一抹金色 Golden glimpses

郊狼峡谷，格兰峡谷休闲区，犹他州

在犹他州郊狼峡谷天然拱门的衬托下，生机盎然的金色白杨树与埃斯卡兰特峡谷地区色彩斑斓的岩层相映成趣。郊狼峡谷是著名的背包旅行目的地，这里有高耸的垂直峡谷壁、狭窄的缝隙峡谷、穹顶、拱门和天然桥梁。峡谷的上游位于大阶梯埃斯卡兰特国家纪念区内，而今天的图片展示的是峡谷下游的格兰峡谷休闲区。这个休闲区成立于1972年。由美国国家公园管理局管理，是一个兼顾休闲和保护的保护区。与主要侧重于自然保护的国家公园不同，格兰峡谷休闲区会提供各种设施，包括四个公共露营地、两个小型机场和几家游艇租赁服务公司，因此成为了游客的热门目的地。

一路到顶峰 All the way to the top

欧洲公园日

今天是欧洲公园日！1909年的今天，欧洲最早的九个国家公园在瑞典成立。今年的庆祝活动聚焦于保护区在制定和实施自然政策方面的重要作用。此外，庆祝活动还强调了保护区如何为欧洲公民建设一个可持续发展和具有复原力的社会做出贡献。从本质上讲，这些地区不仅仅是生物多样性的守护者；它们也是我们集体福祉的支柱，提醒我们保护自然遗产。

今天的图片展示的是位于西班牙东北部比利牛斯山脉的奥德萨山国家公园，建立该公园的主要目的是保护周边地区的高山景观。该地区地形崎岖，以石灰岩地貌为主，还有大量的喀斯特地貌，包括天坑和洞穴。

European Day of Parks

Today is European Day of Parks! On this day in 1909, Europe's first nine national parks were founded in Sweden. This year, the celebration highlights how protected areas help shape nature policies and contribute to building sustainable societies. These areas are more than just guardians of biodiversity; they are also pillars of our collective well-being, reminding us to preserve our natural heritage.

Today's image showcases Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park in the Pyrenees Mountains of northeastern Spain. The park was established with the primary aim of preserving the high mountain landscape of the surrounding region. Characterized by its rugged terrain, the area has limestone formations and a plethora of karst features, including sinkholes and caves.

鱼河大峡谷，纳米比亚

从世界上最古老的沙漠——纳米布沙漠，到奇妙的箭袋树森林，南非的纳米比亚拥有许多宝藏旅游景点。该国家最长的河流——鱼河，在数百万年的时间里侵蚀出了欧洲大陆最大的峡谷：鱼河大峡谷，它长约100英里，深约1800英尺，蜿蜒曲折，穿过风化的片麻岩层和白云岩。作为纳米比亚的热门景点之一，鱼河大峡谷以其长达50多英里的徒步小径和“鱼河峡谷超级马拉松比赛”吸引了无数探险者。此外，峡谷里还生活着哈特曼山斑马、山羚、东部岩象鼩等大大小小的生物。无论您是来轻徒步、远足、露营或者只是欣赏美景，鱼河大峡谷一定会让您终身难忘的。

Fish River Canyon, Namibia

The longest river in Namibia—the Fish River—has carved out Africa's largest canyon over millions of years. Winding through weathered layers of gneiss and dolomite rocks, the Fish River Canyon is around 100 miles long and about 1,800 feet deep. Its hiking trail stretches for more than 50 miles, attracting adventure seekers and ultramarathon runners. Moreover, with Hartmann's mountain zebras, klipspringers, and eastern rock elephant shrews, the canyon is teeming with creatures big and small. So, whether you are there for hiking, trekking, camping, or just soaking in the scenery, one thing's for sure: Fish River Canyon is a catch you won't soon forget.

布莱斯峡谷国家公园，犹他州

徒步是游览犹他州布莱斯峡谷国家公园这些迷人的红色石柱的最佳选择！公园里的徒步小径可以引导您穿行于世界上最大的石柱岩群之间，这些石柱是由侵蚀作用形成的岩石尖顶。这些马蹄形的天然露天剧场会随着阳光的照射而变化，营造出了一种超现实的景观。该地区最初居住着美洲原住民部落，包括派尤特人。虽然没有证据表明他们曾在此长期居住，但派尤特族印第安人曾利用庞沙冈特高原进行季节性狩猎和采集。布莱斯峡谷于1928年被指定为国家公园，峡谷内分布着多个观景点，如灵感点、约文帕点和彩虹点，可将周围的景致尽收眼底。

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

These fascinating red hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah are best explored on foot! The park's hiking trails guide you among the world's largest collection of hoodoos, which are rock spires formed by erosion. The horseshoe-shaped natural amphitheaters create a surreal landscape that changes with the play of sunlight. The area was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Paiute people. Although there is no evidence of them having lived there permanently, Paiute Indians used the Paunsaugunt Plateau for seasonal hunting and gathering. Designated a national park in 1928, Bryce Canyon is dotted with several viewpoints like Inspiration Point, Yovimpa Point, and Rainbow Point, which offer panoramic vistas of the surrounding topography.

