平凡美國人＃從死亡谷到道奇體育場—5個我最喜歡的地方

我最喜歡的地方

地方1：內華達州的黑石市。黑石市不是一個真正的城市。實際上，它只不過是一個乾涸的湖床，被認為是美國最平坦荒涼的地方之一。然而，每年當該地舉辦一年一度的火人節（Burning Man festival）時便會成為一個臨時設立的城市（這又是另外一個故事）。還有哪個地方可以讓你驅車10英里而不用手握方向盤？

地方2：加州回聲公園的道奇體育場。從1962年開始，這裡便成為洛杉磯道奇隊的王國。當陽光灑滿中外場外的聖蓋博山之時，攜好友和家人一起觀看一場比賽真是一種享受！

地方3：加州的內華達山脈。內華達山脈包括惠特尼峰，它是美國大陸最高的山。對於我而言，我喜歡登內華達山脈是因為它們也是稀有而美麗的金鱒魚的棲息地。依傍著一泉高山湖泊，享受新鮮的金鱒魚，真是絕佳的人生體驗！

地方4：加州的死亡谷。死亡谷國家公園非常大，你可在綿延幾百英里的泥土路和崎嶇小道上探險。在死亡谷國家公園，我最喜歡的地方有美洲原住民岩石藝術遺址，在任何地圖上都找不到它的蹤跡，你很難尋覓到這裡。

地方5：加州的莫哈維國家保護區。莫哈維路是一條泥土路，它沿著美洲原住民在跨越科羅拉多河到達洛杉磯盆地所使用的一條原始路徑蜿蜒爬行。19世紀當人們修建鐵路時廢棄了這條路，選擇了另一條路。但通過駕駛高底盤（4*4）汽車，如運動型多用途汽車，你還是可以穿越這個地方。

My Favorite Places

Los Angeles, California

Place 1: Black Rock City,Nevada. Black Rock City isn』t a really acity at all. It is actually a dry lakebed known as one of the flattest and most desolate places in the UnitedStates. Once a year, however, it doesbecome a temporary city as it happens to be the location of the annual BurningMan festival (that』s another story all together). Where else can one drive for 10 miles withouttouching the steering wheel?

Place 2: Dodger Stadium, EchoPark, California. Since 1962 it has beenthe home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Watching a game with friends and family while the sun lights up the SanGabriel Mountains out beyond center field is a true joy!

Place 3: The Sierra NevadaMountains, California. The Sierrasinclude Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the continental UnitedStates. Personally, I love spending timein the Sierras because they are also the native home to the rare and beautifulGolden Trout. Very little is better thaneating fresh-caught trout next to a high mountain lake.

Place 4: Death Valley,California. Death Valley National Parkis huge and offers hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails to explore. Some of my favorite places in the park areNative American rock art sites that aren』t on any map and are pretty hard tofind.

Place 5: Mojave NationalPreserve, California. The Mojave Road isa dirt road that follows the original path Native Americans used to cross fromthe Colorado River to the Los Angeles basin. The road was abandoned in the 1800s when the railroad chose a differentroute, but it can still be traversed with a high clearance 4x4 vehicle like aSports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
