美兮,美西。(美国西部自驾游记 二)
美国作家约翰缪尔(John Muir)1890年游历了大峡谷后写道,“不管你走过多少路,看过多少名山大川,你都会觉得大峡谷仿佛只能存在于另一个世界,另一个星球。”此言不虚。
盐湖城,通常被称为盐湖,是犹他州的政治、文化中心。盐湖是犹他州人口最多的城市,名列美国西部内陆城市的第三位,仅次于丹佛和凤凰城。市内有许多文化产品,数量可观的公园以及寺庙广场等都是能给人带来灵感的建筑,这些历史悠久的建筑也是当地的地理标志。盐湖城都市区是美国的金融中心,商业中心在兴旺的瓦萨奇山前区,以及是度假胜地、其他小镇及国家公园的入口,包括犹他公园城、Snowbird滑雪度假村及拱门国家公园。1847,杨百翰率领一批耶稣基督后期圣徒教会(摩门教)的信徒在此拓荒,此后,该教会的总会一直位于盐湖城,目前超过半数的当地人士为该教会教徒。

Coordinates New York, USA. This trip to the Midwest of the United States has a total of eight days. I went with my parents. On the way, I passed Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Salt Lake City, Arches National Park, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend.
Arizona ‘s popular natural scenery is almost concentrated in the north, including Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley National Park and Grand Canyon National Park. For tourists who like to drive by themselves, this is undoubtedly good news. We can visit all the above-mentioned attractions together, and fully experience the original scenery of nature and the culture of Indians.
Writing travel notes here is also mainly to record the itinerary, I think the United States It is really possible to do it a few more times (if you have time), and you can go to different places in so many national parks. Even if you don’t refer to it in the future, it will be a very pleasant experience to look back.
1847年,摩门教在美国各地受到迫害与驱逐。领袖杨百翰 (Brigham Young)带领教徒四处迁徙,经过艰苦的长途跋涉,翻过重重雪山,终于来到一座雪山环绕的山谷。他们登上山顶,眺望着犹他州盐湖谷这片广袤的土地,不禁发出感叹:This is the place——这正是我们的梦想之地。于是他们走出马车,卸下行李,劈山建城,犹他州的首府——盐湖城由此诞生。
美西行走距黄石公园最近的城市要数盐湖城,很多坐飞机去黄石公园的人,都选择飞往盐湖城,然后乘车去黄石公园。盐湖城是美国犹他州最大城市和首府,以紧靠大盐湖而得名,所以,到黄石公园的人一般都要去看看。
