Chapter 93: Light love is like a wisteria blossom

Two Japanese girls were very brave and sat directly on the edge of the cliff. Yunluo was shocked at the time. Most tourists lay on the ground and poked their heads out to see. Yunluo also promised that he would not get close to the edge of the cliff. He was really frightened. Finally, when he left Matiwan and walked towards the parking lot, he felt his heartbeat slowly calmed down.

However, Horseshoe Bay is really a must-see place. Page Town is a center and has many beautiful scenery within 200 kilometers of surrounding areas, such as Bryce National Park, Arch National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Monument Valley National Park, Wave Valley National Park, Horseshoe Bay and Antelope Valley Indian Reservation.

Lake Powell, and among these, Horseshoe Bay is the closest, only about 6 kilometers away from the page.

After strolling around Horseshoe Bay, I walked back and forth in the desert for more than two kilometers. I was hungry and tired. I quickly went to Walmart to purchase, then went back to Page Town to have lunch and rest in the hotel. I waited until I was a little late in the afternoon before going out to Lake Powell.

The desert climate in Arizona is quite strong. A few days ago, Yellowstone Park was still 0 degrees at night. After two or three days, the temperature at noon was close to 35 degrees. Lake Powell was blocked into a large lake, similar to Lake Aswan.

However, Lake Powell winds and turns in the canyon, forming many narrow waterways. You can see from Google Maps +√,w≈ww. Go out. You have to take a boat to the water and land transportation of Lake Powell.

The ticket to the National Park of Lake Powell seems to be 25. The car needs to be prepared to get stuck when driving to the beach. When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went down, they found that a car was pulled up by a tow truck. Many private yachts and sailboats were parked in the lake, and many RVs were also built on the beach. The way Americans enjoy life is more about the family traveling with old RVs and getting close to nature!

I saw many tourists swimming in the lake. Although Yun Luo did not wear swimming trunks, he also stripped himself naked and jumped into the lake. It was so cool.

I wanted to watch the sunset in Horseshoe Bay, but I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with the desert highway that I drove over and walked another 1 kilometer, so I was so mean to watch the sunset in Lake Powell. There are the most typical sedimentary rock mountains in the western United States in the distance. The sunset gradually sinks.

The shadow of the earth goes eastward, and the lake loses its light first, followed by the plains in the distance. The most beautiful time is when the last ray of setting sun pours on the faults on the side of the body, golden to light red, extremely red.

When I watched the sunset, I asked Mushroom and the family to drive back to rest first. It was only about 8 kilometers away from Page Town. Yunluo would find a way to take a ride in the future. It was the first time I took a ride in the United States. I was also quite nervous. I was lucky. I happened to have three aunts from Xiangjiang City who were also here when I was shooting the sunset. I had a lot of chatting with Yunluo.

Afterwards, Yunluo also asked carefully if she could take their jeep back. The aunts specially packed the back seats full of things and Shunyunluo returned, and they were very grateful. They didn't speak much in Mandarin, and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were still chatting in English. The three aunts were also photography enthusiasts. The ones they would go to Antelope Valley tomorrow will be the photography group.

Yunluo felt that there were two kinds of scenery during travel. One is that the photos were far from showing the beauty of the real scene, and the other was that the photos were better when taken. Most of them were the former. To be fair, Antelope Valley belonged to the latter.

The most famous light from the Antelope Valley was hung on the page. Yunluo had fewer vocabulary. He thought it was more appropriate to use "dream" once. He also looked forward to being there and having good luck. He was lucky enough to take that photo, but the real scenes were actually not as rich in color.

Antelope Valley is the largest population density area I visited during the 41-day trip to the United States. It tastes like the Chinese scenic spot during the National Day holiday. Antelope Valley belongs to the Navajo Aboriginal Reserve. The geological structure is red sandstone, and the rocks in the valley are washed away by mountain torrents and have a clear wavy line like a dream.

Because it belongs to a reserve and the destruction of tourists writing on rocks before, Antelope Valley was once closed. Although it is open now, you must join a local group. Ordinary group is cheaper, $48 per person, and the photography group is almost twice as expensive.

