The west of the United States has always been known for its wild beauty, and there are several amazing national parks, so outdoor enthusiasts and photographers all over the world favor the west of the United States.
Many people will take Vegas Las Vegas as the center to start the Road trip, on the one hand, can be a small gambling pleasure, feel the red wine, on the other hand, Vegas location is quite ideal, the drive to several major attractions are not too far.
Everyone will ask how long it takes to go to a national park. This really varies from person to person. If you buy a $30 US national park joint ticket, it is valid for 7 days and you can enter and exit unlimited times. Along the way, we saw many families carrying big bags and even a few bicycles for Hiking, Biking, and Camping. Feeling their way of playing, you can get in touch with nature as much as you want, and use the national park tickets to the extreme.
There are many Chinese The playing styles of friends are quite different. Because of time constraints, they often visit several famous scenic spots in a few days, experience as many scenic spots with different landforms and different landscapes as possible in a short period of time, and then check the box to visit here. . We are playing the latter way this time. Due to the short time and the rush of the schedule, we have to pay special attention to how to play. Basically a national park for a day, passing through Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Bressler Canyon National Park.
Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon
Took an early flight and flew to Las Vegas early in the morning. When we got off the plane we immediately felt the full sun. So a little tip is to make sure you have sunscreen for this journey. Of course, many Americans like that tanned texture. Some of my colleagues never use sunscreen, after the vacation back to the face a trace of sunglasses, they feel particularly proud. The American kind of tan is a symbol of health and money. Healthy means they like outdoor activities, rich means they often like to go on vacation.
We got off the plane and went to pick up the car. We chose a cool Mustang, considering that we had to drive all the way. The roads in the US are very well built, so you don’t need a 4WD off-road vehicle for special needs, and a sports car or a car with good visibility is an excellent choice for a road trip. After picking up the car, we went straight to the first stop in the town of Page.
After 4 hours of driving, we finally arrived at the first stop of this trip – Horseshoe Bend. Horseshoe Bay, which was originally thought to be just a viewing point, also needs to walk about 20-30 minutes on the sandy land to reach it.
We ran Horseshoe Bend twice, the first time we arrived at 2pm. There are a lot of clouds in the sky, blocking the light that can shine on the Colorado River, and the photo is the Feel like the picture below. You can also take part in a boat tour on the Colorado River to experience the Grand Canyon from the river.
The guide said that the best time to take pictures should be the sunset every day. When the sun shines on the Grand Canyon, it will be reddish and form a sharp color contrast with the Colorado River, so we came again.
Here are two small tips:
- Don’t fall off the cliff! Because many scenic spots in the United States have almost no guardrails.
- Try to use wide-angle shooting. If you don’t have a wide-angle lens, you can use the iPhone’s built-in panoramic shooting function. Be careful not to shake your hands!
Antelope Canyon is divided into Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon. No matter where you go, you need to sign up for the tour of the local Indians. At the junction of the three states of Arizona , Utah, and Colorado, a large area is under the jurisdiction of the local Indians themselves. You can find 2 major local tour groups on Google, and it is best to make an appointment in advance. It takes 20 minutes from the town of Page to take the small truck of the travel agency to reach the Antelope Canyon. In Antelope Canyon, all the canyon photos don’t pay much attention to shooting skills, but what filters you use! It is relatively difficult to take pictures of people in Antelope Canyon. Due to the large number of tourists, as soon as you enter the canyon, all you can do is hold your iPhone and press the shutter crazily on the SLR. There is rarely an open space for you to pose quietly.
