大峡谷 (The Grand Canyon) 于1919226

经过百万年的冲刷,科罗拉多河 (Colorado River) 在亚利桑纳州北部高原处切割出世界上最大的峡谷。峡谷岩石的颜色有黑色、红色、淡紫色,还有淡黄色。这座国家公园的范围超过1百万英亩。来自世界各地的观光客喜欢站在壮观的峡谷裂缝口,看着眼前令人惊叹的美景。


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.
