今天开了470英里,总计十个小时。



去了Devil's Tower。一个很有意思的地质现象。

岩浆向上推挤进沉积岩层中然后冷却,收缩,形成垂直柱状。数百万年来,周围较软的石灰岩被慢慢侵蚀,硬化的岩浆暴露出来,最终形成了我们今天所看到的独特柱状结构。

拔地1267英尺,很远就能看到。

在书上电视上看到,都不如真的开车去看。沿着公路,很远就能看到,然后一点点变大。

进去以后有一条trail可以绕着tower走一圈,各个角度欣赏,呵呵。

上面很多攀岩的人,拿着望远镜可以看到那些小小的身影在移动。

trail上有很多介绍,很有意思,比如当年第一个攀登tower的女子,和以前留下来的木梯的遗迹。还有通过树的年轮,看这一年的水分。

然后就开始往西开。

还经过了一个Devil's gate。是当年西部开发者迁徙路过的一个山崖之间被溪水冲刷出来的过道。天太热了,没有hike下去,有点可惜。

但是想当年,那些先行者们,就是在这样的天气,没有公路,没有空调,拉着行李,一点点往西部进发。他们要面临的挑战,真的是难以想象的严峻。
