我想试试运气,现在申请permit已经来不及,先试着申请walk-in permit,如果还是不行,干脆就圣诞节当天中午去闯闯,没准没人把门,我就进去了,非常想看看这个大自然的奇迹 – The Wave of the Rocks。这坛里我就知道阿姗去过了,其他人还有没有什么经验?

From Page, go 98-160-163-261
早上从Monument Valley穿堂而过,直奔Goosenecks: Four miles off Utah Highway 261 near Mexican Hat, you can look into a 1,000-foot-deep chasm carved through the Pennsylvanian Hermosa Formation by the silt-laden San Juan River.
从163公路下来右转很快就进入了占地三万多英亩的Monument Valley. Sunset at Monument Valley.
Stay in Best Western at Lake Powell, Page。
11/27: Antelope Canyon and Horeshoe Bend
马蹄湾位于PAGE以南5哩路,在89号公路的西边。看了众英雄的照片,感觉这地方在早上还漂亮点,如果中午光线太强,好像色彩就淡了很多。
看完马蹄湾,正好是中午,就可以去羚羊谷了。
羚羊谷在PAGE东边几哩路,靠近Hwy98,这是一种细长的地下峡谷.游玩羚羊谷的最好时间应该是中午11点到1点之间.

11/28 Plan 1: Page -> LA。 如果感觉视觉疲劳,就回家了. Bryce and Zion可以等到明年4月份接着玩。
Plan 2: 如果还是感觉没玩够,就去Bryce NP. Stay at Ruby’s Inn for 2 more nights.
