Amazing Colors, Beautiful Area
黄石大峡谷的点评
点评：This beautiful canyon is approximately 24 miles long and between 800 and 1200 feet deep. The vibrant colors in striking shades of yellow, orange, red and pink were caused by hydro-thermal activity and iron oxidation of the underlying volcanic rocks. These rocks had been rapidly cut down by great glacial outburst floods and hence the faces are sheer and steep.
It is the colors that prompted the Minnetaree Indians to give this area the name of “Rocha Jaune”. The French trappers translated it to “Yellow Stone”. That is how the Park got its name. The first written description of this Canyon is in the book by Charles Cook written in 1869.
The Artist Point at the end of the walking trail on the South Rim is a famous viewpoint from where you can get a sweeping iconic view of the Lower Falls on one side and the glorious colors of the Canyon on the other. Every photo that we took looked like a postcard, but still none did justice to what we were staring at in person.
We spent about an hour here. There were many places where we stopped to take pictures. There are a lot of informational plaques, and we spent a little time reading them.
A “Must Visit” Area.

翻译：这个美丽的峡谷长约24英里，深度在800至1200英尺之间。峡谷中呈现出鲜艳的黄色、橙色、红色和粉色，这些色彩是由热液活动以及底层火山岩中的铁元素氧化所形成的。这些岩石曾被大规模的冰川洪水迅速侵蚀，因此峡谷壁面极为陡峭且垂直。
正是这些色彩促使米内塔雷印第安人将此地命名为“Rocha Jaune”。法国猎人将其译为“黄石”。公园也由此得名。关于这条峡谷的最早文字描述出现在查尔斯·库克于1869年所著的书中。
南缘徒步道的尽头有个名为“艺术家点”的观景台，是个著名的眺望点：从这里可以一边欣赏下瀑布的壮丽景象，一边饱览峡谷中绚烂多彩的景色。我们拍下的每一张照片都宛如一张明信片。不过，没有一张照片能完美呈现我们亲眼所见的景象。
我们在这里停留了大约一小时。途中我们在很多地方停下来拍照。这里有许多介绍牌，我们也花了一些时间阅读这些内容。
绝对值得一游的景点。