尽情地嬉戏玩水吧！ Get your splash on

瓦克莱拉瀑布，俄勒冈州

在俄勒冈州一处狭缝型峡谷的尽头，有一个特别的地方正等待着徒步旅行者去探索：瓦克莱拉瀑布。其水源来自哥伦比亚河的支流坦纳河，这个瀑布的名字是由马扎马登山俱乐部的成员以美国原住民村庄的名字命名的。走到步行道的尽头，游客可以观赏到壮观的两级瀑布，水流从350英尺高的地方坠落到下面的水潭中，而这个水潭正是一个绝佳的玩水、纳凉胜地，当你在里面游泳的时候，可别忘了留意附近的水鸫（也被称为美洲河乌），这是一种以瀑布为家的鸟类。人们可以看到它们沿着溪流飞翔，偶尔也会潜入水中。

Wahclella Falls, Oregon

Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, there's something special awaiting hikers: the Wahclella Falls. Fed by Tanner Creek, a tributary of the Columbia River, these waterfalls were named after a Native American village by members of the Mazama Mountaineering Club. At the end of a trail, visitors can see the spectacular two-tiered cascade that crashes down 350 feet into a pool below, which is the perfect place to take a dip and cool off. While you're swimming, keep an eye out for the water ouzel—also known as the American dipper—a species of bird that lives here. They can be spotted flying along the stream and occasionally diving into the water.

风景如画的瀑布

辛华达瀑布，贾斯珀国家公园，加拿大

辛华达瀑布位于加拿大艾伯塔省贾斯珀国家公园，落差约为18.5米。从著名的冰原大道下来，通过一条600米的通道便可到达该瀑布。

辛华达瀑布位于通往班夫国家公园的冰原大道旁边，由上下两个瀑布组成，水源来自阿萨巴斯卡冰川融水。上瀑布可以从观景停车场轻松到达，落差约18米。再走过一条长1.3公里的步道、穿过松树林，就到了下瀑布。辛华达瀑布的最佳参观时间是春末或初夏，那时是融雪的高峰期，也是瀑布水量最大的时候。

一睹最壮观的峡谷 A glimpse of the grandest of canyons

大峡谷国家公园，美国亚利桑那州

今天是美国国家步道日，也是远足的最佳时机，也提醒大家要保护远足路线，让每个人都能享受这份快乐。想找个绝佳的地方活动活动吗？今天照片里位于大峡谷的南凯巴布步道就是个好去处。这条路线从被称为“烟囱”的急转弯开始，通向一个陡峭狭窄的下坡路，等待你的将是一次令人振奋的旅程。新鲜空气和运动可以改善你的情绪和睡眠，增强体力和耐力，并降低患心脏病的风险。此外，环境的变化还可以激发创造力，启发新思路。

National Trails Day

Today is a great day to take a hike! Each year, National Trails Day brings together nature lovers, government agencies, and businesses to preserve hiking trails for everyone to enjoy. Looking for a stunning spot to stretch your legs? We suggest South Kaibab Trail in the Grand Canyon, seen here. The trail starts with a series of switchbacks known as 'The Chimney,' which leads to a steep, narrow descent—prepare for an invigorating workout! All that hard work will pay off though—fresh air and exertion can boost your mood, improve sleep, and reduce the risk of heart disease. Not to mention the panoramic views you can enjoy from the trail's scenic viewpoints.

这个隐秘的瀑布在哪里？ Where is this hidden waterfall?

哥伦比亚河峡谷的瀑布，俄勒冈州，美国

俄勒冈州的哥伦比亚河峡谷中有大约90个瀑布，苔藓石窟瀑布就是其中一个高20英尺的迷你瀑布。苔藓石窟瀑布于2006年被发现，经由几位著名摄影师而名声大噪。与幽雅清静、潺潺作响的苔藓岩洞瀑布形成鲜明对比的，是世界上最高的瀑布——委内瑞拉的天使瀑布，其落差高达2648英尺，汹涌咆哮的奇观令人惊叹，是委内瑞拉最吸引游客的景点之一。如果你想要放松沉思片刻，建议寻找距离最近的瀑布，然后踏上亲近大自然的旅程吧。

Mossy Grotto Falls, Oregon

Mossy Grotto Falls is a tiny 20-foot waterfall in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge, home to around 90 waterfalls. This winsome waterfall became popular in recent years after several renowned photographers snapped it following its discovery in 2006. Waterfalls around the world draw our attention and inspire emotions (and even themes for pop songs). In contrast to the serene, burbling Mossy Grotto Falls, Angel Falls in Venezuela is the tallest in the world, where water plunges 2,648 feet before reaching the ground. This roaring wonder is awe-inspiring and one of the top tourist-draws in the country. If you need a moment of reflection, we recommend searching for the nearest waterfall and taking a trip to connect with nature.
