马蹄湾,是科罗拉多河在亚利桑那州境内流经Page小镇的一段普通河道,但是因为少有的270度回水弯(因此形如马蹄铁而得名)。在亚利桑那充沛的阳光下,因为土壤中含有大量铁、锰的等成分。马蹄湾周边的土地都有一层金属光泽的红色。这里独特地貌和景致吸引了大批摄影师和游人,成为人们眼中不可错过的风景。
The Horseshoe band is a normal part of Colorado river in page, AZ. But the 270 degree circle bend make it famous all over the world. That's the reason people call it "horseshoe". The soil there looks red due to the iron and other elements in the soil. Horseshoe bend is a must go place for photographer and traveler. You must try to experience this breath-taking scenery your self!
再唠叨两句,马蹄湾本身是良心经典,不收门票的。同样也没有管理,所以一定要注意安全。同样因为地处沙漠,road trip 要备好足够的饮水。提前预定的话同样也可以坐直升机浏览。
Hints: The Horseshoe bend is a free attraction. So there is no management department there. Take care your-self! Have enough water with you during the trip. You can also take helicopter to appreciate the great place. But you need to book it in advance.
Thanks for watching and upvoting :D
