Zion National Park

A dream destination for hikers and photographers, Zion National Park may be located in the desert, but its terrain is anything but barren. Formed over millions of years of erosion, the park's myriad rock formations, numerous wilderness trails, and unique wildlife beckon visitors seeking solitude and inspiration. The park's many canyons, animal communities, and cultural sites are perfect for exploring in any season, but spring and fall are when the weather is most pleasant and the flowers are in full bloom.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park, located in southwestern Utah, is not a true canyon, despite its name. Instead, it forms a vast natural amphitheater formed by erosion along the eastern face of the Ponsagant Plateau. Its unique geological formations, known as rock pillars, are formed by wind, river water, and ice erosion, along with sedimentary rocks from lakebeds. The red, orange, and white rocks within these formations create a unique natural landscape, earning it the nickname "Palace of Natural Stone Figurines."

Lower Antelope Canyon

The Lower Antelope Canyon is located in the north of Arizona, USA. It is formed by soft sandstone after millions of years of various erosion forces. Flash floods often flow into the canyon during the monsoon season. Due to the sudden increase in rainfall, the flow rate of the flash flood is quite fast. In addition, the narrow channel narrows the river channel, so the vertical erosion force is relatively large, forming the corridor at the bottom of the Lower Antelope Canyon and the hard and smooth edges on the valley wall that look like flowing water. There is no artificial lighting in the Lower Antelope Canyon. All visible light comes from the cracks at the top of the canyon. These lights are repeatedly refracted by the rock texture and enter the valley bottom, producing a dreamy and irregular color change. These colors are from deep to light, colorful and beautiful.

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend – One of the top ten best photography spots in the United States selected by National Geographic Magazine! The dense aquatic plants on the Colorado River bed make the river water appear fluorescent green in the sun. The river turns 360 degrees in the reddish-brown canyon here, cutting out a horseshoe-shaped canyon, hence the name Horseshoe Bend. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you will be intoxicated by the breathtaking beauty of the blue water, blue sky and red rocks.

Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park, located in northwestern Arizona, is the 15th site in the United States to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, has received more than six million recreational visitors in 2017, which is the second highest count of visits in all American national parks after the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
