在我踏上大峡谷南缘的前夜,刚刚下了一场暴雪。这是5月的中旬,因此落雪潮湿而泥泞,不足以形成积雪。潮气使小径路口的松软土壤变成了灰褐色,也使空气中散发着黄松木的味道。我走的是一条被称为“新汉斯”的小径,它毫不拐弯抹角,直通向峡谷的边缘,在一个急弯后,陡然跃下山坡,径直到达终点——1350米之下的峡谷谷底和科罗拉多河岸。 On the eve of my embarking on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon, I just had a blizzard. This is mid-May, so falling snow is wet and muddy, not enough to create snow. The moisture turned the soft soil at the footpath into a taupe, leaving the air with yellow pine wood. I walked down a trail called “New Hans”, which made its way to the edge of the canyon. After a sharp bend, it suddenly jumped down the hill and reached the finish line - the bottom of the valley at 1350 meters Colorado River Bank.
