The crown jewel of the American Southwest and arguably one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world, Grand Canyon National Park winds for 277 miles through northern Arizona.

大峽谷國家公園（Grand Canyon National Park）是美國西南部皇冠上的明珠，也可以說是世界上最壯觀的自然奇觀之一，蜿蜒穿過亞利桑那州北部，全長 277 英里。

The canyon is a mile deep in most areas, formed over millions of years by the Colorado River, which runs at its base and separates the North Rim from the South Rim.

峽谷大部分地區有一英里深，由科羅拉多河經過數百萬年形成，科羅拉多河從峽谷底部流過，將北緣和南緣分隔開來。

Even though the distance between rims is just 10 miles across in most areas, keep in mind there's no bridge connecting them and it's about a five hour drive from one to the other.

儘管在大多數地區，兩圈之間的距離只有 10 英里，但請記住，兩圈之間沒有橋樑相連，從一個地方到另一個地方大約需要 5 個小時的車程。

The vast majority of travelers visit just the South Rim of the canyon, which is closest to Phoenix and Interstate 40.

絕大多數遊客都只遊覽峽谷的南緣，那裡離鳳凰城和 40 號州際公路最近。

The North Rim is only accessible by passing through southern Utah, and its remoteness means that it receives far fewer visitors.

只有通過猶他州南部才能到達北緣，而它的偏遠意味著遊客要少得多。

Things to do.

可做的事

Just visiting and standing in awe of the Grand Canyon is an experience in and of itself.

光是參觀大峽谷並對其肅然起敬本身就是一種體驗。

Even with the crowds, take the time to explore the visitor's center and walk through Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim.

即使人潮擁擠，您也可以花時間遊覽遊客中心，漫步南緣大峽谷村。

The further you venture from the main tourist traps where everybody is looking, the fewer people there will be and the more solitude you'll get to take in the majesty of the canyon.

越是遠離人頭攢動的主要旅遊景點，人就越少，您就越能獨享峽谷的雄偉壯觀。

If you're looking to adventure at the Grand Canyon, there's everything from camping to hiking to biking and rafting.

如果您想在大峽谷探險，露營、徒步旅行、騎自行車和漂流應有盡有。

From helicopter tours to mule rides, there's no way you'll be bored visiting the Grand Canyon.

從直升機遊覽到騎騾子，遊覽大峽谷絕對不會讓您感到無聊。

However, when planning your activities, make sure to pick ones on the same side of the rim.

不過，在計劃活動時，一定要選擇在環形山同一側的活動。

The last thing you want to do is accidentally book a hiking trip on one side and rafting on the other.

您最不想做的事情就是不小心一邊預訂了徒步旅行，另一邊又預訂了漂流。

You can rent bikes on the South Rim and venture up and down the Hermit Road.

您可以在南緣租借自行車，在隱士之路（Hermit Road）上上下下。

This seven-mile bike ride is closed to car traffic from March to November, making it one of the most scenic routes to bike in the world.

從三月到十一月，這條七英里長的自行車道禁止汽車通行，是世界上風景最優美的自行車道之一。

Yaki Point Road is another popular bike ride, albeit a much longer one, clocking in at, well, 42 miles.

亞基角路（Yaki Point Road）是另一條受歡迎的自行車騎行路線，儘管路程更長，達到 42 英里。

Best hikes and trails.

最佳遠足路線

If hiking is your outdoor event of choice, there's nothing that compares to trekking in the Grand Canyon.

如果徒步旅行是您戶外活動的首選，那麼沒有什麼能與在大峽谷徒步旅行相比。

There are hiking trails on the North Rim and South Rim, but keep in mind that if you want to hike down the canyon to the river, you'll need at least two days to hike down and back up.

北緣和南緣都有徒步路徑，但要注意的是，如果您想沿著峽谷徒步下到河邊，您至少需要兩天時間徒步下到河邊，然後再徒步返回。

There are a couple of options for day hikes if you don't plan to spend the night, so make sure you know what you're getting into before you begin.

如果您不打算在這裡過夜，也有幾種日間徒步旅行的選擇，所以在開始之前一定要了解自己的情況。

If you are planning to camp in the park outside of a reserved campground, you'll need to apply for a backcountry permit.

The entire trail from the rim to the base is 9.5 miles one way, but day hikers can turn around at any point or sleep in the campground at the bottom.

This is the backpacking trip of legends and not for the faint of heart.

這就是傳說中的揹包旅行，膽小者可千萬別來。

沿著峽谷迂迴而下，徒步旅行者會到達一個小綠洲，這裡有流動的瀑布和茂密的綠色植被，四周是沙漠。

There are different trailheads to begin the hike, but the one-way journey is between eight and 15 miles, depending on where you start.

徒步旅行有不同的起點，單程在 8 到 15 英里之間，具體取決於起點。

Rim Trail.

邊緣小徑

Descending the canyon and hiking back up isn't for everyone, but the Rim Trail, which begins at the South Rim Visitor Center, has little elevation change.

下到峽谷再徒步返回並不適合所有人，但從南緣遊客中心開始的環形路徑海拔變化很小。

Hike along the rim for one of the easiest Grand Canyon adventures, stopping at the various viewpoints along the way to get a bird's eye view of the park.

沿著大峽谷邊緣徒步旅行，是最輕鬆的大峽谷探險活動之一，沿途在各個觀景點停留，鳥瞰公園全景。

River Rafting.

漂流河

To get a totally different perspective of the Grand Canyon, swap out your hiking poles for oars and start at the bottom.

