Introduction of Eco-tourism Attractions in North America
To go to America, the following attractions must be visited!
1 Grand Canyon National Park
After millions of years of ingenious carving by nature, the Grand Canyon has become a landscape that everyone marvels at. It is 300 miles long and about 1 mile deep, like a scar on the earth, lying in the southwest of the United States. Former US President theodore roosevelt put it well: "Anyone's intervention will only destroy the Grand Canyon. Since it is God's masterpiece, let God change it. "
Niagara falls.
Niagara Falls, which spans the United States and Canada, is the largest waterfall in North America. Here, 4 million cubic feet of water beats against the coast every minute, which not only makes it a magnificent natural landscape, but also an important hydraulic resource. Once upon a time, generations of honeymooners chose this place to celebrate their wedding in front of the iconic waterfall background. Many desperate people jumped into the waterfall, but fortunately they all survived in the end.
Everglades National Park
Florida Everglades National Park is a vast low-lying wasteland, located in the subtropical zone, covering thousands of square miles. It is also called "Green Grass River" because the sawgrass drifts with the current. It also has the most complete biodiversity landscape in the United States, and is home to palm trees, cypresses, mangroves, snakes, leopards, alligators, crocodiles and other animals and plants.
Kilauea volcano (kρLauea)
Kilauea means "gushing" in Hawaiian. According to local mythology, Kilauea volcano erupts whenever the volcano goddess Pellet gets angry. For nearly thirty years, it has been the most active volcano on earth. 1983 once broke out.
5 Death Valley National Park.
Death Valley National Park is a place that challenges many human limits. The temperature below zero in winter is very common, and the temperature in summer can be as high as 54 degrees Celsius. Only a few plants and animals that can withstand the dry and hot climate in North America can take root here. Since the park is almost as big as the whole of Connecticut, travelers need to prepare enough water, take a map, walk along the paved road in the park, and then register with the park management office to go deep into the canyon.
6 Sequoia National Park
California's Sequoia National Park extends along the coast of Big Sur to the state boundary of Oregon. The trees here have been around for centuries. As the largest biological species in nature, redwood trees can grow to more than 300 feet high and 20 feet in diameter. In the 19 th century, it was almost extinct in the pioneering movement in the western United States. Today, more than a dozen national parks and state parks in the United States have included them in the scope of protection.
7 salt lakes
The Great Salt Lake in Utah covers an area of more than 2,500 square miles and is the largest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere. Early explorers thought that the Pacific Ocean extended here; Local indigenous tribes believe that there are water monsters lurking in the water. The ever-moving coastline has hindered the development of the two sides of the strait, so it is still sparsely populated. However, the wetlands around the lake have become one of the most important migratory bird habitats in the United States.
Mammoth cave National Park.
Mammoth Cave National Park, located under the bedrock in central Kentucky, is the longest cave in the world. It covers an area of 50000 acres. As a world cultural site and biosphere reserve, the park provides an excellent place for cave explorers. Its 365-mile promenade is far ahead of Nandaka 145-mile gem cave promenade.
9 McKinley Hill
American Indians call the highest mountain in North athabasca Mount Denari, which means "high mountain". It is 20,320 feet high and its main peak is located in Denari National Park. Only a century ago, someone first reached its peak. Today, half of the explorers can reach the summit, but nearly 100 people have died.
10 old faithful fountain
The Old Faithful Fountain is a highlight of Huangshi National Park. It shoots thousands of gallons of boiling water into the air, sometimes reaching a height of 1.85 feet. This kind of natural hot fountain usually erupts every 90 minutes, sometimes the interval may be as long as 2 hours, and the short one is as long as 45 minutes.
1 1 The Lost Sea
Sweet Water City, located in Tennessee, is the largest underground lake in the United States and the second largest underground lake in the world, and it is also a part of Craig Hurd's Cave. A century ago, a 13-year-old child discovered it while exploring Craighead Cave. The caves are full of crystal clusters, stalagmites, stalactites, some mysterious rocks and even underground waterfalls.
12 fisherman's tower
Fisherman's Tower is located in the south of Utah, and sandstone rocks protect this land like guardians. After centuries of wind and rain, the fisherman's tower has become like this. Its spire is 500 feet high and attracts many brave climbers.
13 Liangyang Pass
This mountain pass in Wyoming spans the watershed of the Los Angeles Mountains in the continental United States, where you can see the unique scenery of the United States: the river divides into two tributaries, all the way west to the Pacific Ocean, all the way east to the Gulf of Mexico and finally into the Atlantic Ocean. In theory, a fish swimming through this mountain pass is equivalent to swimming all over the continental United States.
14 crater
It is said that this huge crater with a width of 4,000 feet and a depth of 600 feet in the Arizona desert was formed by a meteor impact 50,000 years ago. Scientists speculate that the speed at which meteors hit the surface is about 30,000 miles per hour. This crater is named after the first scientist who put forward the idea of meteorite impact. Three years later, President theodore roosevelt authorized the establishment of a post office near the crater.
15 Rock Town
This may be the only "city" in Idaho where no human beings live. There are granite boulders, peaks and some rocks with a history of 2.5 billion years. Today's Rock Town attracts many climbers. But as early as 1840, the caravan of pioneers who settled in California left its mark here. Drivers marked rocks with lubricating oil, many of which are still clearly visible today.

