雖然幾乎所有的國家公園都很漂亮，但是有一些卻讓人為之驚艷

以下是旅遊網站 Womanitely 推薦的【世界最漂亮的10大國家公園】

Snowdonia, Wales　史諾多尼亞，英國威爾斯

Snowdonia National Park is set on Snowdon Mountain. The mountain is 3560 feet tall and as picturesque (美麗如畫的) as it is peaceful. Lakes and rivers are set amid trees and rocky outcroppings (露出地面), making it the perfect place to practice photography. Visitors will also find old buildings, including several castles within park borders. The history of the area is full of folk tales (民間故事) and legends and makes it an even more exciting place to visit.

史諾多尼亞國家公園位於斯諾登山上，高3560英尺，風景如畫，樹木和裸露的岩石之間的湖泊和河流是最佳拍照地點。遊客還可以找到老建築，包括公園境內的幾個城堡。這裡充滿了民間故事和傳說的歷史使公園更具有吸引力。

Grand Canyon, the United States　科羅拉多大峽谷，美國

The Colorado River carved out (雕出) the Grand Canyon over hundreds of years, creating an amazingly complex canyon. Tourists flock to (蜂擁而至) the site every year to admire it or even to hike down and camp in the myriad of (無數，大量) channels cut out by the water. The Grand Canyon is one of the Natural Wonders (自然奇觀) of the World and has also been named a UNESCO World Heritage site (聯合國教科文組織世界遺產). It stretches over (橫跨，綿延) more than 1,200,000 acres in Arizona.

科羅拉多大峽谷科在亞利桑那州佔地120萬多英畝，科羅拉多河花了將近數百年雕刻出了大峽谷，創造了令人驚嘆的峽谷美景。每年有大量遊客湧入大峽谷，甚至在此徒步露營。大峽谷是世界自然奇觀之一，聯合國教科文組織將其列入了世界文化遺產。

Kruger National Park, South Africa 克魯格國家公園，南非

One of the largest national parks in the world, Kruger covers millions of acres of land. It is host to an amazing number of African species, including elephants, giraffes and many other animals. You can check these animals out from viewing towers (觀景台) scattered throughout the park.

克魯格國家公園是世界上最大的國家公園之一，佔地數百萬英畝。這裡有許多令人驚奇的非洲物種，包括大象、長頸鹿和其他動物。你可以在觀景台欣賞分佈在公園各處的動物。

Deosai, Pakistan　代奧賽國家公園，巴基斯坦

Deosai National Park is best known for its impressive flowers. Every spring, thousands of different types of flowers bloom. They form a living carpet (地毯) of color that attracts an even larger variety of butterflies. The park is certainly worth seeing in the spring, though it is lovely all year round. Another point of interest would be the park’s incredible plateaus (高原), some of the highest in the world.

代奧賽國家公園最出名的是令人印象深刻的鮮花。每年春天，成千上萬不同種類的鮮花在此盛開。它們就像一張栩栩如生、色彩艷麗的地毯，吸引了各種蝴蝶的到來。春天，值得到此一遊。另一個比較有趣的地方就是公園這裡的高原也是世界上最高的高原。

Kakadu National Park, Australia　卡卡杜國家公園，澳洲

The Australian government and the aboriginal people work together to manage the Kakadu National Park. It is a World Heritage site and the amazing views attract tourists year round. One of the most interesting attractions is the aboriginal rock art that can be found in the area. It is also home to a range of animals, including the saltwater crocodile.

澳洲政府與當地原住民共同管理著卡卡杜國家公園。它被列入了世界文化遺產，神奇的景觀一年四季都吸引著遊客前來到訪。其中比較有趣的景點是此地的原住民岩石藝術，還是各種動物的棲息地，如鹽水鱷魚。

Hortobagy, Hungary　霍爾托巴吉國家公園，匈牙利

Hortobagy National Park was the first national park in Hungary. It was established as a national park in 1973. In 1999, the Park was elected among the World Heritage sites. Hortobagy is rich with unique folklore (民俗) and interesting cultural history. It’s an official refuge (避難所) for wild horses and home to a number of endangered birds. The Park provides habitat (棲息地) for over 342 species of birds and is a bird watcher’s paradise, with plenty of migratory (遷徙的) waterfowl (水鳥), too.

