放慢脚步,享受旅途! Slow down, enjoy the journey!

哈纳之路,毛伊,夏威夷

游客们经常把夏威夷和放松画上等号,但作为该地最著名的景点之一的哈纳之路,可能会让你紧紧抓住方向盘。这条公路沿着毛伊岛的北部海岸,从卡胡卢伊延伸到宁静的哈纳镇,全长64英里,有600多个弯道和许多单行道梁。行车途中需要集中注意力,所以不要忘记在郁郁葱葱的雨林和层层叠叠的瀑布前停下来放松一下。哈纳之路沿途的亮点包括天然小径、双子瀑布和怀阿纳帕纳帕州立公园的黑沙滩

Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii

With more than 600 curves and numerous one-lane bridges, it's best not to relax too much while navigating Hawaii's famous Road to Hana. It's hard to stay focused though, as the road winds its way through lush surroundings over 64 miles along the northern coast of Maui, from Kahului to Hana. Make a few stops along the way to get the best views of the rainforests and waterfalls that line the route. Popular attractions include the Waikamoi Ridge Trail, the easily accessible Twin Falls, and the black sands of Wai'ānapanapa State Park.

热气球升空日

今天是热气球升空日,一个致力于纪念布兰沙尔的成就的日子。布兰沙尔是一位法国的气球驾驶员及发明家,早在1793年,他就完成了美国历史上第一次载人气球航行,从费城飞往新泽西州的德特福德。自2011年起,每年的这一天人们都会热烈庆祝,以致敬这一空中壮举。在今天的图片中,太阳落在格兰德河的上空,照亮了新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基上空的彩色热气球。每年的10月初,人们从世界各地赶来齐聚一堂,参加为期9天的阿尔伯克基国际热气球节,这是世界上最盛大的热气球节,在这里,人们可以欣赏到经验丰富的热气球驾驶员熟练地操作他们的热气球。

Balloon Ascension Day

Up, up, and away! Today is Balloon Ascension Day, celebrating the anniversary of the first manned balloon flight in North America. French aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard's flight took him from Philadelphia to Deptford, New Jersey, back in 1793. Interest in ballooning took off from there and today, hot air balloon festivals take place across the country, including Albuquerque, where today's sunrise image was taken. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people attend the nine-day Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta—the largest hot air balloon festival in the world—to see skilled pilots expertly maneuver their baskets through balloon-filled skies.

锁金门 On cloud forty-nine

金门大,旧金加利福尼亚

金门大桥是人类建筑的奇迹,它像哨兵一样矗立在旧金山区的入口处。金门大桥被金门海峡水域上方的浓雾所笼罩,桥塔高达746英尺,塔身上有着充满艺术气息的装饰元素。这座大桥是工程师约瑟夫·施特劳斯、建筑师艾尔文·莫罗和其他许多人为连接旧金山和马林县而共同协作的结果。金门大桥被漆成国际橘,而大桥名字中的“金”则指的是桥下那片反射阳的金门海峡水域。这座桥于1937年向公众开放,但要建成这座大桥并不容易,尤其是在大萧条时期。不过因为它的建设雇用了数千人,间接促进了当地的就业和技术发展,所以付出还是得到了回报。光影变幻,时代变迁,金门大桥不仅成为了人类创新的证明,更是集功能性与美学于一体的永恒杰作。

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California

An iconic feat of engineering, the Golden Gate Bridge stands like a sentinel at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. Pictured here blanketed by fog above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, its towers, adorned with Art Deco elements, reach a height of 746 feet. The bridge opened in 1937, thanks to the efforts of engineer Joseph Strauss, architect Irving Morrow, and others who wanted to connect San Francisco to Marin County. It wasn't an easy vision to accomplish during the Great Depression, but the investment paid off as its construction created thousands of jobs and boosted growth. It was Morrow who picked the striking color, International Orange, an unusual choice at the time when many bridges were gray or black. He felt it would contrast well with the surrounding hills, sky, ocean, and fog. The Golden Gate Bridge, a testament to human innovation, is a timeless masterpiece blending functionality with beauty.

峦积 Snow, snow on the range

圆顶礁国家公园犹他

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.

