You’ll never know until you try~

In the scorching August of 2014, on the burning wilderness, two women set off with maps in hand and courage wrapped around them. Over 21 days, they traveled through six U.S. national parks and five unique landscapes. Their grand adventure turned out to be even more amazing than imagined XD. The ever-changing bedrock beneath their feet was nothing short of astonishing — this is a story, a record of a travel expedition.

Arches National Park in Utah is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, making it the place with the highest concentration of such formations in the world. The rocks stand like a forest, with each arch standing independently. Peering forward through the narrowed eyes of an arch feels like seeing the world from a different angle, shifting your mood — isn’t this what travel is all about? Finding yourself through untouched nature offers a full sensory experience.

The primary reason for the formation of these unique rock arches is due to the interplay of water, ice, extreme temperature fluctuations, and the movement of underground salt — all governed by physics. Standing beneath the grandeur of a massive arch, one can't help but feel the greatness of nature and be moved beyond words. If nature’s movements were merely physical processes, then travel might seem like just a shift in space. But happily, we’ve discovered a perspective beyond dull textbooks — a heartfelt, enthusiastic angle that connects us all and fills us with awe for the world.

Nighttime reveals another face of nature — yet another mark of time’s passage as stars shift and move. Camping near Arches National Park may sound simple, but deciding to take that bold gamble of getting close to the earth is not. The sounds of the vast fields under starry skies bring anticipation and a childlike joy. The excitement is almost too much to sleep through. Sleeping in a tent, with its not-quite-white fabric stretched over thick wooden beams, accompanied by the soft whisper of wind and the twinkling night sky above, is the best way to truly experience what night means.

The horseshoe-shaped marvel of Horseshoe Bend is a casual stroke of nature — where the Colorado River carved a 180-degree turn through the canyon, creating a U-shaped curve that resembles a horse’s hoof, thus earning its famous name. Standing high above Horseshoe Bend, you don’t just admire the breathtaking view; the contrast between geology, flowing water, and the colors of the sky makes you feel like a painter of nature sketching in this world of imagination. Time seems to flow backward, fading away, and when you open your eyes again, it's as if you’re witnessing the birth of a piece of art.

National parks are treasures of nature, and each has its own unique features. As the travel enthusiasts say: pass by it, walk by it, but never miss it. If your heart is set on the trip, act now~
