Colorado Plateau is the only desert plateau in the United States. From Colorado and western New Mexico in the east, including most parts of Utah and Arizona, to southern Nevada in the west. The Colorado River runs through the whole plateau. Theoretically, such a desolate plateau has no potential for industrial and agricultural development, but it is precisely because of its unique alluvial landform that those who are willing to challenge the limits find a perfect home. After millions of years of erosion, the Colorado River and its tributaries have exposed rocks and strata, leaving countless huge canyons and steep ridges beside them. These canyons with different shapes constitute the Colorado Plateau Canyon Group. Red-brown alluvium rocks everywhere have been impacted by rivers and crustal movements, forming a unique feature of canyon ridges-smoothness. Every ridge has a perfect curve, and vegetation is very scarce because of the high temperature desert environment, which shows the movement characteristics of these ridges more and more. "Lion's Back" is one of such ridges, but what makes it famous is the magical terrain. The whole ridge stretches for several miles, and the ridge more than 200 meters high suddenly falls at an angle of 30 to 35, twists at a distance of 15 meters from the ground, and touches the ground at an extreme angle of 40 to 45. As a branch of the ridge, the whole steep slope is suddenly isolated in the desert, just like a lion lying on the ground with its tail vividly thrown aside. The title "The Lion's Back" was born in response to the situation. In fact, in the national parks around the Moab town, steep slopes of rocky roads similar to the "lion's back" abound, but only this one has such a perfect shape, so almost all cross-country riders who come here to challenge the slopes have to worship here in turn. The procedure is very simple, drive up, turn around at the top of the mountain, and drive the same way. This steep slope at the entrance of the park has also become an introductory course to conquer Colorado alluvial rocks. If you don't have the courage, you'd better go home. "Lion Back" is eroded by sandstone, so its surface is very smooth (compared with ordinary mountain roads, of course), and it is covered with wind-eroded sand. If you just think the slope here is steep, I'm afraid you will suffer. Therefore, for this special steep slope, you need not only courage, but also a good car you are familiar with and skills honed over the years. Of course, when you are isolated at an altitude of more than 200 meters, courage seems to be the only straw you can rely on. To challenge such a steep slope, off-road vehicles need several basic modifications. The first is the demand for approach angle and the departure angle; Being able to climb a 45 slope is almost the limit of the vehicle, and the necessary large-diameter tires are essential. Secondly, the tire pressure, in order to ensure enough power on the smooth rock surface, the tire must be able to contact the ground with a large enough area. Finally, with sufficient motivation, you are qualified to challenge the limit. "Lion's Back" is not very demanding on vehicles, and the original orthodox off-road vehicle is fully capable of climbing after * * *. The real challenge here is the driver's psychological control ability. When you start the first stage of crawling, the large-angle ramp makes the car almost upright, and there is only a blue sky when you look around. At this time, it is necessary to test the driver's mentality and control ability. Of course, it is necessary to survey the route before construction. If you rush blindly, you may fall off the ridge. "Lion's Back" is a completely independent ridge with nothing on either side. After crossing the steep slope of15m, the rest of the uphill roads are almost straight roads, and the angle has eased a lot, but it does not mean that the difficulty will be reduced. After all, your height is rising. Controlling the throttle and mastering the direction are the only technical points. If you are not familiar with this car, who knows what you are doing here? ! Then pray that there will be no mechanical accidents. The only thing that can remind you is, never look around, or you will collapse. After reaching the top of the mountain, there is only a narrow place for vehicles to turn around, and vehicles with long wheelbase cannot be displayed here. Another solution is to continue driving a long gravel mountain road so nervously until the intersection of the ridges. At the top of the mountain, you can overlook the stunning beauty of the canyon and the snow-capped mountains, but most people choose to leave this breathtaking mountain. When the challenge is in front of them, no one has leisure to relax. Downhill is actually the most famous extreme experience of "Lion Back". It has become a proud experience for every driver who has challenged the "lion's back" to stay awake in extreme panic and maintain the correct cooperation between hands and feet. The adrenaline in your body almost hits your brain at the moment you step on the brake pedal. The first thing that rushes into your mind is the picture of playing a roller coaster in an amusement park. The only reference is those two striking black brake prints. Even the braking force control, try to aim at the black line, the only thing you can do at this time. If you are really an avid cross-country athlete, you will rush into the magnificent canyon of the Colorado Plateau in shock behind the lion. Lion's Back is like a touchstone; Inspire the conquest impulse of real cross-country madman and send those cowards who love dreaming home. In the field of off-road vehicles, the journey of extreme challenge has no end, but it can be said with certainty that Lion's Back is a perfect starting point.
