    西游记(一)火之谷+胡福大坝行

    12月24号从拉斯维加斯出发,沿着15号公路东行,大约2个小时的路程,到达了第一个目的地Valley of Fire火之谷。火之谷虽然只是内华达州的一个州立公园,但是我个人认为还是值得一看得。火之谷,顾名思义,是因为山谷两旁有很多红色的巨石,就连土地也都是红土。红色的石头形状各异,当地的土著根据每个石头的形状都起了相应的名字,虽然我是怎么看怎么不像,不过还是挺佩服他们~~hoho~ 原始人还是挺有想象力的嘛!据说这个“火之谷”在几亿年以前是在海底的,也许就和我国的西部一样,都属于深海的海底。看着红石和红土,觉得地球还是蛮神奇的!

    观光完“火之谷”后,我们又沿着167号公路南下,公路的旁边就是Lake Mead(不知道怎么翻译),到达了第二个目的地著名的Hoover Dam胡福大坝。由于我们去得时候是冬季,所以天黑得比较早,当我们开到那里,天已经全黑了,不过还是觉得挺宏伟的,当然,是不能和我们的三峡大坝相提并论的!但好歹也是西半球最高的水坝。它建于1935年,那时还是世界上最高的水坝。Lake Mead 和胡福大坝是内华达和亚利桑那州的分界线,而且分属两个时区,所以走在水坝上,一边是西海岸时间,一边是山区时间,相差一小时。

    下面就是我照的一些照片,胡福大坝的两张照片是在网上下载的(晚上太黑了,不容易拍不到全景):
