酷暑毒日自驾游:跟着班车到处转(2)

(2014-08-30 21:24:10) 下一个

我们不是第一次去优胜美地,却是第一次乘坐优胜美地的班车。优胜美地有好几条班车线路,四通八达,免费又绿色,不失为最佳的一种选择。们乘坐了两条班车线路,一条是优胜美地村庄(Yosemite Village)线,围绕着东面的主要景观。另一条是埃尔·卡皮坦(El Capitan线,围绕着西面的主要景观。两条线路有部分的重叠,上上下下非常方便。

我们的第一站是优胜美地村庄,计划是将车停在村庄的停车场,然后跟着班车到处转。在快到村庄的时候,我们看到了碧绿的大草坪,以及宏伟壮观的皇家拱门(Royal Arches),经不住美色的诱惑,停下车来观看景色。有山有水又有小鹿,这个出轨值啊。

乘坐班车来到优胜美地瀑布,这个瀑布是北美洲的最高瀑布,世界第六名。瀑布的总长是2425英尺(740米),一般在晚春季节达到水流量的高峰。瀑布分为上中下三部分,老公带着女儿爬了下瀑布。

又乘坐班车来到阿瓦尼酒店(Ahwahnee Hotel),这座1927年开业的大酒店是美国的历史地标,史蒂夫·乔布斯的婚礼就是在这里举行的。

下一站是埃尔·卡皮坦,这是一座垂直的花岗岩巨石山,位于优胜美地山谷的北侧,靠近西端,也是世界上最具挑战性的攀岩地点之一。山上有两位攀岩者,只有用高倍望远镜才能看清,据说已经攀登了两天哪。

山脚下是小桥流水,还有一辆游走优胜美地的班车。

桥下是一条幽静的小河。
