It is about eighty-eight meters long. In the past twenty or thirty years, its thinnest and narrowest part has experienced three large stone pieces falling, so the thinnest part is becoming thinner and thinner.

Perhaps, one day not far away, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu will read from the newspaper that the landscape arch completely collapsed, so it is wise to take more photos with it while it is still alive.

The landscape arch is the first time Yunluo and Yan Chenyu have to hike into the valley after coming to the park, but the distance is not long, and it is enough to travel around the clock. The road is full of tourists from all over the world. From their speeches, we can hear that there are the most French, Koreans, and Japanese, and of course, Chinese tourists are indispensable.

Most tourists come with their families. Some children are brought to experience nature by their parents just after they learn to walk. Yunluo admires such parents. They start to exercise their willpower when they are so young.

After seeing the landscape arch, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu drove back to the south-center center of the park. This is the location of the north-south window and the turret arch. Here Yunluo and Yan Chenyu happened to catch up with a ranger-ledprogram - the park manager accompanied you to see the attractions and explain them again and again.

The manager who explained to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu happened to be the manager who was consulting at the Visitor Center just now. He was about 60 years old and had gray hair, but he was energetic and had agile steps. What surprised Yunluo and Joy were on the way to visit these arches.

He did not explain these arches in any way, but explained the vegetation and wild animals in the Arches National Park to Yunluo and Yanchenyu. He often walked under a plant and stopped to tell Yunluo and Yanchenyu how they survived in this barren Gobi, including how to preserve water, how to blossom and bear fruit, etc.

It often takes out some pictures of wild animals from its backpack and tells Yunluo and Yan Chenyu how the wild animals here fight against the barren resources to survive and reproduce. His speech is vivid and detailed. Every word is exuding his love for this land.

Finally, he pointed to the arch in the distance and said earnestly: "Tourists come to these arches. In fact, these vegetation and animals are also treasures of the entire national park!" Yun Luo was also very touched when he heard this. The stones were dead after all, and those lives that fought for survival were really worthy of respect.

After visiting the landscape arch, north and south windows and a series of small arches passed by on the road, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu's goal was the exquisite arch. It took more than an hour to get to this arch, and there was no obvious path in the second half of the road. It was not difficult to climb some rocks by yourself.

Fortunately, there were many people walking along the way, and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were not lonely. At this time, the clouds in the sky were still very thick, and a few drops of rain fell from time to time. It was obvious that a very thick dark cloud was pouring heavy rain towards the land below it. I really hope that the dark cloud would not come to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's head.

Originally, Yun Luo wanted to go to the exquisite arch to shoot the legendary red piece, but it seemed that the weather was not beautiful and there was no hope. But since it was a landmark in Utah, you still had to go and see it no matter how difficult the road was. Before reaching the exquisite arch, there was a small steep slope, and most people walked around the slope directly to the bottom of the slope. But Yun Luo felt that he would regret not climbing this small slope.

There is a small arch on the slope. From this arch, you can see the exquisite arch and the cliffs around it from afar. It is very spectacular. It is completely impossible to see from the bottom of the slope. In fact, there are many photographers fiddling with their equipment on the top of the slope. Of course, Yun Luo also took out Yun Luo's Canon and slapped at this beautiful scenery for dozens of times.

Although the sunset was not seen, the thick and dark clouds made Yun Luo feel a gloomy and domineering in all the photos taken today, highlighting the withering next door and the magnificence of the arch. Yun Luo was very satisfied.

Finally, when Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu were about to leave the exquisite arch, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky to the west. The exposed red afterglow was like a bloody mouth cut by a knife in the sky, which was very spectacular. Yun Luo hurriedly grabbed this picture with his camera. Although the shooting level was limited, it was enough for Yun Luo to remember this moment.

Looking back now, sometimes different weather will produce more satisfactory works. The sunset scene that appears almost every day is much cheaper.

The tour of the first national park was very smooth. When it got back to the car, it started to rain heavily. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were lucky to be not wet. Although Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were very tired after watching the park for a day, today's mission was not over.

