Chapter 892 Hard Journey

Colorado, in Spanish, means "Red River".

The terrain difference is very large, causing the river to rush, probably because it rains in the upper reaches, causing the river to be mixed with a lot of mud and sand.

Today the Colorado River is red in color, winding westward until it enters the ocean from California.

Due to the snowfall in winter at the northern end of the Grand Canyon, the northern end of the Colorado Grand Canyon is closed from the end of October to May 15th of the following year, including roads and any service facilities, and visitors can only enter from the south.

Han Xuan had never experienced a real hiking trip. This time he was interested and followed the guide's advice. He decided to stay in the Grand Canyon of Colorado to experience the fun of wading through mountains and rivers in the wilderness.

Others who come to the Grand Canyon to hike in Colorado. In order to protect the landform, there are limited places to enter. They need to make an appointment one to six months in advance, and may not necessarily have a place.

But Han Xuan and the others were exceptional. After saying hello to the Geopark Management Office, they successfully entered the Grand Canyon.

Before coming in, the imagination was beautiful, but unfortunately the reality was not that interesting.

Bodyguards, including Secretary Dawson who often exercises, can accept this intensity of hiking, but Han Sun and Anya are more struggling.

In order to take care of them, I often walk around and stop, find a cool place and rest for a while, and then continue walking.

In summer, the highest temperature at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is as high as 53 degrees Celsius, which is not a place for humans to enter.

Today is 44 degrees Celsius. They originally thought it was already very hot. After hearing the tour guide's explanation, they realized that it was a lucky low temperature period, and it would probably rise again if it could not last for a few days.

Go downhill and into the canyon.

Han Xuan could no longer tell where he was, so he could only follow the artificially dug path under his feet and walk forward.

Sometimes there are cliffs on all sides and there is no exit, but soon, the turn of the peaks and turns will lead to another world.

The Grand Canyon is a deep trench cut by the Colorado River on the plateau.

The two-kilometer-high strata section is a real geological museum, telling the changes in the world over billions of years.

The bottom of the river is now the oldest strata, which has a history of 2.8 billion years. Along the way are layer by layer of strata with clear boundaries, indicating the great changes that have taken place here.

After living in big cities for a long time, Han Xuan and Anya were not used to the thick dust on the Beikai Babo Trail.

My neat clothes when I set off were soon covered with a layer of red dust. When I stepped on the steps, dust was everywhere.

It happened to be noon, and the sun was hanging high above my head. Most sections of the canyon had nowhere to hide from the sun.

Even with an umbrella, you can feel the thrilling heat around you...

"Hey!

Look, there is a Grand Canyon pink rattlesnake there!”

The tour guide lowered his body and pointed to the rock pile in the distance, the rattlesnake coiled in a triangular shape on his head.

Han Xuan looked in the direction he pointed. The snake was no more than 1.5 meters long, and its body was light pink under the sun, which was not very obvious.

There was a chipmunk foraging in the grass that was not aware of it at all and was approaching the direction of the rattlesnake step by step.

When the distance between the two was only one meter, the pink rattlesnake unique to the Colorado Grand Canyon moved!

It attacked its prey very quickly. Without careful observation, the rattlesnake had bitten the chipmunk.

Venom entered the chipmunk with the teeth of the rattlesnake. This cute little guy was destined to be far from death.

The pink rattlesnake in the Grand Canyon allowed its prey to escape, spitting out its forked tongue to collect the smell, and following it slowly.

It won't take long to get the chipmunks unconsciously and die, and they just need to pick them up.

A chipmunk is enough for this rattlesnake to digest for several days. During this period, you can find a place to lie comfortably and avoid the hot sun outside, and no longer have to worry about finding food...

Fat Ding, Winnie and Little Barry did not follow him this time. They flew directly to Los Angeles today. Then someone would take them to the Snow Mountain Zoo in Monterey Bay and handed them over to experts for physical examination.

The temperature in the Colorado Grand Canyon is too high for them to play. In a few days, Han Xuan will go to Ganbao Ocean Ranch to find them

This is an animal paradise, and you can often see animals such as raccoons, reindeer, lynx and mountain dogs along the way.

Not long after walking further, I was lucky enough to see a mountain lion, which is what people call a mountain lion.

It is very similar to the black alienated jaguar that Han Xuanyang has in appearance. The biggest difference is that there are no patterns on the jaguars, while they have them.

Walking in the Grand Canyon, pay special attention to the movements around you.

If you are bitten by animals such as the Grand Canyon pink rattlesnake, that's not a joke. Maybe you will be here because of the lack of timely rescue...

Keep moving forward while stepping on the red soil under your feet.

There was no wind in the valley today, and the hot air sank, like a stove, and they were all sweating all over.

Seeing that Anya's face turned red, she asked her, "How are you? Do you want to stop and rest for a while and drink some water?"

“It doesn’t matter, I… just feel hot.

It's okay to wait until you're tired before you're resting." Anya replied, the experience at this moment was very interesting to her, with a smile on her face.

“Then drink some water.

Be careful that you are dehydrated and don’t know it, but it will be troublesome if you have heatstroke.”

While Han Xuan spoke, he waved to Owen behind him and asked him to take a bottle of water from his bag to him.

Almost every half hour, you will encounter a temporary supply station, so you are not worried about lacking clean water.

After a century of development, the Grand Canyon of Colorado has retained its original landform while becoming a famous resort attraction, attracting millions of tourists from all over the world every year.

Upstream, a rapid boat came over the wind and waves. The extreme sports enthusiast on the boat shouted and said hello to them.

On the way, I met many such people. Han Xuan, who raised his hands and responded to him, also wanted to play with that, but the bodyguards thought it was dangerous and did not allow him to play with the torrent.

Hiking in the Grand Canyon of Colorado is already the limit they can accept...

Physical fatigue is exchanged for psychological enjoyment.

When we arrived at the Angels Camp in Bright, it was already evening and the Grand Canyon had changed its color again.

After taking a simple shower, I enjoyed a dinner that was not very good. Han Xuan was sweating profusely, and the shower was in vain.

During the period with travel enthusiasts from around the world, talk to each other about hiking experiences in the Colorado Grand Canyon.

My body was too tired and there were blisters on my feet. After Secretary Dawson helped the boss pick it up, he took off his socks and treated the blisters.

It took some time to set up a tent and they planned to have a good rest.

But after it got dark, a strong wind broke out in the valley, and the strong wind whistled with sand and dust, slapped the tent heavily.

The strong wind also carried the high temperature, turning the entire camp into a huge oven. Each tent was like aluminum foil, specially used to package Han Xuan and others' "foods".

The wind comes quickly and goes quickly.

Han Xuan lay in a dark and stuffy tent, unable to fall asleep for a long time, thinking that he had taken the wrong medicine and came to find the consequences.

Hearing Anya beside her muttering because it was too hot. In order to give her a good night's sleep, Han Xuan took a fan to help her fan the air.

As the night became darker, the temperature in the Colorado Grand Canyon gradually dropped to around twenty degrees Celsius, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

One night passed like this.

When dawn came, an extremely embarrassing scene happened in this black tent in the camp of the Angels of Light... (~^~)