The advantage of the photography group is that the tour guide will help clear the field and open up an unmanned area to take photos. The above picture was taken in this situation.

In fact, Antelope Valley is not long, just because of its special terrain, water-corrosive rock stripes, and sunlight hits rock walls at different angles, so the light and shadow effect is unique.

The light in Antelope Valley only appears at noon every day, and it is best to get closer to summer and the higher the sun's altitude angle, the better. Therefore, remember to prepare the tour in Antelope Valley in advance! And you must report the tour that sets off at 11:30 noon.

The tour guides of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are very nice and have helped to take photos of them. The crowds in Antelope Valley are very dense, so portrait photography is very difficult. They are almost seizing resources in time and space. When Mushroom mm also gave the tour guide more tips than others, the tour guides in the photography group will be more domineering.

He would ask other tour guides to take their team away from a certain area and then let those photography enthusiasts with tripods take a good time! I found that when traveling in the United States, many people brought cameras that are actually ordinary, even card machines, but they are keen on bringing tripods. Even card machines, even when there is sufficient light during the day, they will use tripods. It is really exciting!

After coming out of Antelope Valley, I returned to Page Town, took my car, had a simple meal of McDonald's, and then continued to set out for the next stop. It was also the highlight of Grand Canyon. Highway 89 was closed below Horseshoe Bay, so I had to divert to 89t and I wouldn't take many more roads, just pay attention.

On the way to the Grand Canyon, I saw cumulonimbus clouds from afar, covering about the entrance to the highway on the east side of the Grand Canyon. However, after turning into the Grand Canyon scenic area, the sky was harmonious and clear. I have to say that when I first saw the appearance of the Colorado Grand Canyon, I was still very shocking. The vertical height here is nearly 1,000 meters.

Fortunately, it is not as vertical and steep as the Horseshoe Bay Cliff, so you can often sit on the edge of the cliff and take photos. In addition to each observation deck, guests of each observation deck can discover some of the stones on the edge of the cliff with a more awesome perspective to see a more shocking picture.

The most spectacular one is undoubtedly the grandviewpoint, which not only has a surround view of nearly 270 degrees. There are also some isolated rock columns on the edge of the cliff to challenge your adventure. Yunluo first saw a large rock standing near the cliff at the edge of the canyon. It would be very good to see the sunset from that protruding rock.

So the next step is to find out how to get over it. The rock is very close to a stone on the side of the trail below the observation deck, like the same stone cracked and formed, with a gap of more than 4 meters. It is too difficult to jump over it. Find another way, first groping down below the gap between the two stones, and then start climbing the stone wall, which is not high but completely vertical.

When I was a child, I had never lost my skills in climbing the wall. In addition, a squirrel growing horizontally in the rock gap could cushion the foot. He kicked his feet with force and supported his arms and went up. Several tourists from behind stood on the stone 4 meters away and asked Yun Luo if he jumped over. Yun Luo would also joke about yes.

This unique rock climbed again in Yunluo’s second trip to the Grand Canyon, and was familiar with the road. After Yunluo went up, some young Westerners also found the same method to climb up. Three of the Swedish buddies lined up and sat in a row on the edge of the cliff and drank beer and started waiting for the sunset. They did not bring their cameras, but just took two photos with their mobile phones.

It’s more about watching with your eyes while chatting, the sunset in the Grand Canyon is extremely dreamy.

After watching the sunset, I stayed in the small town at the south gate of the scenic area, holidayinnexpress, more than $200. It was the most expensive time this time in the Western National Park itinerary, because this town is actually open to hotels and restaurants.

It is built for the Grand Canyon. Recently, it is also the peak tourist season. Room prices are very expensive. There was a heavy rain before arriving at the hotel. I can't help but worry about tomorrow's sunrise.

Look, clouds are burning in the distance of the canyon. The Sun God used his hot flame to dispel the cold and haze between heaven and earth. The morning glow is so brilliant that the sunrise will definitely be more beautiful. During this trip to the United States, we only woke up two days early (before 6 o'clock). Once because of the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, and the other was today's Sunrise in the Grand Canyon.

