最近帶國外的親戚, 遊玩美國廣闊荒野的大西部, 及附近國家公園,包括世界著名的黃石國家公園。長時間沒有來了, 這裡東西便宜稅少,離開苛捐雜税民不聊生的加州,是一個大解放。我們在六月底去那裡,天氣非常好。
美國西部保留了一大片色彩鮮明的大地景觀,很難用圖片或視頻來表達,最好使用美國傳統的方式, 開車到處遊玩旅行用眼睛看,參加旅遊團看不到什麼。下面視頻也許讓你體會那裡靜態和動態景觀。
Route 211 是到 Canyonlands 州立公路, 音樂是從Clint Eastwood 的3部西部老電影, 荒野大鑣客...
原來Clint Eastwood 是我們 Piedmont High School的學生: (New version 2010.8.14)

Jackson Hole, Grand Teton 國家公園 2010
我們飛往鹽湖城,租一輛車,向北通過愛達荷州,6小時後到達懷俄明州。
我們在Jackson Hole 和Grand Teton國家公園玩3天,再去黃石國家公園, 請看以下是一些照片,視頻。
Jackson Hole is a valley surrounded by mountains contain rivers and streams. Grand Teton National Park occupies the north-western part of the valley encompassing much of the Teton Range as well as Jackson Lake. The town of Jackson is at the southern end. Between them lies the National Elk Refuge, home of the largest elk herd on earth. The Snake River threads through the entire valley from its headwater in Yellowstone in the north.

Yellowstone 黃石國家公園 2010
黃石公園是世界上最早的國家公園,成立於1872年, 面積達7988平方公里。黃石公園的景觀分三方面:熱氣地帶、黃石河流域、野生動物。在公園廣博的天然森林中有世界上最大的間歇泉(Geyser)集中地帶,全球一半以上的間歇泉都在這裡。這些地熱奇觀是世界上最大的活火山存在的證據。公園裏最大的河流莫過於黃石河了,它在公園東部,從南部的黃石湖出發,往北流時先是形成一條緩緩流動的小溪,然後突然俯衝下萬丈深淵至黃石大峽谷,形成上黃石瀑布和下黃石瀑布。黃石公園以熊為其象徵。園內約有200多隻黑熊,100多隻灰熊。

Great Salt Lake, Utah 大鹽湖 2010
大鹽湖(Great Salt Lake)是世界上最大的鹹水湖泊之一。其位於美國猶他州西北部,四面都是沙漠與乾旱山地。由於湖水主要由雨水和河水補給,面積變化較大,目前面積為3525平方公里。猶他州首府鹽湖城位於湖的東南岸。

Canyonlands 峽谷地國家公園 2010
峽谷地國家公園(Canyonlands National Park)佔地1366平方公里,位於猶他州的摩押(Moab)附近,它保留了一大片色彩鮮明的大地景觀,被 Colorado River, Green River及其支流侵蝕成數不清的峽谷、台地、及孤峰等地形。河流將公園分成幾大區:天空之島(Island in the Sky)、針峰(Needles)、迷宮(Maze)。這些區域都共同有一個原始沙漠氣習,而每一區也都各有特色。

Dead Horse Point 死馬點州立公園 2010
原來死馬點州立公園(Dead Horse Point State Park)名稱緣由一個典故;因為這兒的地形是峽谷高原頂上一處僅約300碼 的狹長高崖,周圍都是懸岩峭壁,19世紀時高原上的偷馬賊把偷來的馬驅趕到這兒,就在銜接高原的地方圍起柵欄,馬兒就無路可跑了。之後偷馬賊選擇帶走中意的駿馬離開,被留下的馬在炎炎乾燥的沙漠氣候下缺乏食物與飲水,只能躍向壁立千仞峻崖下的科羅拉多河墜崖而死。
英文故事是不同的:
The plateau is surrounded by sheer cliffs two thousand feet high, with only a narrow neck of land (30 yards wide) connecting the mesa to the main plateau. Thus it was easy for cowboys to simply fence off this narrow neck, and keep rounded up wild horses from running away. Legend has it that one group of horses was inadvertently left fenced in and eventually died of thirst.
