    西游记(二) 圣诞节走"死亡谷"

    圣诞节的早上,我们由拉斯维加斯出发沿着160号公路西行,转372/178号公路北上,观光了位于加利福尼亚州西部著名的死亡谷国家公园(Death Valley National Park)。死亡谷虽然是沙漠国家公园,其典型的沙丘景观不多,而是以广阔的盐碱地貌为主。据说这里的石头会自己挪动(很多资料上都这么说,还有很多科学家来研究这个呢),而且这里还是美国最热的地方,虽然我们去得时候是冬天,温度还是比周围的地方要暖和许多。由于是半沙漠地区,基本都不会下雨。也不知道是我们幸运还是不幸运,我们去得那天,到第一个景点的时候居然下雨了,还刮了好大的风!哈哈,还幸运的看到了彩虹~~

    我们在死亡谷浏览基本就三个景点:Badwater Basin,Artists Palette和Zabriskie Point。首先,我们到达的是Badwater Basin,上面说了,我们到的时候下雨了,确切地说应该是雨加小冰雹,那风刮得我都站不住!Badwater Basin是"臭名昭著"的西半球最低点。不过要全球来看,它就排不上了,咱们的吐鲁番盆地就比它低了,嘿嘿~~,更别说中东地区的那些低点了,死海是最低的!不光地势低,还是一大片的盐碱地,地上都是白花花的,猛地一看还以为是学呢~
     
    第二个到达的Artists Palette,它的观光路线是一条单行道叫做Artists Scenic Drive, 以画家调色盘似的多彩岩石得名。我们拍的Video里很漂亮,后来快出来的时候才拍了几张照片,不过已经没有里面的好看了。
     
     
    由于时间的原因,后面的几个景点都没有去,直接就到达了最后一个Zabriskie Point。到了这里,再次感觉的到了大自然的艺术性~ 那些黄金花纹山脉真的是很好看,近距离的看它们,相当壮观~
