大峽谷 (The Grand Canyon) 於1919226

經過百萬年的沖刷,科羅拉多河 (Colorado River) 在亞利桑納州北部高原處切割出世界上最大的峽谷。峽谷岩石的顏色有黑色、紅色、淡紫色,還有淡黃色。這座國家公園的範圍超過1百萬英畝。來自世界各地的觀光客喜歡站在壯觀的峽谷裂縫口,看著眼前令人驚嘆的美景。


For millions of years, the Colorado River has cut through rock on the high plateau of northern Arizona to create one of the largest canyons in the world. This process is called erosion. The colors of the canyon rock range from black and red to lavender and cream. The park contains more than 1 million acres. Visitors come from all around to stand on the edge of the great chasm and stare in awe at the amazing view before them.
