大峽谷國家公園Grand Canyon National Park 遊記(2022.08.03)

Grand Canyon National Park South Entrance

Grand Canyon National Park South Entrance

Grand Canyon National Park成立於1919年,位在亞歷桑那州(Arizona)西北部,是美國較早期的國家公園之一。國家公園內橫躺著被科羅拉多河切割的大峽谷,該峽谷被公認是世界大自然奇蹟之一。大峽谷國家公園範圍廣達1,902平方哩 (4,927 平方公里),橫跨Coconino County Mohave County兩個County

大峽谷區長約277哩,深約1哩,峽谷兩旁相距平均寬約10哩,河谷北緣峭壁落差大約 5,700 呎,平均高出南緣落差大約 1,200 呎。

大峽谷國家公園被科羅拉多河切割為北緣(North Rim)和南緣(South Rim)兩部份,大部分的遊客都經由64號公路由公園南入口(South Entrance)進入南緣(South Rim)參觀,然後由公園東入口(East Entrance)離開。公園的行政中心設在南緣離南入口(South Entrance)不遠的的大峽谷村(Grand Canyon Village),不僅是遊客服務中心與旅館的所在地,更是整座國家公園的樞紐。由大峽谷村為起點,南緣又分為東西兩線,西線(West Rim Drive)8哩,東線(East Rim Drive)23哩,沿線設置無數觀景點及步道起點,除了西線(West Rim Drive)必須搭乘園內免費巴士(Free Shuttle Buses)外,其餘都是兩線道的柏油路,終年遊人如織,景美、易行。

公園的北緣(North Rim)則由67號公路進入,南緣與北緣之間並無橋樑、道路直接連接,除非繞道公園東北角接近Page小城,經由Navajo Bridge才能相連接;這段路大約210哩長,必須用掉大約5個小時的車程,加上北緣每年的10月底到次年5月中是封閉的,所以一般遊客都集中在南緣。

 

大峽谷國家公園(Grand Canyon National Park)我於20097月及20186月兩度前往遊覽過;2009年僅遊覽公園的南緣(South Rim)各景點,2018年則帶著兩個外孫豆豆和貝貝從南緣的South Kaibab Trailhead沿South Kaibab Trail下到谷底,在谷底沿科羅拉多河沿岸步道西行1.5/2.4公里後再沿Bright Angel Trail上到南緣的Bright Angel Trailhead,完成一趟瘋狂的一日谷底往返行程,之後再繞到北緣遊覽北緣各景點。

今年適逢小女兒和內孫翔翔雙雙來美度假,大女兒特地安排一趟大峽谷之旅,由於之前遊覽已將該公園做一詳細記錄,本次行程僅貼些照片內容不再贅述,如有興趣可參閱我以前的旅遊記錄~~
