Because the vegetation here is sparse, the rocks are strange in shape and look like an alien planet, they are called the Badlands National Park. Badlands National Park is next to Highway 90 where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are running all the way, but you can't find the strange terrain here until you enter the park gate.

The stones here are the yellowish yellow that Yunluo had never seen before, and occasionally there were sparse weeds on the surface. At this time, the sun was slowly setting in the west, and the bright red light was shining, and a large cloud of dark clouds surged in the east. It was so vast that the whole scene really looked like an alien surface.

As expected, each of the national parks in the United States has its own unique place. The more you see this evil park, the more you look, the more you are very different from the Grand Canyon. It is less magnificent, more gloomy, less sensual, and more cunning. Although the fame of the evil park is much smaller than that of other national parks, it will definitely not disappoint if you come here.

Because of time and planning, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not have more time to visit this strange geological landscape. They just saw the tip of the iceberg and continued to rush, but the few hours of staying in the Badlands National Park also made Yunluo and Yan Chenyu deeply remembered it.

There are really too many geological structures on this vast land of the United States that can make people amazing. Although the United States only has more than two hundred years of cultural history, these extremely different surface forms tell the ancient stories of the earth in this young country that are hundreds of millions of years old.

After going from Badlands National Park, you basically entered the flat Midwest Plain. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not go to any scenic spots except for a short stay at the University of Iowa for a night. From the barren Gobi desert to the steep mountains and ridges, to the lush and endless scenery, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could smile and say to themselves that the territory of the United States is just that.

It can be said that the journey of fifteen days has not been smooth along the way, and the itinerary set up by Yunluo almost reached 90%. Although I have seen so many beautiful scenery along the way, Yunluo always feels that there are still many places that have not been seen enough, and I always hope to stay in some place for a while.

This large area of ​​the western United States is really bold. It seems that after a trip, my temperament has also reached a higher level.

This trip has been something Yunluo has been dreaming of for a long time. Every time I want to set off, either because the season is not suitable or the time is not enough, so I haven't traveled for a long time.

This time, when he learned that he would have a few weeks before school starts at the end of August, Yunluo started his plan to travel west three months in advance.

Making a plan is also a very exciting process. Many times, you can accidentally find some beautiful scenery from the guides on the Internet. As long as you do not deviate from Yunluo's general route, Yunluo will happily add them to your itinerary.

Moreover, Yunluo will read travel notes written by different tourists at each attraction. Yunluo will only be written into the plan after confirming that it is really worth going, so there is no stop along the way that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu feel like a waste of time.

Yunluo printed out a simple map of all the national parks found by Yunluo, made the addresses of all the passing points into tables for easy input to the navigation device, and also intercepted many very practical travel notes. Yunluo put these information in a clip and carried them with him. After walking for more than ten days, he was almost broken by Yunluo.

There are commemorative seals in the visitor centers of each national park. Yunluo stamped the corresponding national park seals on the homework Yunluo did in advance, which can be regarded as a review of the homework of Yunluo and other students by these geography teachers.

Summer is the peak tourist season for Western National Parks in the United States. It is difficult to book a hotel and it is expensive. However, since Yunluo started paying attention to the hotel two or three months in advance, he did not encounter any obstacles.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu have not stayed in luxury hotels for more than ten days. They have booked all economic chain motels on the roadside, and the prices are basically between $60 and $120.

Fortunately, the service industry in the United States is really developed, and the sanitary conditions and supporting facilities of these small hotels are not bad at all. Even the camping camps have very complete service facilities, which really makes it feel at home for self-driving backpackers like Yunluo and Yan Chenyu.

Moreover, Yunluo felt that if he really drove into Hilton every night, it would destroy the atmosphere of galloping in the wilderness. So Yunluo felt that the accommodation along the way was both economical and unworried.

The most troublesome thing about booking a room and a camp is that itinerary is combined with the itinerary. The disadvantage of booking early is that once you encounter uncertainties for a few days of the trip, you will be delayed for a while, and all reservations will be cancelled afterwards. There is no guarantee that there will be a room for this recurrence.

Yunluo was very glad that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could have walked down as planned and did not suffer from torture in booking a hotel. Google Maps has helped a lot in this regard. This map not only helps Yunluo and Yan Chenyu position it, but also makes the driving distance and time between the two points clear and reliable.

When it comes to eating, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are also casual. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu know that the theme of this journey is unlikely to be delicious food. When eating, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu no longer have any choices and just fill their stomachs while trying to eat healthy foods.

Later, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu discovered that the most delicious hot dogs in the United States were in gas stations, the most delicious roasted chickens were in supermarkets, and the most satisfying steaks were all from the backyard of their own tents. Usually, it may cost 15 yuan per person to eat when you go to a restaurant. On the road to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu, you can often have a lot of fun eating for five yuan per meal.

Before departure, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu prepared a large refrigerator, bought some edible ice cubes from the gas station and put them in, and they could be used as a simple refrigerator.

Although this refrigerator takes up a lot of space in the back seat, it ensures that the fruits or salads that Yunluo and Yanchenyu usually eat are fresh, and that Yunluo and Yanchenyu can drink cool and relieve the heat at any time in the scorching sun.
