酷暑毒日自駕遊:跟著班車到處轉(2)

我們不是第一次去優勝美地,卻是第一次乘坐優勝美地的班車。優勝美地有好幾條班車線路,四通八達,免費又綠色,不失為最佳的一種選擇。們乘坐了兩條班車線路,一條是優勝美地村莊(Yosemite Village)線,圍繞著東麵的主要景觀。另一條是埃爾·卡皮坦(El Capitan線,圍繞著西麵的主要景觀。兩條線路有部分的重疊,上上下下非常方便。

我們的第一站是優勝美地村莊,計劃是將車停在村莊的停車場,然後跟著班車到處轉。在快到村莊的時候,我們看到了碧綠的大草坪,以及宏偉壯觀的皇家拱門(Royal Arches),經不住美色的誘惑,停下車來觀看景色。有山有水又有小鹿,這個出軌值啊。

乘坐班車來到優勝美地瀑布,這個瀑布是北美洲的最高瀑布,世界第六名。瀑布的總長是2425英尺(740米),一般在晚春季節達到水流量的高峰。瀑布分為上中下三部分,老公帶著女兒爬了下瀑布。

又乘坐班車來到阿瓦尼酒店(Ahwahnee Hotel),這座1927年開業的大酒店是美國的曆史地標,史蒂夫·喬布斯的婚禮就是在這裏舉行的。

下一站是埃爾·卡皮坦,這是一座垂直的花崗岩巨石山,位於優勝美地山穀的北側,靠近西端,也是世界上最具挑戰性的攀岩地點之一。山上有兩位攀岩者,隻有用高倍望遠鏡才能看清,據說已經攀登了兩天哪。

山腳下是小橋流水,還有一輛遊走優勝美地的班車。

橋下是一條幽靜的小河。

又去了春分瀑布(Vernal Fall),走了一小段約翰·繆爾步道(John Muir Trail),一路的景色亦是美不勝收。