红悬崖国家保护区,亚利桑那州

位于亚利桑那州的红悬崖国家保护区有层层叠叠的砂岩岩层、高耸的石柱和超现实的狭缝型峡谷。该保护区建于2000年,因该地岩层的主色调为鲜红色而得名“红悬崖”。一旦你获得了参观这一独特的户外景点的许可证,请一定要去参观波浪谷:这是一个令人惊叹的地质奇观,流动状的岩石层就像凝固的红色液体。该保护区的奇观还包括眼镜蛇拱门和由砂岩结构组成的白口袋岩层。白口袋的岩层不仅有交叉的层理和漩涡状图案,还有白色、红色和橙色等多种颜色。

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona features sandstone rock formations, towering hoodoos, and surreal slot canyons. The monument, established in 2000, was named after the vibrant red hues that dominate this sandstone landscape. Once you get a permit to take part in this outdoor excursion, make sure to visit the Wave. It's a stunning geological wonder, with flowing layers of rocks that look like red liquid that has been frozen in time. Other visual treats include Cobra Arch and the White Pocket rock formations, featuring swirling patterns in white, red, and orange.

不一样的热带雨林 A different kind of rainforest

绿色星期五

想象一下,你可以一天时间在森林里徒步,沉浸在郁郁葱葱的绿色空间中,而不是疯狂地检查节假日购物清单上的一件件商品。欢迎来到“绿色星期五”!它是“黑色星期五”的环保替代品,创立于2015年。在“绿色星期五”,我们鼓励人们在购物时做出更加理智的选择,拥抱大自然,拒绝冲动性消费。因此,请在这个绿色星期五让自己暂停片刻,投入大自然的怀抱吧!

奥林匹克国家公园的苔藓长廊位于华盛顿州的霍河雨林。这片雨林不同于大多数人印象中的热带雨林,它有一条短暂但迷人的环形幽径,是各类苔藓的家园,这些苔藓优雅地覆盖在雄伟的杉和铁杉上。去这里前请记得带件外套,因为这片森林是美国本土最潮湿的地方,年降雨量接近130英寸。难怪这里如此绿意盎然!

Hoh Rain Forest, Olympic National Park, Washington

Imagine spending the day hiking amid these moss-covered trees instead of frantically checking items off your holiday shopping list. Welcome to Green Friday, the environmental alternative to Black Friday. The aim is to encourage people to make ethical shopping choices—or to refrain from shopping altogether and embrace nature instead.

A good place to start is the Hall of Mosses at Olympic National Park, in Washington's Hoh Rain Forest. This fantastical landscape is a temperate rainforest with an enchanting loop trail through mosses gracefully draped over majestic spruces and hemlocks. Bring a jacket though; this forest is the wettest in the contiguous United States with an annual rainfall of nearly 130 inches. No wonder it's so green!

人少景美的静谧之地 Big on beauty, short on people

大提顿国家公园,怀俄明州

今天的图片让我们一睹大提顿国家公园的美景!该公园建于1929年,位于美国人口最少的怀俄明州,以壮丽连绵的山峰而闻名。园区内高耸入的巍峨雪山,与蜿蜒的蛇、纯净的水以及丰富的野生动物共同构成了一幅美丽的画卷。去这里的时候,要记得带上你的双筒望远镜!如果是夏天,一定要观察叉角羚,它们可是长途跋涉了约150英里才来到这里。此外,麋鹿和野牛也是这里的夏季访客。这些动物的迁徙不仅有助于植物种子的传播,还为其他捕食者提供了食物,这对大提顿国家公园的生态系统起着至关重要的作用。

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Today's image gives us a glimpse of beautiful Grand Teton National Park, in our least populous state, Wyoming. The park, established in 1929, encompasses lakes, the Snake River, and the Teton Range, famed for its series of sharp, jagged peaks. Bring your binoculars with you, and if it's summertime, be on the lookout for pronghorn, which travel about 150 miles to get there from Wyoming's Upper Green River Basin. They aren't the only creatures to visit seasonally; elk and bison are also summer visitors. These migrations play a vital role in the ecosystem of Grand Teton National Park. The animals help disperse seeds and are also food for predators.

