美國大冒險番外篇-970610

Day4: 希爾登(Sheridan)-卡氏堡(Casper)

遊覽懷俄明州東北角美國第一級國家特景區魔鬼巨岩(Devils Tower)、印第安人稱之為”熊的居所”、實為5千萬年前熔岩噴出地表冷卻後形成之大圓柱、由平地拔起一千二百餘呎、高聳入雲、平頂廣達1.5英畝、為曠世罕見的奇景之一、百聞不如一見.繼往南達科他州(South Dakota)舉世聞名的總統巨石。該像矗立在若虛莫山(Mt.Rushmore)、是波格倫父子(Mr.Borglum)所留下萬世不朽之傑作。四位總統雕像為美國國父華盛頓、獨立宣言起草人傑克遜、和平使者老羅斯福及黑人之父林肯。夜宿卡氏堡。

Depart Sheridan in the morning and visit Devil’s Tower National Monument. ‘Bear Lodge’ was the Native American name for the Tower. This 865 foot column- a remnant of a volcanic eruption was renamed in 1875 by a scientific team escorted by Col. Richard I. Dodge. Visit Mount Rushmore National Memorial located in South Dakota in the afternoon. The memorial was dedicated to President's George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Overnight stay in Casper.
