早上起的有点晚,8点半才起床,草草的把日更完成了,因为昨天逛Zion的步道实在有点太累了,晚上回到酒店也已经比较晚了。今天想把行程稍微安排宽松一点。在酒店吃过早餐后收拾好后差不多就十点了。因为昨天在Zion有一个非常漂亮的地貌,因为下雨我们没有停留,所以打算今天稍微绕道再去那个景点逛一下,然后再驱车前往Bryce canyon national park。因为出发比较晚,路上出发的车很多了,在Zion的入口处排着很长的车队,差不多十一点才到。
一路上继续观赏着美丽的景色,感叹大自然的鬼斧神工,缔造出各种不同的地貌。到Bryce的时候,这边的地貌让我们再一次叹为观止,它们叫做Hoodoos,我想把它叫成石林,有点像去云南的时候看到过的石林一样,但这个好像各大更多。。
摘录了一下官方的说法:
The Three-Step Recipe to Create Bryce Canyon
The formation of Bryce Canyon and its hoodoos requires 3 steps:
1) Deposition of Rocks
2) Uplift of the Land
3) Weathering and Erosion
Part of the beauty of the hoodoos comes from their strange patterns. The shape of the hoodoos is attributed to slight variances in the material which comprises the rock. If you recall from the “deposition” section above, there are multiple types of rocks that make up Bryce Canyon. All of the rocks contain abundant calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a mineral that dissolves when it comes into contact with even slightly acidic water. When it rains at Bryce Canyon, the (slightly) acidic rain is enough to dissolve the calcium carbonate that holds these rocks together and allows them to erode into their current shape (and continues to shape them).
When you look at the Hoodoos you will notice some layers that jut out, and some that indent inwards. This is a result of the rocks having varying amounts of calcium carbonate cementation and that controls how easily dissolvable (or how resistant) that rock layer is.