该给靴子系上鞋带了! Time to lace up those boots

铜瀑布州立公园的巴德河,威斯康星州

朋友们,是时候系好登靴,一起去徒步了!早在20世纪60年代,美国的林登·约翰逊总统就签署了《国家步道系统法案》,旨在保护、推广和开发美国各地的自然和历史资源。还在犹豫去哪里徒步旅行?这里有一个选择:就是图上这座位于威斯康星州的铜瀑布州立公园。从巴德河沿岸那长达17英里步道,到瀑布和古老的熔岩流,这个公园有很多值得一去的地方。无论是崎岖的山路,宁静的林间小道,还是海滨步道,这个国家总有一条步道适合你。但请记住,一定要尊重自然,遵循“不留痕迹”的原则,除了照片什么都别留下。祝你徒步旅行愉快!

National Take a Hike Day

Take a hike, buddy! No, not the 'get out of here' version but the 'get out there' version. It's time to lace up those boots and take advantage of our national trails, which span over 91,000 miles. Back in the 1960s, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Trails System Act into law, to preserve, promote, and develop scenic and historic trails across the country. Can't decide where to start? Our homepage image offers up one option which is awash with fall colors—Copper Falls State Park in Wisconsin. With 17 miles of trails along the Bad River, past waterfalls and ancient lava flows, this park has a lot to offer. Whether it's a rugged mountain path, a serene forest walk, or an oceanside stroll, this country has a trail waiting for you. But remember to respect nature, follow 'leave no trace' principles, and take nothing but photographs. Happy hiking!

还不错的荒地 Not so bad lands

恶地国家公园纪念日

这张密集分层的图像是不是让你产生屏幕坏掉的错觉?这其实是南达科他州恶地国家公园里迷人的化石层,五彩斑斓的岩石层下隐藏着这片土地的历史,保存着古代马、骆驼、老虎和犀牛等动物的遗骸。这片以崎岖石阵和草原为装饰的不毛之地,主要是由沉积和侵蚀这两种相反的自然力量共同雕琢而成。红衬衫台,海拔3340英尺,是恶地国家公园内的最高点。该公园占地379平方英里,于1978年11月10日被指定为国家公园。如果你还想多方面地了解恶地国家公园,可以参观公园内的博物馆藏品,那里有超过360,000件物品等待你去探索!

Badlands National Park's 45th anniversary

The strange stripes in our homepage image reveal tiers of fossil beds in Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Beneath the multicolored surface lies the land's history, including the remains of ancient horses, camels, tigers, and rhinos. The barren landscape, dotted with pinnacles and prairies, was formed by two geological processes: deposition, where the layered rocks were gradually stacked up on top of each other by inland seas, winds, and rivers over millions of years, and erosion, which began about 500,000 years ago. The Red Shirt Table, at 3,340 feet, is the highest point in the park, which was established on this day in 1978. It protects 379 square miles of rocky buttes, pinnacles, and prairies. This inhospitable terrain was called 'Mako Sica,' or 'land bad' by the Oglala Lakota people, who have lived here for hundreds of years. Still thirsty for knowledge? Visit the national park's museum collection. There are over 360,000 objects that have a lot more to reveal!

这里,此生值得一去 This park is worth its salt

死亡谷国家公园加利福尼亚

沙漠烈日下,恶水盆地的盐滩绵延数英里,在加利福尼亚死亡谷国家公园内熠熠生辉。这里是北美海拔最低的地方,海报高度为-282英尺。在这个仿佛异世界般的景色中,坚硬的矿物表面像镜子一样闪闪发,炙热的高温在上面跳舞,空气中也掀起了涟漪。盐滩由氯化钠、硼砂和其他矿物质组成,脆弱的外壳下隐藏着一层危险的泥浆层。如果冒险越过盐滩,爬上坡,站在海拔近5500英尺的丹特观景台上,便可以看到恶水盆地的全景景观。死亡谷国家公园以其超现实的景观,为游客提供了一种真正独特的体验。尽管条件最为恶劣,但仍有一种奇特的美在这里绽放。

Death Valley National Park, California

Stretching for miles below the desert sun, the salt flats of Badwater Basin shine in Death Valley National Park, California. This sweltering spot is the lowest point of elevation in North America, 282 feet below sea level. In this otherworldly landscape, the hardened mineral surface glistens like a mirror as the scorching heat dances upon it, creating rippling waves in the air. Composed of sodium chloride, borax, and other minerals, the flats' brittle crust conceals a treacherous mud layer beneath. For those who venture beyond the flats and up a mountainside, Dante's View reveals a panoramic view of Badwater Basin from a height of nearly 5,500 feet. With its surreal landscapes, Death Valley National Park serves up unique beauty in the harshest of conditions.