Next, I have to drive for two hours in the night toward the direction of kanab. kanab is the place where thewave draws lots. Let’s talk about the travel notes about this town and thewave valley until tomorrow.

There is a spectacular and magical stone in Utah. Because the stone's patterns are like surging waves, they are named "waves". The rocks in this Wave Stone Valley are not hard rocks, and light trampling may cause permanent damage to its surface.

It is said that once the thin part of the rock surface is broken, it will take two or three hundred years of weathering to recover. It can be seen how fragile Wave Valley is. It is precisely for this reason that the department managing this stone valley only releases twenty tickets to visitors every day, and ten of them were sold online a few months ago.

The remaining ten are left for visitors who came to the day to draw lots. Although this Wave Valley is remote, it takes six hours to hike in a large desert with no obvious paths, although the temperature can be close to forty degrees Celsius under the scorching sun, and although everyone needs a heavy 1.5 gallons of drinking water (about five or six bottles of mineral water) on their backs.

However, every day, many people still come to the visitor center in kanab town to participate in the lottery, in order to see this very small piece of stone. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu started driving towards kanab after visiting the Gongmen National Park yesterday. In order to catch the lottery at 9 o'clock in the morning, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had to sacrifice part of their sleeping time today while tired.

In the evening, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu settled in a small town called Richfield. It was already midnight when they settled. It was still two and a half hours to drive from Richfield to Kanab, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had to get up at 5:30 in the morning and continued on their way before 6:00.

To be honest, Yunluo didn't feel very tired, but his longing for lottery draws and his yearning for Wave Valley have kept Yunluo in a particularly excited state. While driving, Yunluo admired the sunrise in Utah and the small roadside village that had just woken up in the morning. It was also a very enjoyable thing.

It was exactly 8:40 when we arrived at kanab, and there were still 20 minutes left before the lottery draw. In the visitor center next to Highway 89 in Kanab Town, there were more than 60 passengers who came to participate in the lottery draw. Various languages ​​and skin colors allowed Yunluo to once again see the charm of this geographical wonder.

Before the lottery draw, the staff who presided over the lottery explained in detail the road and weather conditions to Wave Valley, which made the journey to Wave Valley very scary and difficult. She also said that two elderly people died of exhaustion a few months ago on the way, which further increased people's fear of going to Wave Valley.

But no matter how terrifying the staff said, no one left the lottery hall. Everyone was remembering their numbers to bless their success. The rules for lottery were simple. Each team would fill out a form to get a number, and finally put all the numbers into the rolling cage in the form of a small ball.

The number that falls when turning the Xiaolong is considered to be a winning lottery (very similar to a lottery). For example, if the number that falls corresponds to a three-person team, then there will be three places missing at once, leaving seven. Therefore, a draw of sixty people does not mean that there will be a winning rate of ten out of sixty.

Yunluo remembered that there were about 25 teams who came to draw lots that day, and each team had more than one person, so the probability of winning was much lower. The lottery began, and Yunluo stared at the few small balls nervously. The first number that fell out corresponded to a four-person team. Everyone's hearts suddenly became cold, and only six places were left.

Later, the numbers of two and three teams fell out one after another, and both were not in the same position as Yunluo. Yunluo arranged for himself to draw two days in his itinerary. The first day of the lottery was declared a failure, so he could only hope for tomorrow.

The draw at nine o'clock ended, but the day's trip was actually just beginning. Yunluo made a plan for today to go to the restaurant Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bay in Page Town, Arizona.

You can drive from kanab along Highway 89 for an hour across the state border to reach the page. Before you arrive at the page, you will see the magnificent Lake Powell - a huge reservoir built on the Gobi Desert, but it has become the favorite water tourism resort for residents around you. On the road, you can see many people and cars tied up yachts to prepare to take a good tour inside.

But Yunluo was not very interested in water projects, and Yunluo and Yan Chenyu mainly studied geography and did not come to play with water, so they took a few photos and went straight to Matiwan.
