Grand Canyon National Park

Located entirely in northern Arizona, the park covers 277 miles of the Colorado River and

adjacent uplands. One of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world, Grand

Canyon is unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. Grand Canyon

National Park is a World Heritage Site.

Park Openings and Closings

The Village and Desert View on the South Rim are open all year and park entrances remain

open 24 hours a day. North Rim facilities open mid-May and close mid-October. Park entrances

remain open 24 hours a day during this time. Hours for visitor centers and businesses vary

throughout the year.

Park Information

The park produces a Pocket Map with a North Rim and South Rim edition that contains a

map and information about services, facilities, and park ranger programs. It is available in

French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. A hiking brochure is available

for those planning to hike one of the park’s main trails down into Grand Canyon. Obtain

publications at entrance stations, visitor centers, or at go.nps.gov/136ojl.

Accessibility

Many of the facilities at Grand Canyon are historic and built before current accessibility

standards were set. The terrain is rugged with narrow, rocky trails and steep cliffs. Visitors using

wheelchairs or having visual impairments may need assistance. For more information about

accessibility in Grand Canyon National Park, see go.nps.gov/1rtxl2.

Park Entrance Fees

Fees collected support projects in the park. Admission to the park is $35 per private vehicle;

$30 per motorcycle; and $20 per person entering the park via Grand Canyon Railway, park

shuttle bus, private rafting trip, walking, or riding a bicycle. The pass can be used for seven days

and includes both rims. Pay fees at park entrance stations or at some businesses outside the park.

Every year the National Park Service offers entrance fee free days. For complete fee information,

including Annual, Active Military, Senior, and Access passes, visit go.nps.gov/y5uu6f.

Grand Canyon National Park incorporates sustainability into all aspects of its operations.

Use your refillable water bottle to fill up on free Grand Canyon spring water at major trailheads,

Even when communing with nature we depend on technology for help — but then, so did

Thoreau (梭罗) at Walden Pond (瓦尔登湖).

Walking in the same woods yesterday, I let myself wander at random, communing with

nature.

I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses.

Occasionally I’d pull out my smartphone to take pictures on anything interesting. I recorded an

inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest. At times, I consulted my smart

watch to check on my heartbeat, mileage and calorie burn. Eventually I realized I was quite lost.

Not a problem of course. Online maps came to my rescue.

But something bothered me. In what I’d intended as a nature experience, here I was using

very high technology to help myself out. This insight triggered a reconsideration of everything

that happened during my “nature walk,” which had been technologically enhanced every step of

the way. I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination: a cyborg.

What would the true naturalist Thoreau think of that? My first thought was that he’d be

shocked. But later I did some research. Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered, like this

eagle from his journal:

Lying on the ground with my glass, I could watch him very easily ... till I almost lost him in

the clouds ... I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-

headed eagle.

Famously, Thoreau always set out equipped with a walking stick, which he used not only

for support but also to take measurements of water and snow levels. His hat was also a tool,

which he called his “botany-box.” And he was prepared even with needles and thread, so when

coming out of the woods, he was “the best dressed.” Clearly, Thoreau was a bit of a cyborg

himself.

Thinking more deeply, I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer

ancestors, who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift. Cyborgs are us.

24. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To recommend Thoreau’s book Walden Pond.

B. To argue that humans have developed into cyborgs.

C. To share the reflections on man’s reliance on nature.

D. To question whether people are technology-dependent.