Death Valley National Park is mainly located in southeastern California, USA, with a small corner extending to Nevada. Geographically, the park is located in the basins and mountains of North America. There is frequent crustal activity in this area. The crust in the east extends eastward and the crust in the west extends westward. The crust here sinks in bands and is decomposed into horst mountains and graben basins that strike roughly north and south. Basins and mountains are particularly prominent in Death Valley, because it is the lowest altitude in the Western Hemisphere. Because the altitude here is very low and the climate is very hot, it is not suitable for visiting in summer, and it is only suitable for visiting from late autumn to early spring every year. There are saline-alkali land, sand dunes, craters, canyons and snow-capped mountains. In the park, there are also rich geological features. When the canyon empties into the desert, it is not difficult for tourists to find all kinds of faults in the crust and alluvial fan plain.
The world-famous Colorado Grand Canyon is about 330 kilometers long. The Grand Canyon is located in the northwest corner of Arizona, with a width ranging from 6 kilometers to dozens of kilometers, and the deepest point can reach 1824 meters, nearly 2 kilometers. The Grand Canyon is the Colorado River and its tributaries, which have been continuously alluvial for tens of millions of years. It is a shocking miracle cut from the Colorado River flowing down from the Kaibabu Plateau. It is magnificent and breathtaking. No matter on the south bank or the north bank, you can clearly see a big crack on the plateau as flat as a table, which is the mark carved by the Colorado River on this vast land.
The Colorado River is the main river in North America. It cut 19 major canyons on the Colorado Plateau, of which the deepest, widest and longest one is the Colorado Grand Canyon. This canyon starts from Mabel Canyon and ends at Grandvash Cliff, which is one of the longest and deepest canyons in the world. It takes three to four hours from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. The width of both sides of the valley is less than 1 km, and the narrow part is only120 m. The valley walls on both sides are stepped. From the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, a series of rock series from Precambrian to Cenozoic are exposed along the wall, with clear horizontal levels and different rock tones, and representative biological fossils in various geological periods are called "living geological history textbooks".
The Grand Canyon of Colorado is famous for its huge scale and richness. The most fascinating thing about the Grand Canyon is that with the pursuit of sunshine and clouds, the color of the canyon is ever-changing. The most important reason why it has attracted people's attention and been listed in the World Natural Heritage List lies in its extremely important geological significance-well-preserved, completely exposed rock strata, which almost recorded the entire geological history of the early North American continent. Paleozoic rocks 5.5-2.5 million years ago were recorded here, and the rocks after that were either not deposited or weathered. The formation of the canyon is much later than its rocks (about 50,000-60,000 years ago), and it is also much more complicated, mainly due to the erosion of the Colorado River, and the flowing erosion such as rainfall and melting of ice and snow is almost equally important. The peculiar shape is mainly due to the different speed of water scouring on rocks with different structures. The rich color of the canyon is caused by a small amount of various minerals, and the iron-rich rocks are red or reddish brown.
19 19, the US Congress passed a bill to turn the deepest part of the Grand Canyon, which is about170km long and covers an area of 2,728km2, into a national park. Now, millions of domestic and foreign tourists come here every year to enjoy the wonders of nature and understand the magical changes of the earth for hundreds of millions of years.
Grand teton national park is close to the southern end of Yellowstone National Park, and it feels like an affiliate of Yellowstone National Park. It is only because Yellowstone is too big that a national park was set up independently. Having said that, the landscape is actually very different from Huangshi. It's just that Yellowstone is too big and rich, and suddenly it's a bit of a gap to come to Teton.
The scenery of Grand Teton is an unchangeable mountain range, with snow and glaciers that do not melt for many years. There are several lakes carved by glaciers in the valley. The so-called lakes and mountains describe such a typical scene. The expressway around the park is only surrounded by lakes in the valley, and the mountains you see are also bottom-up.
Mount Rainier is the highest volcano in the United States, with the largest single glacier and the largest glacier system except Alaska. Due to the high humidity of the east wind blowing from the Pacific Ocean, the biggest snowfall in the whole year in the history of the earth is here. At the same time, this mountain is also the main training ground for American mountaineering teams.
Mount Rainier National Park is a park centered on Mount Rainier, located in the west of Washington State and the south of Seattle. This national park was built in 1899 to protect the natural scenery of Mount Rainier.
Mount Rainier is one of the most magnificent mountains in the world. Looking from the top of the mountain, the scenery below 1500 meters is all hidden in the foggy sea, and only the higher peak protrudes from a corner, just like a floating island in the sea. The top of the mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round, and 27 glaciers are sprayed around it. In addition, in the grassland on the mountainside, the snow and ice melt in July and August every year, and bloom is full of mountains and becomes a beautiful sea of flowers.
At the foot of the mountain is a large dense virgin forest, with lakes and waterfalls strewn at random. The Emmons Glacier on the eastern hillside is the largest glacier in America. In summer, the melting snow water of glaciers merges into swift streams and pouring waterfalls, and the sound of water flows in the valley.
The paradise and sunrise in the park are highly cherished and protected by people. "Heaven is located in the southwest of Rainier Mountain, with extremely high terrain. In addition to the beautiful mountain scenery, there are gurgling water, clear waterfalls and lakes, and the famous Paradise River in the north of Paradise.
Sunrise, located in the north of Mount Rainier, is the highest scenic spot in Mount Rainier National Park, where you can not only enjoy the magnificent glacier wonders, but also overlook the beautiful Baker Mountain and the Pacific Ocean in the park.
