摩押
当我们驶向拱门国家公园的入口时,我觉得有必要聊一聊公园所在的小镇——摩押!摩押是我在美国最喜欢的地方之一,这里有壮丽的地貌、友善的居民,以及丰富多样的活动,真的应有尽有。
犹他州的摩押是一座名声响亮的小沙漠城,被誉为美国西南部最好的冒险中心之一。它坐落在陡峭的红色岩壁与蜿蜒的科罗拉多河之间,是通往著名国家公园的门户,包括拱门国家公园和峡谷地国家公园。此外,这里还有众多州立公园、小径和公共土地,探索的可能性无穷无尽。摩押吸引着户外探险爱好者,提供世界级的徒步旅行、山地骑行、越野驾驶、攀岩和激流漂流。这里的景色壮观无比——高耸的砂岩拱门、崎岖的台地和广阔的沙漠景观,使每一次旅行都如同一幅明信片般美丽。
摩押市中心充满活力,又带着一丝悠闲的氛围,遍布各类特色商店、艺术画廊和本地餐馆,是一天探险后放松的好去处。无论是清晨在小镇享用丰盛早餐再启程远足,还是傍晚喝着精酿啤酒欣赏落日映照红色峭壁,摩押都能为旅人提供温暖的归属感。此外,这片土地拥有丰富的文化历史,包括古老的岩画和遗迹,使自然景观更具神秘感。
春秋两季是游览摩押的最佳时节,气候宜人,适合徒步、骑行或驾车游览风景如画的拉萨尔山环线(La Sal Mountain Loop)或钾盐-科罗拉多河下游景观大道(Potash-Lower Colorado River Byway)。然而,摩押的魅力四季皆在,每个季节都有不同的精彩活动。无论你是寻求刺激的冒险家,还是想在美国最黑暗的夜空下静静观星的旅人,摩押都会带给你一场难忘的沙漠之旅。

拱门国家公园的历史
拱门国家公园不仅仅是一片令人惊叹的风景,拥有砂岩拱门、陡峭的岩塔和崎岖的峡谷——它还是一个拥有丰富地质、文化和人类历史的地方,时间跨度达数百万年。从古老的海床到美洲原住民部落,再到早期探险家,拱门国家公园的故事与其景观一样令人着迷。
在人类踏足这里之前,如今的拱门国家公园地区经历了剧烈的地质变化。大约3亿年前,这片土地曾被古海覆盖,留下了厚厚的盐层。数百万年来,砂岩沉积、压缩,并逐渐被风、水和冰侵蚀。随着较软的岩层被侵蚀,独特的岩脊和拱门逐渐形成,造就了我们今天看到的奇观。即便是现在,公园仍在不断变化——拱门坍塌、新的裂隙形成,景观仍在演变。
最早在此定居的人类是距今一万多年前的古印第安人。后来,阿纳萨齐人和弗里蒙特人曾在这里生活,并留下了岩画和文物,至今仍可在公园内外看到。到16世纪,尤特族和派尤特族成为这一地区的主要原住民。尤特人称这片土地为“Tava”,意为“岩石之地”。他们的岩画至今仍可在法院洗涤处(Courthouse Wash)等地看到。
公园的美景在20世纪初才被外界发现。铁路勘探者亚历山大·林霍费尔(Alexander Ringhoffer)开始推广这里的奇特岩石景观。1929年,美国总统赫伯特·胡佛宣布该地区为国家纪念地,1971年,理查德·尼克松总统正式将其升级为国家公园。
如今,拱门国家公园占地76,679英亩,保护着2000多座天然石拱和数百座岩塔,每年吸引超过150万游客。但公园也面临挑战,如过度旅游、环境保护和气候变化影响。美国国家公园管理局仍在努力保护这些脆弱的自然奇观,同时平衡旅游与生态保护。
