大峡谷国家公园位于美国西部亚利桑那州西北部的科罗拉多高原上。全长443 公里，是世界奇景之一。峡谷由于受到科罗拉多河的强烈下切作用而形成，所以又称科罗拉多大峡谷。科罗拉多大峡谷的形状极不规则，大致呈东西走向，总长349公里，蜿蜒曲折，像一条桀骜不驯的巨蟒，匍伏于凯巴布高原之上。它的宽度在6公里至25公里之间，峡谷两岸北高南低，平均谷深1600米，谷底宽度762米。科罗拉多河在谷底汹涌向前，形成两山壁立，一水中流的壮观，其雄伟的地貌，浩瀚的气魄，慑人的神态，奇突的景色，世无其匹。峡谷的颜色，又因两壁岩石的种类、风化的程度、时间的演变，以及所含矿物质的各异，而各有不同，铁矿石在阳光照射下，呈现五彩。由于地层结构不同，松密不一，河水的横冲直撞，有时造成大片坍陷，有时却只遗下一道罅隙；有时如怒涛般的激荡，有时又如锯齿般的侵蚀；如平流迂缓，则留下平缓的痕迹，如激流翻卷，则产生突兀的纹饰。于是，这条漫长的峡谷，就百态杂陈，有的宽展，有的狭隘；有的如蜂窝；有的如蚁穴；有的尖耸如宝塔，有的堆积如砖石；有的如孤峰孑立，有的如洞穴天成，人们对这些大自然的杰作，依形命名，冠以一些含有神话故事的名称，如阿波罗神殿、狄安娜神庙、婆罗门寺宇等。其北缘的“天使窗”，是一面山嶂上出现的一个通天空洞，其南缘的“美德岬”，像古代将军挂印拜帅的将台，尤其是谷壁地层断面，纹理清晰，层层叠叠，就像万卷诗书构成的曲线图案，缘山起落，循谷延伸，又如一幅万里绸带，在大地上宛转飘舞。不得不赞叹大自然的鬼斧神功。
We actually took only 2 days to go from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bay and back to Las Vegas. When we arrived in Las Vegas, it was already evening, because we had been here before, so we didn’t watch the show and eat buffet, we strolled around Las Vegas Strip and went to have dinner.
Next trip, Peggy, the location of Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bay. The two sites are very close to each other, about 15 minutes drive. The only attraction that requires a fee is Antelope Canyon, because it belongs to the Indians, not the U.S. National Park, each person needs to join a group for 40 yuan (must be enrolled in a group to enter the Antelope Canyon, private cars are not allowed to enter da) according to their own online reservation time.
This day was the most anticipated of the whole trip, better than Yellowstone! Fortunately, both Horseshoe Bay and Antelope Canyon are located 10 minutes away from each other in the small town of Page.
Love travel, love life, love all new and beautiful things! There are too many happy moments in life, which will be blurred in memory after a long time. I hope to use words and pictures to record my two-week trip to the west coast of the United States!

The period also includes processing visas, booking air tickets, hotels, car rentals, and arranging 22-day itinerary routes and time. For me, who has never been to the United States and has never thought about going to the United States , it is really a test to get all these arrangements done within half a month.
