空拍(From Denver to Los Angeles)

機上隨意拍,無聊時比對衛星地圖,竟然發現自己飛了一條經典航線--沿著科羅拉多河飛越爬過的每一座山,飛越大峽谷。這種事後的驚喜我也沒辦法形容。

日期:2006.09.28上午十一時至下午一時(美國山區時間)

地點:丹佛至洛杉磯

上圖機翼下山區為落磯山國家公園,右邊Boulder city是一個很美的小鎮,位在丹佛北方約30哩處,科羅拉多大學Boulder校區在此。

大江“西”去--科羅拉多河

 

科羅拉多河兩大水壩-- Glen Canyon DamHoover Dam一次看個夠。

1956年,美國政府決定在大峽谷(Grand Canyon)Glen Canyon間興建一座具爭議性的水庫(Glen Canyon Dam)和水力發電廠,來提供人口不斷增加的美國西南地區水電來源。這個水庫破壞了科羅拉多河正常的水流,也淹沒了景觀壯麗的Glen Canyon,更在峽谷中形成了一個原本不存在的大湖Lake Powell

上圖是頗受爭議的 Glen Canyon Dam,一座沙漠中的水壩。原本位於水庫邊、建造水庫工人的營地,也從1957年開始逐漸演變成小城Page(下),Page附近有一處極負盛名的羚羊峽谷(Antelope Canyon)馬蹄灣(Horseshoe Bend)

胡佛水壩和Lake Mead。這個連接內華達州和亞立桑那州的水壩,築於科羅拉多河上。公路,就由大壩上穿過。這裡大概是來賭城遊客必遊之處。胡佛水壩建於1931年,壩高221.4公尺 ,寬379.2公尺 ,是全美第二高的水壩。賭城拉斯維加斯在左上角。
