Zion Lodge 錫安小屋

The fifth stop: Zion Lodge — located in the heart of Zion Canyon, it offers a variety of accommodations and is the only place inside the park where you can lodge and purchase food.

The lodge was designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood in 1923 and completed in May 1925. The original structures were built with whole logs in a “studs-out” style and featured less stonework than other national park buildings.

The main lodge building stood for over forty years until it was destroyed by fire on January 26, 1966. Remarkably, just 108 days after the fire, a new prefabricated building was completed and opened to visitors.

From the lodge, you can walk to the trailheads for Emerald Pools, Sand Bench, Angels Landing, and The Grotto.

第五站: 錫安小屋位於錫安峽谷的中心。這裡提供各種住宿,是園區內唯一可以住宿和購買食物的地方。

它由吉爾伯特·安德伍德 (Gilbert Stanley Underwood) 於 1923 年設計,於 1925 年 5 月竣工。這些建築採用「突出」風格的整根原木建造,比其他國家公園建築使用更少的石材。

旅館主樓矗立了四十多年,直到 1966 年 1 月 26 日被一場大火燒毀。火災發生後僅 108 天,一座新的預製建築就建成並開始使用。

從旅館出發,您可以步行至翡翠池、沙灘、天使降臨之頂和石窟步道起點。

Grotto 石窟步道

The sixth stop: The Grotto. From here, you can access several trails, including The Grotto, Kayenta, West Rim, and Angels Landing.

We originally planned to take the Emerald Pools Trail from Zion Lodge, but it was closed. So instead, we decided to hike the half-mile Grotto Trail from here to Zion Lodge. The trail is almost completely level and offers a short, pleasant stroll.

第六站:石窟步道。您可以從這裡進入以下步道:石窟、Kayenta、西峡谷 (West Rim)、天使降臨之頂。

我們原本想在錫安小屋走翡翠池步道,但是步道關了,我們就決定從這裏走半英里的石窟步道到錫安小屋。這條步道幾乎完全是平的,是個短而輕鬆的散步步道。

Weeping Rock, Big Bend 流淚石,大彎點

The seventh stop: Weeping Rock, and the eighth stop: Big Bend. I don’t have any special photos from these two stops — just a few taken from the shuttle bus.

第七站:流淚石,第八站:大彎點。我沒有這兩個景點特別的照片,只有幾張在接駁車上照的照片。

Zion–Mount Carmel Highway 錫安-卡梅爾山高速公路

We were preparing to leave the park, driving along the Zion–Mount Carmel Highway toward Canyon Overlook.

我們準備要離開公園了,沿著錫安-卡梅爾山高速公路開車至峽谷觀景台。

Canyon Overlook 峽谷觀景台

Canyon Overlook is a moderate 1-mile (1.6 km) trail located on the east side of Zion. At the end of the trail, it opens up to a stunning viewpoint overlooking Zion Canyon, with excellent views of the Towers of the Virgin.

The peaks of the Towers of the Virgin (from south to northeast) include: The Sundial, The Witch Head, Broken Tooth, Rotten Tooth, Altar of Sacrifice, Meridian Tower, Bee Hive, and The Sentinel.

Although it’s only a 1.0-mile out-and-back trail with a 187-foot elevation gain, it still offers a decent workout.

峽谷觀景台是位於錫安公園東側、全長 1 英里(1.6公里)的中等難度步道。在步道的盡頭,有一個絕佳的觀景台,可以俯瞰錫安峽谷,並欣賞 Towers of the Virgin 的美景。

聖母塔的山峰(從南到東北)包括:日晷 (The Sundial)、女巫頭 (Witch Head)、斷牙 (Broken Tooth)、爛牙 (Rotten Tooth)、祭壇 (Altar of Sacrifice)、子午線塔 (Meridian Tower)、蜂巢 (Bee Hive)和哨兵 (The Sentinel)。

雖然它只是一條往返 1.0 英里的步道,但海拔增益有 187 英尺,所以不太輕鬆,會運動到。