霍爾托巴吉國家公園是匈牙利的第一個國家公園，成立於1973年。在1999年時，被選為世界遺產之一，擁有獨特的民俗文化和有趣的歷史，也是野馬和許多瀕危鳥類的官方避難所。公園是鳥類觀察家的天堂，有超過342種的鳥類及遷徙的水鳥。

Plitvice Lakes, Croatia　普利特維采湖群，克羅埃西亞

If you head into inland Croatia, you will find Plitvice National Park. It is an area of mountainous terrain (地形) ideal for hiking and a number of lakes and streams. The unique thing about the water in the park is that most of the lakes and streams contain travertine (石灰). This gives the water a clarity seldom found in nature, as well as a very bright blue-green hue (色調).

如果你到訪克羅埃西亞，你會發現普利特維采湖群國家公園。這裡的山區地形適合徒步旅行，有很多湖泊和溪流。公園的獨特之處在於含有石灰的湖泊和溪流，水質清澈見底，並且還帶有非常明亮的藍綠色色調，這種現像在自然界中是很少見的。

Madain Saley, Saudi Arabia　瑪甸沙勒，沙烏地阿拉伯

Where many national parks are heavily forested, Madain Saley is almost entirely made up of desert and rock. It is still one of the most beautiful sights you’ll see, however, particularly when you come across (碰見) one of the amazing oasis (綠洲) scattered throughout the park. An ancient burial ground (墓地) is also located on the site. It’s estimated that the more than 125 tombs and facades were cut from rock somewhere between 500 BC and 100 AD. They are still in amazing condition and certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area.

許多國家公園都有茂密的森林，但是瑪甸沙勒國家公園幾乎全是由沙漠和岩石構成。然而，它仍然是你將欣賞到的最美麗的風景之一，尤其在發現令人驚嘆的綠洲時。公園裡有一個古老的墓地，據估計，大約在公元前500年到公元100年之間，納巴泰人至少建立了125座岩石墳墓。

Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal　薩加瑪塔，尼泊爾

Nepal has a unique, wild look to it and Sagarmatha is no exception. The park contains a number of Sherpa (夏爾巴人) villages, as well as a few monasteries (寺院). Here you will find Mount Everest (珠穆朗瑪峰), as well as its sister mountains, so the national park sees quite a bit of traffic. Several animals make their home here, including mountain goats that balance precariously (搖搖欲墜地) along seemingly sheer rock cliffs.

尼泊爾的景觀獨特狂野，薩加瑪塔國家公園也不例外。公園裡有許多夏爾巴人村莊和寺院。這裡有珠穆朗瑪峰以及它的姊妹山，所以來國家公園的人相當多。還能見到一些動物，包括在陡峭岩石峭壁上的北美野山羊。

Iguazu, Argentina and Brazil　伊瓜蘇，阿根廷和巴西

The Iguazu National Park runs through Argentina and into Brazil. It protects the subtropical (亞熱帶的) rainforest here, as well as the Iguazu Falls. The falls are actually made up of hundreds of waterfalls around a curved cliff. Visitors to the falls can take a boat to get a closer look or can walk through the various waterfalls by crossing catwalks (狹小通道). The park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including howler monkeys (吼猴), jaguars (美洲豹), tapirs (貘), and caimans (凱門鱷).

伊瓜蘇國家公園貫穿阿根廷進入巴西，它保護著這裡的亞熱帶雨林以及伊瓜蘇瀑布。瀑布實際上是弧形懸崖周圍數以百計的瀑布群構成，遊客可以乘船近距離欣賞瀑布的美景，也可以穿過通道在瀑布中行走。公園裡有各式各樣的野生動物，包括吼猴、美洲豹、貘、凱門鱷。

世界各地都有自己最迷人的景色，國家公園保護著自然之美
