Lake Mead NRA - NV/AZ (Part 3)

After CES Las Vegas in January (photos here), I vacationed a bit. One of the places I went to is Lake Mead National Recreation Area, also dropping by Hoover Dam. Lake Mead NRA is in both Nevada and Arizona. I visited the area on January 14th, 2018 and took many photos. I split the photos from the park into 3 parts. This is part 1. The cellphone photos I shot can be viewed here.

National Parks in Arizona and Utah.

"What is Bryce Canyon? Words confound when no comparable exist. A cave without a ceiling? A forest of stone? Even 'canyon' is misleading since Bryce is carved by freeze-thaw cycles, not a river. Yet, 'world's largest pothole' is neither adequate nor flattering. Tour this Website, and you’ll be enticed to visit Bryce in person. Once here, perhaps you'll agree with those who say, 'Bryce is a Bryce!'" ~Quote from Bryce Canyon National Park Website.

Fairview Point

Bryce Point

This point had no name.

"The oldest human artifacts found are nearly 12,000 years old and date to the Paleo-Indian period. There has been continuous use and occupation of the park since that time. The park has recorded over 4,800 archeological resources with an intensive survey of nearly 3% of the park area." ~Grand Canyon National Park Website.

The next photo is a panoramic shot of Grand Canyon Overview. 

"Petrified wood (from the Greek root petro meaning "rock" or "stone"; literally "wood turned into stone") is a type of fossil that consists of fossil wood in which all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals (most often a silicate, such as quartz), while retaining the original structure of the wood. The petrifaction process occurs underground, when wood becomes buried under sediment and is initially preserved due to a lack of oxygen. Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in the plant's cells and as the plant's lignin and cellulose decay away, a stone mould forms in its place. In general, wood takes less than 100 years to petrify. The organic matter needs to become petrified before it decomposes completely. A forest where the wood has petrified becomes known as a petrified forest." ~Petrified Wood Wikipedia page.

The second largest city is Tucson, followed in size by the eight Phoenix metropolitan area cities of Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria, Surprise and then by Yuma in Yuma County." ~ Arizona Wikipedia Page.

I really suck at naming animals. So I don't really know the names. If you know please tell me in the below. Thanks! :D
我叫动物名字很不好。所以这些动物名字我不太知道。要是你知道的话请你在底下告诉我。谢谢！:D

I'm guessing this is a lizard. What you see on the ground are petrified wood.

"The Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica), is a species of scrub-jay native to western North America. It ranges from southern Washington to central Texas and central Mexico. It comprises three distinct subspecies groups, all of which may be separate species. They are California Scrub-Jay (coastal), Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay (interior US and northern Mexico), and Sumichrast's Scrub-Jay (interior southern Mexico). The Western Scrub-Jay was once lumped with the Island Scrub-Jay and the Florida Scrub-Jay; the taxon was then called, simply, the Scrub Jay. The Western Scrub-Jay is nonmigratory and can be found in urban areas, where it can become tame and will come to bird feeders. While many refer to scrub-jays as "blue jays", the Blue Jay is a different species of bird entirely. In recent years, the California Scrub-Jay has expanded its range north into the Puget Sound region of Washington"  ~Wikipedia Page.

Blue birdy. :D I did some research, this bird seems to be called the Western Scrub Jay.

蓝色鸟。:D 我在网上做了一些研究，英文好像这个鸟叫 Western Scrub Jay。
