开个帖子，把旅行前的功课放到这里，
一方面方便同行的朋友及时交流信息，另一方面也许对以后去加州的朋友有帮助
先了解一下加州周边的景点和美国国家公园（有些在Utah州）
Las Vegas，Grand Canyon，Monument Valley。。。
Las Vegas (Spanish: "The Meadows") is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada,
the seat of Clark County, and an internationally renowned resort city for gambling, shopping, and entertainment.
Las Vegas, billed as The Entertainment Capital of the World, is famous for the number of casino resorts and associated entertainment.
A growing retirement and family city, it is the 28th most populous city in the United States with an estimated population
by the U.S. Census Bureau of 558,880 as of 2007.
The estimated population of the Las Vegas metropolitan area, which is the entirety of Clark County, was 1,836,333.
Established in 1905, Las Vegas officially became a city in 1911. With the growth that followed, at the close of the century
Las Vegas was the most populous American city founded in the 20th century (a distinction held by Chicago in the 19th century).
The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting
for films and television programs.
Outdoor lighting displays are everywhere on the Las Vegas Strip and are seen elsewhere in the city as well;
as seen from space, Las Vegas is the brightest city on earth.

打算在LA住一天，第二天就飞到这里，第三天从这里参加local tour去国家公园。
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States state of Arizona.
It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States.
Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six million year period.
The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km)(6000 feet).
Nearly two billion years of the Earth's history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock
while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. The "canyon started from the west, then another formed from the east, and the two broke through
and met as a single majestic rent in the earth some six million years ago. [...]
The merger apparently occurred where the river today, coming from the north, bends to the west, in the area known as the Kaibab Arch.
