1010-13, Redrock Canyon State Park

Red Rock Canyon State Park features scenic desert cliffs, 

buttes and spectacular rock formations. 

The park is located where the southernmost tip of the Sierra Nevada converge with the El 

Paso Range. 

Each tributary canyon is unique, with dramatic shapes and vivid colors. 

Historically, the area was once home to the Kawaiisu Indians,

 

who left petroglyphs in the El Paso mountains and other evidence of their inhabitation.

 

The spectacular gash situated at the western edge of the El Paso mountain range was on the

 Native American trade route for thousands of years. 

During the early 1870s, the colorful rock formations in the park served as landmarks for 

20-mule team freight wagons that stopped for water.

 

About 1850, it was used by the footsore survivors of the famous Death Valley trek including

 members of the Arcane and Bennett families along with some of the Illinois Jayhawkers

. 

The park now protects significant paleontology sites and the remains of 1890s-era mining operations, 

and has been the site for a number of movies.

After wet winters, the park's floral displays are stunning.

 

This winter was very dry so the wildflowers should be sparse this year,

 

but the beauty of the desert, combined with the geologic features make this park a camper's

 favorite destination.

 

Wildlife you may encounter includes roadrunners, hawks, lizards, mice and squirrels.

시에라 네바다 사막이 끝나는 곳에 위치한 이 공원은

바위들의 화려한 생강을 자랑하면서

수천년을 이어온 무역의 통로였다.

더구나 이곳은 데스밸리를 경유하는 무역인들이 휴식처를 제공하기도 했다.

짠~~~~

놀라지 마십시요.

이것이 유명한 바위인지는 모르겠지만 내가 아는 상식이 없으니 내가 발견한걸루 하겠습니다.

오른쪽 끝에 있는 바위가 뭘 닮았습니까?