The little fool Mushroom mm will probably struggle very much when she woke up. The alarm clock woke everyone up. Yunluo looked out the window. Although he was lucky, it should not affect the sunrise. So she decided to set off and didn't plan to go, but since she was awake, she would go and have a look. It was not as cold as she thought.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu hurriedly set out without washing their faces. Last night, they asked the hotel reception desk. The sunrise time was 6:20. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu set out at 6:00. After 15 minutes, they arrived at yavapaipoint, which can be reached by self-driving vehicles. This is the best sunset viewing spot closest to the South Gate.

There are still 6 minutes before the sunrise time. At this time, the horizon under the clouds in the distance seemed to be burning. The most beautiful sunrise should be clouds and dawn. There are already many people here who get up early to watch the sunrise. The shutter sounds are heard one after another, and those cameras with automatic transmission are still flashing extra flashes from time to time.

Everyone was waiting with their breath for the golden star to appear in the horizon, just like every morning in the past few billions of years.

The sun rises, and the light that comes to his face makes people extremely excited. There are cheers in the crowd. The Grand Canyon is inlaid with a layer of red gold, and the morning glows in the sky are also rising one after another. Gradually, the sun rises behind the dark clouds and disappears for the time being, but in fact, the most beautiful part of the sunrise is the 10 minutes before and after the horizon rises. I have been talking about it that it is too beautiful and it is not in vain to get up early.

On the way back after watching the sunrise, I saw groups of deer in the jungle. I was really surprised. Later, I heard from the staff that the probability of seeing deer here is the highest in the morning. When I came to the Grand Canyon again, I saw the deer at around 10 am. I returned to the hotel and took a rest for a while.

I got up at around 10 o'clock, left after breakfast, and it was already cloudy outside and the weather was not optimistic. I hurried to grandviewpoint and began to search for other rock pillars near the cliffs to experience the pleasure and fear of being condescending.

Taking this photo requires walking down the hillside. Mushroom mm stood on the top and took a photo. When Yun Luo sat next to the cliff, according to Mushroom, a Western tourist standing beside her took a deep breath and then crossed the "godblesshim" on his chest. Yun Luo gradually overcomes the fear of heights. The trick is to try not to look down.

Mushrooms were also affected by the fall of clouds and gradually dared to approach the edges of some less dangerous cliffs.

The rain gradually began to heavier. The Grand Canyon was already covered with clouds and mist, with wind and rain, with less color and more magical atmosphere. The rain became heavier and heavier. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu waited in the car for half an hour. Seeing that the rain was not getting smaller, they had to give up and leave the Grand Canyon early, and rushed to Nevada along Highway 66 in the rain.

Check in Kingman Town in the evening, which is also a famous stop on Highway 66. In the evening, the rain began to pass by and the rainbow appeared very appropriately.

At night, I went to Walmart with Mushroom to purchase fruits and instant rice. When I was queuing up to check out, a couple in front of me had a big cart box to purchase. When they saw Yunluo and Yan Chenyu there were only three or four items, they took the initiative to ask Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to check out first. They were so kind. They felt warm.

I set off from Kingman in the morning and arrived in Las Vegas in the Nevada desert for about two hours. I passed by Hoover Dam on the way, but Yun Luo fell asleep at that time. I had no idea. I walked the way from Kingman to Las again more than 20 days later, and then went to Hoover Dam to see if Megatron was really imprisoned there.

In the opening sentence, the most incomprehensible thing about Yunluo is Las Vegas, because he is poor! On the way to Las, he kept listening to Mushroom Mmm about how rich Las Vegas is. When he goes to that city, he will deeply sigh, "It's great to have money." Las' hotel may be the most cost-effective hotel in the world.

Accommodation is basically a loss-making business. Low-quality accommodation is also to attract tourists. The MGM signature hotel where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu stayed should be the most luxurious hotel in their life. For that suite, Yunluo! You can find almost anything imaginable, including refrigerators, induction cookers, bread machines, and coffee machines.

There are actually juicers, tableware, knives, wine utensils, and kitchenware in drawers, which are neatly arranged. The bathroom is larger than the room I usually live in. It is of a quality of over five stars. It only costs $120 a night to tax. It is estimated that the hotel of the same quality in China will cost at least 3,000.
