Not only that, Utah is also famous for its majestic and diverse terrain with snowy mountains, valleys, alternating rivers and streams, and many dry deserts and hills with extremely spectacular shapes.
Road to Zion
Utah is relatively rich, the crops in the watershed are very lush, there are gold, copper, lead and uranium mines, and it is a place to welcome tourists almost all year round. However, the scenery on both sides of the road from California running through Nevada to Utah was so dry that if anyone took a picture and bragged that it was the way to Mars, someone would also believe it. Photo: Lifeidealism Weeds are scattered, the ground is scorched dark brown, nature is vast and empty, looking far away only looks lonely. There is a section where the path turns to another direction, and you can see the road sign to the Ghost City, where in the past people looking for gold built up and then left after running out of gold. Both sides of the road into Utah are mountainous. Road to Springdale Village. For 60 million years, nature has been meticulously carving and pruning to create a unique shape for this land. Sometimes there is an area equal to a few dozen roofs of pure wholesale houses, like everyone knows each other. Then again, the mountains faltered, there were high and pointed peaks, and there were flat tables like the sky, as if the sky had pushed the river bottom up to the ground. Many roads are nestled between two mountains close together, so close that looking up feels suffocating, like a rocky mountain wanting to grab people. Like that, finally, the Zion National Park, located in southwestern Utah, welcomes visitors with the gentle little village of Springdale (which was once covered by the magazine). Forbes Traveler Dot is one of the 20 most beautiful cities in the United States). The village is so peaceful that the sound of cars is also smooth. The people are gentle and sweet. Under the clear sun and autumn chill, the village’s only road lies indifferently resting until summer is busy. Road in the middle of the mountain. Zion National Park has no green grass stretching many hundreds of meters, nor does it have elaborately manicured or artificial flowers. Here everything is real, the trees and leaves are freely showing off their colors, the mountains and rivers are majestic, the feelings of a race that has been almost extinct. To visit the park, visitors can walk, cycle, drive, or take the free bus every ten minutes. The driver was very polite, every time he walked up, he smiled and asked: “How are you today?”. You must be healthy to go climbing, so all passengers happily said they were well and asked: “What about you?”. “If you don’t climb, you also have to have decent legs so that every time the bus stops at any station you like, you can go down to take pictures, take a walk …”. Sinawava temple looks like Angkor temple. The park has eight bus stations in all. The first station before winding up the mountain is a museum containing 1,600 archaeological artifacts, recounting the life and journey of the first people who lived here. There is a movie theater in the whole park from rivers and streams, the scenery is magnificent and magnificent with many caves but only extremely supple legs with more than ten kilograms of luggage on their back, diving all day long. can admire. Visitors only see them in the souvenir shop through magnified art pictures with the same price. There are places where the mountains are trimmed like a winding silk, there are places where the mountains are like small towers lying on top of each other, or caves where the pebbles are smooth with time and the water is as clear as jade. The last station is Sinawava Shrine located at the narrowest entrance of the park. This place has a memorable scene with standing rocks close together and pure white clouds floating on the clear blue sky. Wordless stories at the park Every year Zion welcomes more than two million visitors and the government here spends about $2.5 billion on renovations. However, the ticket price to the park is very favorable: 25 USD for a car for a week, in and out as many times as you can. If you only enter a few times, you cannot walk through the vast 593km2. Bus stop. We also only have enough time to travel around a red mountain range. The two sides of the mountain road rise up to look at the people around below, the green trees stand out against the red background. Sometimes, on one side of the mountain, there are abundant rivers and streams, the sad voice tells the history of tens of millions of years of existence. Although the fauna in Zion is very rich, visitors often only encounter squirrels, rabbits or a few deer leisurely grazing. You can only see it when you see it, but it’s not convenient for anyone to eat anything, the park management will be forced to kill it immediately to avoid disaster. The consequences of this can be fear of animals being infected with city germs that the natural environment does not know how to cure, or it can create a habit of craving for urban food, and then in order to eat again, they have to run away from the cage. Go find a place where there are people, and there are people who are dangerous… A quiet autumn afternoon filled with gloom, tourists no one speaks loudly, no one runs or jumps, standing in the territory of a strange ethnic group but feeling sorry for them, with all their quiet remembrance of their glorious times. . Bus. More than 900 kinds of plants are rampant, even on the craggy cliffs there are passionate red flowers. Autumn on both sides of the region is bright yellow, in the clear sunlight, the leaves stand out on the black asphalt. Asphalt, vehicles, cameras, mobile phones… the manifestations of technological civilization entering the vast and overwhelming nature. On the mountainside, sometimes there are a few hollow holes in the sky ready for children to take shelter on rainy days, it is touching to think of how many steps have stopped there, the souls are still entangled here and there. In the park area, apart from a few blocks of houses at each bus stop, sometimes a few lonely rooftops rise among the grass and rocks. Any, from the flat, round or angular rock lying next to each other on the layer of yellow leaves that cover the ground, visitors also find the charm of the Indian soul. Is there a feeling of sadness when the last rays of the day are still on the top of the mountain and the cold begins to pour down the road surface… Shoe tree. Leaving this attractive area during the day, we encountered a bare tree trunk with a lot of shoes hanging on it, I don’t know if it was because of tourists playing or the feet of the ancients visiting the country? But the Indian soul was only faint. They live in reserved sanctuaries. Many American Indians with very different cultures between them have created poverty, low levels of education and living on the margins of society, although it is said that the US government is very preferential to the descendants of these ethnic groups. , they are subsidized for life, do not pay taxes, own many casinos … Maybe that’s why not many people think about the past. But a people whose land has been ceded or occupied, where all activities are disrupted or controlled, is no longer a nation! Museum. Suddenly remember in the cowboy movie, the pioneers who conquered the West, if they saw the mountain peak exposed in the sky, an Indian man strutting on horseback was enough to run away. Movie enthusiasts told themselves they had to pay the park management for visitors to relive that creepy feeling! The afternoon is low and the cold air from the mountain has been released, visitors come down to the mountain with sadness before the natural landscape with deep red skin color.
