The sheer immensity of the red-rock chasm is what grabs you first: it is a two-billion-year-old rip across the landscape that spans 446km in length and plunges up to 1857m in depth.

首先吸引你的是大峡谷巨大的红色岩石裂口: 这是一个有着20亿年历史的裂口，横跨446公里长的地貌，深达1857米。

There is nothing like arriving at the edge and taking it all in the vastness , the crimson buttes, the long drop down. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly sublime, with the changing light painting the canyon in unbelievably rich hues of vermilion and purple.

没有什么比到达悬崖边缘，在广阔的空间中感受这一切更棒的了，深红色的山坡陡峭、山顶平坦的山丘，长长悬崖一直下降到谷底。日出和日落尤其壮观，不断变化的光线将峡谷涂抹成令人难以置信的朱红色和紫色丰富的色调。

You won’t spend your entire time staring at the hole in the ground, though. You’ll also hike on sagebrush-dotted trails and raft the wild Colorado River. April, May and September are the best time to go for good weather and manageable crowds.（Credit: Lonely Planet）

不过，你不会把所有的时间都花凝视地球上最壮丽的深渊。你还可以在长满属植物的小径上徒步旅行，也可以在科罗拉多河上漂流。4月、5月和9月是旅游的最佳时间，天气好，易于人群管理。