要想從完全不同的角度欣賞大峽谷，可以把登山杖換成船槳，從谷底開始。

Rafting through the Grand Canyon is a dream excursion, varying from peaceful floating to rapid whitewaters.

The rafting options available are as short as a half day or as long as three weeks.

漂流時間短則半天，長則三週。

Three weeks!

三週

But spending a few days boating down the river and camping along the way is the most popular option.

不過，花幾天時間划船沿河而下並在沿途露營是最受歡迎的選擇。

You can either book a trip with a tour operator so you don't have to worry about the details, or apply for a permit to raft on your own.

您可以向旅行社預訂行程，這樣就不必擔心細節問題，也可以自己申請漂流許可。

Desert View is about 23 miles east of Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim.

附近的住宿地點

The only lodging option at the base of the canyon below the rim that isn't backcountry camping is the Phantom Ranch, which is accessible by hiking down, riding a mule, or rafting.

在邊緣以下的峽谷底部，唯一不是野外露營的住宿選擇是幻影牧場（Phantom Ranch），可以通過徒步下山、騎騾子或漂流等方式到達。

The incomparable location means it's exceptionally popular and you'll need to enter into a lottery to get a chance at staying in one of the cabins or dormitories.

無與倫比的地理位置意味著這裡異常受歡迎，您需要參加抽籤，才有機會住進小木屋或宿舍。

Around the park, there are all kinds of lodging options from rustic cabins to resorts.

公園周圍有各種住宿選擇，從鄉村小木屋到度假村應有盡有。

Just pay attention to which rim your choice is located on or, again, you may end up being very far away.

只需注意您選擇的位置在哪條環線上，否則，您可能會離得很遠。

The nearest big city to the South Rim is Flagstaff, Arizona, which is often referred to as the gateway to the Grand Canyon and serves as a base for many people visiting the national park.

距離南緣最近的大城市是亞利桑那州的弗拉格斯塔夫（Flagstaff），這裡通常被稱為通往大峽谷的門戶，是許多人遊覽國家公園的基地。

The most elegant lodging option that's located within the park, this historic hotel has been housing guests since 1905.

How to get there.

如何前往

If you're visiting the North Rim, flying into Las Vegas and driving from there is your best bet.

如果您要遊覽北緣，最好先飛抵拉斯維加斯，然後從那裡駕車前往。

Renting a car from McCarran International Airport is easy to do, but it is an additional four and a half hour drive to get to the Grand Canyon.

從麥卡倫國際機場租車很方便，但前往大峽谷還需要四個半小時的車程。

Flying in early, tackling that drive, then resting at your hotel before venturing out to explore is recommended.

建議您早些乘飛機抵達，然後在酒店休息，再外出遊覽。

If you're visiting the South Rim, flying into Phoenix or Flagstaff are the best options.

如果您要遊覽南緣，飛往鳳凰城或弗拉格斯塔夫是最佳選擇。

Flagstaff is closest, but it's a small airport, so there's only a handful of flights that fly in and out of there.

弗拉格斯塔夫距離最近，但那是個小機場，所以只有少數班機從那裡飛進飛出。

Most visitors fly into Phoenix International Airport and begin the journey from there.

大多數遊客飛抵鳳凰城國際機場，然後從那裡開始旅程。

However, the drive from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon is about three and a half hours, so make sure to factor in that travel time into your plans.

不過，從鳳凰城到大峽谷的車程約為三個半小時，是以請務必將旅行時間考慮在內。

Accessibility.

無障礙環境。

All of the shuttle buses in the park are wheelchair accessible for moving around the Rim, but the trails descending the canyon are steep, rocky, and narrow.

公園內的所有穿梭巴士都可以讓輪椅在環山公路上通行，但下行的峽谷小徑陡峭、多岩石且狹窄。

Many of the buildings located in the park are historical and also not accessible for visitors with mobility challenges.

公園內的許多建築都具有歷史意義，也不方便行動不便的遊客進入。

However, there is a scenic drive accessibility permit that allows visitors with disabilities to access park roads that are usually off-limits to tourists.

不過，有一種景觀車道無障礙通行證允許殘疾遊客進入通常禁止遊客進入的公園道路。

Visitors with permanent disabilities can also apply for an access pass that provides free lifetime admission into over 2,000 recreation areas across the US, including all of the national parks.

有永久性殘疾的遊客還可以申請無障礙通行證，終身免費進入全美 2000 多個娛樂區，包括所有國家公園。

That'll be a long holiday then.

那假期可就長了。

However, only the South Rim is open during the winter months.

不過，冬季只有南緣開放。

The monsoon season occurs from July to September, bringing daily thunderstorms that start in the afternoon.

Try and stay for the sunset, which is stupendous to see against the rusty colors of the canyon.

儘量留下來看日落，在峽谷鐵鏽色的映襯下，日落美不勝收。

Hermit's Rest on the South Rim is a particularly scenic spot for views at dusk.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a man-made walkway that hangs over the canyon edge that you may have seen pictures of.

大峽谷空中步道是一條懸掛在峽谷邊緣的人造步道，您可能已經看到過它的照片。

However, you won't find the Skywalk inside the National Park.

不過，您在國家公園內找不到天空步道。

It's in an area called Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, and it's closer to Las Vegas than it is to the North Rim or the South Rim.

它位於哈拉派印第安人保留地上一個叫大峽谷西區的地方，離拉斯維加斯比離北緣或南緣更近。

And there you have the Grand Canyon National Park, the complete guide.
