科羅拉多大峽穀 Colorado and the Grand Canyon scenic photographs

Colorado Grand Canyon in Arizona, Colorado River middle reaches of the Northwest, Southwest, Colorado Plateau, the Earth's most magnificent scenery of the 10 wonders of the world. Some say that the only available space in the naked eye to see the natural landscape is the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Colorado Grand Canyon area of nearly 3 km, no one can see a full picture of the Grand Canyon times. From a height overlooking only is it possible to appreciate the integrity of the earth cracks. Real realistic, which can only canyon from the southern margin of the northern margin of appreciation or part of the canyon.
Quiet silent depths of the canyon. This is not quiet as the silence; Rather, it is the quiet things. It's like a great piece. Human creative music gradually reached its climax, but it has been terminated, and the Grand Canyon is climax after another, and never resonated more than the sound. Perhaps the most dramatic Grand Canyon style characterized by "red" limestone cliffs, which are semi-erect in the gap is almost vertical. Its average altitude is 550 feet - and almost as high as the Washington Monument. Although it is actually blue gray limestone, but seeping from the rock in the cliff surface molysite yet contracted Wanxia like colors. The "red" above the red sandstone and shale 1,000 feet thick alternating layers, and then the sand rock is light blue, pale yellow at the top of the limestone.
Now, every day to the Grand Canyon sightseeing in the southern margin of about 18,000 visitors, some of them will use small motor car along the "bright angel paths" to the bottom, through the choppy river above the bridge, and then arrived at the northern margin. Despite the margin of two North-South face-to-face only 12 miles apart, but the side of the car from the other side of the distance is 214 miles. The northern margin of only visit in the summer; The southern margin of higher than about 1,200 feet; In addition, 7,8, most of the time for the other snow-covered. But the southern margin ever welcomed the visit. Where the warm sunshine as in people's faces; The air was filled with Indian censer emitting a smoke in the aroma. The Grand Canyon is a superior Refined scenery.” No wonder an American writer and journalist, said: "I came here when the atheist or months, is to leave when the devout believers."
A famous Americans Samuel had said in 1898: "Grand Canyon of the Colorado River - its color and structure is the magnificent diversity of the world, like people after the demise of the planet found in other things." And Samuel, on the edge of the Grand Canyon right people suddenly here Refined overwhelming, and still create the kind of change this place magical forces surprised. After 100 years of research, and many things are still a mystery. Today, thousands of tourists - whether ordinary people or VIP - with a curious feeling to be here. They are from the 1st Island in the United States from Europe and Asia, every country, as devout pilgrims came to this as the Parthenon.
