中文注释:一条狭窄的小路环绕着一个岩石台地蜿蜒而下延伸至一个山谷,这个山谷如同镶嵌在众多岩石台地之间,为一个纵深的峡谷长年侵蚀而成。对于十九世纪中期淘金热和土地开拓热潮中踏上通向西部的俄勒岗小道的开拓者而言,内布拉斯州贝亚德地区的这一幕则是再寻常不过的了。有为开拓者层为此写道:“想象一片海,海浪卷起直达高山之颠,大地初成,碧草漫地,此情此景让人神往。” 文字及图片为国家地理杂志1986年8月《渴望西行:俄勒岗小道的生与死》一文而作,未刊发。 作者: James L. Amos
贝亚德内 岩石 台地 布拉斯加州 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Bayard Mesa, Nebraska, 1974A narrow trail hugs the sides of a mesa and descends into a valley etched by deep ravines and bordered by other large mesas. This scene in Bayard, Nebraska, would have been a common one for pioneers heading west on the Oregon Trail in the mid-1800s in search of land and fortunes in gold. One such pioneer wrote of the prairie: "Imagine the ocean, when the waves are rolling mountain high, becoming solid and covered with beautiful green grass, and you have some faint idea of it."
