奥拉AURA

语言无法描述，哪怕用水彩画......
Words fail. Even watercolors . . . .

贴切地命名。你如何传达一种感觉。我不知道。西内说我可以看到光线和岩石是一体的。想想其他人也能看到这一点......好吧，现在我们来告诉你可以用语言表达的一些东西。所以......
Aptly named. How do you communicate a sensation. I don’t know. Sine said I can see how the light and the rock are the same. To think that somebody else can see that, too… Well, we’re here to tell you what we can put into words. So...

哈瓦苏派印第安传说是这么说的：有一个幽灵从地下部落中出来，他喜欢上了眼前的一切，这就是幽灵河的由来，幽灵河流入大峡谷底部的光明天使河。这个始于1902年的私人旅游旅馆，经过几位主人和名字的变更，后来演变成了幻影牧场，由国家公园管理局管理。
Havasupai Indian legend has it that a phantom emerged from an underworld tribe here and liked what he saw. That’s how Phantom Creek, which flows into Bright Angel Creek here on the floor of the Grand Canyon, got its name, so they say. What began in 1902 as a private tourist lodge has, under a succession of owners and names, come to be known as Phantom Ranch, maintained by the National Park Service.

我想，如果它们从经过的飞机上掉下来，你可以开车到这里，但我很高兴地说，即使是直升机也不会在这个地区嗡嗡叫。到目前为止，你只能靠步行、骡子或小船到达这里。大多数人都会走在光明天使步道上，这条步道最初建于1891年，是为了获得采矿权。所以无论如何，贪婪带来了美好的东西。这条小径沿着红墙的队形蜿蜒到印第安花园露营地和内峡谷。然后沿着河流向东到达光明天使吊桥，然后到达幻影牧场和光明天使溪露营地。
You could get here by car, I suppose, if they got dropped from passing airplanes, but I’m happy to say not even the helicopters buzz this area. So far you get here only by foot, mule, or boat. Most people walk down on Bright Angel Trail that was originally built in 1891 to provide access to mining claims. So greed led to something nice for once anyway. The trail follows switchbacks through the Redwall Formation to the Indian Garden Campground and Inner Gorge. Then it goes east along the river to the Bright Angel Suspension Bridge and on to Phantom Ranch and Bright Angel Creek Campground. The nineteen mile round-trip descends 4400 feet and takes most hikers two days, though some people who like to mix beauty with exertion like the challenge of actually running or jogging down and then back up. None of us are quite that insane.

每天都有骡子从光明天使小径前面的石畜栏上通宵赶路。需要5½小时骑下来,骑起来,4½,可能是因为乘客首次进入峡谷想停下来看,或者拍照,尽管我想骡子不得不抵抗滑动的路上曾经在一段时间可能有点太减慢事物。
Overnight mule trips depart daily from the stone corral at the head of Bright Angel Trail. The ride down takes 5 ½ hours, the ride up, 4 ½, probably because riders entering the Canyon for the first time like to pause and look, or snap photos, though I suppose the mules having to resist sliding on the way down once in awhile probably slows things down a bit too.

白水河的木筏旅行在这里结束，从这里出发，或者在这里停下来，看情况。
White water river raft trips end here, leave from here, or stop over here, depending.

这个农场虽然相当古老、简陋、有乡村气息，但却提供住宿和用餐，没有人抱怨。有野营和食堂。走骡子的人在小木屋里过夜。背包客住在宿舍式住宿。用餐要在开始用餐前预订，住宿要在开始用餐前一年左右。我想他们甚至开了彩票，住宿需求很大。
Though quite old and humble and rustic, the ranch offers lodging and dining nobody complains about. Camping and a canteen are available. Mule trippers bunk overnight in cabins. Backpackers stay in dormitory style lodging. Meals are by reservation before you start down, lodging about a year ahead. I guess they’ve even started a lottery there’s so much demand for the lodging.

因为我不喜欢订位之类的，所以我就用餐厅。
The canteen is what I've used since I’m not into reservations and all that.
