风蚀石们的问候 Hoodoo you do?

布莱斯峡谷 国家公园，犹他州，美国

在美国犹他州，布莱斯峡谷国家公园以其壮观的砂岩迷宫和独特的岩柱景观闻名于世。这里的历史可追溯至少10,000年前，曾是阿纳齐族人、普韦布洛人和派尤特人的家园。公园里的岩柱是由侵蚀作用形成的高耸岩石尖塔，在派尤特部落的创世神话中占据重要地位。根据传说，这些岩柱曾是“传说中的人”，因狡猾的郊狼施下的诅咒而化为石头。

18世纪末至19世纪初，首批欧洲裔美国人抵达这一地区，并在1850年代开始定居。布莱斯峡谷的名字源自埃比尼泽·布莱斯这一位早期定居者，他在峡谷附近拥有一块土地。1928 年的今天，布莱斯峡谷正式被指定为国家公园。如今，该公园以岩柱闻名，每年吸引超过 200 万游客前来欣赏这一地质奇观。事实上，布莱斯峡谷国家公园拥有地球上最密集的岩柱群，为游客提供了一场视觉盛宴。

Anniversary of Bryce Canyon National Park

A breathtaking maze of sandstone formations and awe-inspiring views awaits you at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. People have lived in this area for at least 10,000 years, including the Anasazi, Pueblo, and Paiute Peoples. The hoodoos—tall, thin spires of rock formed by erosion—in the park inspired Paiute mythology: They believed them to be the Legend People turned to stone by the trickster Coyote.

The first European Americans arrived in the area in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and some eventually settled there in the 1850s. Bryce Canyon was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who had a homestead nearby. On this date in 1928, Bryce was declared a national park. These days, the park is famous for its hoodoos. Every year, over 2 million visitors come to marvel at these geological formations. In fact, Bryce Canyon National Park has the highest concentration of hoodoos anywhere on Earth.

值得深思的高地 A point worth pondering

阿尔斯特罗姆角，鲍威尔湖

如果你向往壮丽的日落和令人惊叹的美景，不妨来到阿尔斯特罗姆角。阿尔斯特罗姆角位于犹他州南部凯恩县的格伦峡谷国家休闲区，海拔达4685英尺。阿尔斯特罗姆角主要由恩特拉达砂岩构成，与附近的罗马纳梅萨主峰及东侧的冈赛特山共享相同的地质起源。

作为鲍威尔湖地区的一部分，阿尔斯特罗姆角向南延伸至湖泊辽阔水域，位于帕德雷湾与沃姆溪湾之间。湖水蓄满时，阿尔斯特罗姆角高出水面近1000英尺，可俯瞰周围峡谷。鲍威尔湖横跨犹他州与亚利桑那州，每年吸引约300万游客前来。这片湖泊由深蓝色水流组成迷宫般的网络，蜿蜒穿过90多个岩石峡谷。湖泊的主要部分流经格伦峡谷，同时延伸至多个较小支流峡谷，以及埃斯卡兰特河与圣胡安河区域。

Alstrom Point, Lake Powell, Utah

If you're chasing sunsets and jaw-dropping views, come to Alstrom Point. Located in southern Utah's Kane County, this spot in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area stands at an impressive height of 4,685 feet. Made mostly of Entrada Sandstone, it has the same geological roots as nearby sites like Romana Mesa, its parent peak, and Gunsight Butte, another sandstone summit to the east.

Part of the Lake Powell region, Alstrom Point extends southward into the vast waters of the lake, in between Padre Bay and Warm Creek Bay. When the lake is full, Alstrom Point towers nearly 1,000 feet above the water, offering views of the surrounding canyons. Lake Powell, spanning across Utah and Arizona, attracts around 3 million visitors every year. The lake is a maze of deep blue water winding through over 90 rock canyons. While its main stretch runs through Glen Canyon, it also snakes into over many smaller side canyons, along with the Escalante and San Juan Rivers.

拱门国家公园周年纪念日

头顶一片蓝，脚踩一片红，在这里，目之所及处尽是红色。欢迎来到犹他州拱门国家公园！这片超凡景观的故事开始于6500万年前，当时这里是一片干涸的海床。随着时间的推移，地质力量扭曲和挤压着这片土地，将砂岩扭曲成隆起和凸起状态。再后来，风和水雕刻出了拱门，尖峰，鳍状岩和平衡石，也就是现在矗立在这片区域的这些岩石。公园里有2000多座天然石拱，是地球上此类地质结构最集中的地方。在今天的照片中，我们可以看到其中两座石拱：透过海湾拱门看到双拱门，双拱门中较大的那座拱门跨度为144英尺，高112英尺，是公园内最高、第二长的拱门。

大约在1万年前，人类踏足了这片区域。弗里蒙特人和古普韦布洛人一直在这里生活到14世纪。后来，犹他人和派尤特部落在该地区建立了家园。1929年，它被指定为国家历史遗迹。然而，直到1971年11月12日，它才成为一个国家公园。如今，每年有超180万游客来到拱门国家公园游玩。

Arches National Park marks 53 years

Red as far as the eye can see and clear blue skies overhead: Welcome to Arches National Park in Utah. The story of this otherworldly landscape started 65 million years ago when a dry seabed stood here. Over time, geological forces warped and squeezed the land, twisting the sandstone into lumps and bumps. Later, wind and water carved out the arches, pinnacles, fins, and balanced rocks that now stand in this area. The park has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the highest concentration of these structures anywhere on Earth. In today's image, we can see two of them: Double Arch, as seen through Cove Arch. The larger arch of Double Arch spans 144 feet and is 112 feet tall, the tallest and second longest of the park's arches.

