而成的岩画，出自古普韦布洛人之手，他们是住在附近莫瓦帕山谷的农民。岩画上的内容，可能是古普韦布洛人在该地区进行狩猎和宗教仪式。如果您是历史爱好者，不妨尝试破解刻在岩壁上的神秘信息。穿上你的徒步鞋，向火焰谷州立公园出发吧！

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Amid the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in Nevada lies the natural grandeur of the Valley of Fire State Park. This park, which stretches across 46,000 acres, is named after the fiery red Aztec Sandstone, an Early Jurassic geological formation of made up of ancient sand dunes. The park's highlight, Fire Wave, is a geological marvel that appears like a frozen wave with its red, pink, and white stripes.

In the park, you will come across mysterious petroglyphs, rock carvings made by scratching on the rock's surface, left by the Ancestral Puebloans, who were farmers from the nearby Moapa Valley. It is likely they practiced hunting and performed religious ceremonies in this area. If you are a history buff, you might want to try and decode the cryptic messages carved on the rock faces. Well, put on your hiking shoes and get ready to wander, to wonder, and to witness the Valley of Fire State Park.