Humans arrived in the area around 10,000 years ago. Fremont and Ancestral Pueblo people lived here until the 14th century. Later, the Ute and Paiute tribes made their homes in the area. In 1929, Arches was declared a national monument. However, it wasn't until November 12, 1971, that it became a national park. Today, more than 1.8 million visitors come to Arches National Park every year.

这里有“胡图”吗？

石林，日落点，布莱斯峡谷 国家公园，犹他州

让我们去石林旅行吧，犹他州的布莱斯峡谷国家公园就是我们的目的地。这座公园以摩门先驱埃比尼泽·布莱斯的名字命名，公园内有日落点，也就是今天图片中看到的石林。这些岩层是由霜冻风化和溪流侵蚀形成的，将石头塑造成超凡脱俗的地貌。日落点位于海拔8000至9000英尺的地方，可以一览红色、橙色和白色的石峰全景。其中最著名的是雷神之锤，这是一座石林，俯瞰着被称为“寂静之城”的公园的一部分。在日落点通往日出点的女王花园小径，你可以欣赏到更多美景和岩层，包括维多利亚女王石林。据居住在这一地区的派尤特土著居民所讲述的传说，石林是被狡猾的库伊特狐狸变成石头的罪人。无论你是徒步旅行者、摄影师还是普通游客，石林都在期待你的到来。

犹他州拱门国家公园

如果你想沉浸式感受在时光中漫步的滋味，拱门国家公园是一个绝佳的选择！该公园拥有2000多座天然石拱，数百座高大的尖塔、大型石鳍和巨大的平衡石，是世界上风景最优美的旅游胜地之一。在两平方英里左右的空间内囊括了不少壮丽景观，包括北窗拱门（最具人气的巨环之一），炮塔拱门和双拱门。而以伊甸园、大象丘（5653英尺高）和大象巡游等名字命名的景点对游客而言，则意味着这里永远不缺壮观的景色。

这个地区曾经是隐藏在数千英尺地下的广阔且干涸的海床。然而，随着时间的流逝，地质力量逐渐改变了这里的地貌，形成了我们今天看到的壮观景象。人类在这里探索和生活了数千年，大约2000年前，这个地区的游牧民族开始种植农作物。然而，因气候变化而加剧的环境问题最终导致了农耕活动的减少。

Arches National Park, Utah

If you fancy a stroll through time, Arches National Park is the perfect gateway! With over 2,000 natural stone arches, hundreds of tall pinnacles, large rock fins, and giant balanced rocks, this park is among the world's most scenic destinations. In the popular Windows Section, covering just over 2 square miles, there are spectacular rock formations including North Window, Turret Arch, and Double Arch. Others include Garden of Eden, Elephant Butte, a 5,653-foot summit, and Parade of Elephants, so visitors are never short of awesome sights to enjoy.

The region was once a vast dry seabed hidden beneath thousands of feet of earth but was gradually transformed by geological forces to become the spectacular space we see today. Humans have explored and lived in this area for millennia. Around 2,000 years ago, its nomadic inhabitants began to cultivate crops. However, environmental challenges, possibly aggravated by climate shifts, eventually led to a decline in farming activities.

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.

圆顶礁国家公园，犹他州

经过时间、风和水的雕琢，圆顶礁国家公园形成了色彩斑斓的峡谷、山脊，在这里可以一览美国西部的自然之美。富兰克林·罗斯福总统于1937年将该公园指定为国家纪念碑，并于1971年将其升级为国家公园。该公园因其巨大的岩石圆顶而得名，其外形与华盛顿特区著名的圆形大厅颇为相似。而水袋褶皱宛如海洋中的珊瑚礁，是旅行者穿越该地区的主要障碍。水袋褶皱被称为“地壳的皱纹”，是经过漫长岁月侵蚀而形成。这条长达100英里的单斜褶皱，形似阶梯，大约形成于5000万至7000万年前，由高耸的悬崖、狭窄的峡谷和色彩斑斓的岩层组成。

Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

Carved by time, wind, and water, Capitol Reef National Park showcases rust-hued cliffs and the natural beauty of the American West. The park was named after a series of Navajo sandstone domes said to resemble the US Capitol Building and the Waterpocket Fold, a huge ridge in the Earth's crust, which was referred to as a reef by prospectors. This 100-mile-long monocline—a step-like fold—is thought to have formed around 50 to 70 million years ago, and is home to towering cliffs, narrow canyons, and colorful rock formations. Capitol Reef was established as a national monument in 1937 and was designated a national park on December 18, 1971.

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument is an untamed wilderness of cliffs and canyons in the heart of southern Utah. The Grand Staircase is a sequence of five majestic sandstone cliffs, rising approximately 5,500 feet across the expanse of the monument. Each step records a different era in Earth's geological history, a vast showcase of changes over 200 million years. Archaeologists have found prehistoric artifacts, petrified wood, and dinosaur fossils which are over 75 million years old. In human history, the Ancestral Puebloan and Fremont people mastered the art of farming in this challenging terrain. They constructed granaries to store and preserve their harvests. Today, it is a popular getaway for nature enthusiasts and travelers seeking adventure.
