1

Park Narodowy Canyonlands

Wycieczka po Parku Narodowym Canyonlands przewodnika Shaka zabierze Cię na wyspę w dystrykcie Sky — cud geologii i malowniczych widoków rozciągających się na setki kilometrów.

2

Formacje skalne Monitor i Merrimac

Dwa wzgórza, które można zobaczyć z tego punktu widzenia, Monitor i Merrimac, zostały nazwane ze względu na podobieństwo do pierwszych pancernych okrętów wojennych wyprodukowanych w Ameryce. Zbudowane podczas wojny secesyjnej okręty te pomogły zapoczątkować nowoczesną erę wojny morskiej.

3

Park stanowy Dead Horse Point

Park stanowy Dead Horse Point leży tuż przy drodze do Canyonlands, spoczywa na tym samym płaskowyżu co Island in the Sky, ale oferuje całkowicie wyjątkowy widok. Poznaj historię, starożytną i współczesną, tego popularnego parku stanowego i malowniczego punktu widokowego.

4

Wyspa W Centrum Dla Zwiedzających Nieba

Wyspa Canyonlands w Sky Visitor Center to jedyne miejsce w dystrykcie, w którym można znaleźć wodę pitną i spłukiwane toalety. Zatrzymaj się tutaj, aby uiścić opłatę za wstęp, porozmawiać ze strażnikiem i odwiedzić księgarnię.

5

Punkt widokowy na kanion Shafer

Z tego punktu widzenia można spojrzeć w dół na Shafer Trail, który wije się w dół góry przez serię wąskich serpentyn. Jeśli masz ochotę na przygodę i masz odpowiedni rodzaj pojazdu, możesz rozważyć powrót Shafer Trail do Moab po wycieczce.

6

Mesa Arch

Szlak do Mesa Arch to łatwa półmilowa podróż w obie strony przez brud i śliską skałę. Widoki na Mesa Arch i sam łuk są fantastyczne o wschodzie słońca. I jest to opinia podzielana przez wielu, ponieważ parking zaczyna się zapełniać, gdy na zewnątrz jest jeszcze ciemno. Zacznij wcześnie, aby mieć pewność, że znajdziesz miejsce! Jeśli nie możesz znaleźć miejsca, spróbuj wpaść po południu po zakończeniu wycieczki.

7

Widok na Wieżę Świeczników

Następnym przystankiem jest kolejna kultowa formacja w parku zwana wieżą świeczników. Nazwa pochodzi od kształtu, który przypomina topniejący świecznik. Ta 450-metrowa wieża jest popularnym miejscem do wspinaczki. Jeśli odwiedzisz to miejsce jesienią lub zimą, być może uda ci się dostrzec jedną lub dwie odważne dusze wspinające się po wieży.

8

Punkt widokowy Buck Canyon

Buck Canyon Overlook oferuje niesamowity widok kanionu na wspaniałe warstwy geologiczne w Canyonlands i piękne góry w oddali.

9

Szlak widokowy White Rim

W White Rim Overlook możesz wędrować stosunkowo płaskim, 1,8-kilometrowym szlakiem w obie strony i zobaczyć oszałamiający 360-stopniowy widok na kanion. Ale jeśli nie czujesz się na siłach, jest też punkt widokowy, który wymaga krótkiego spaceru od parkingu. Z tego punktu widokowego można zobaczyć, jak rzeka Kolorado kształtuje krajobraz.

10

Widok na Pomarańczowe Klify

Z tego punktu widokowego można zobaczyć pomarańczowy odcinek klifu obszaru rekreacyjnego Glen Canyon, który graniczy z Canyonlands. Możesz także zobaczyć dzielnicę labiryntów, najbardziej odległą część parku.

11

Punkt widokowy Grand View Point

Spoglądając w dół z wielkiego punktu widokowego, można zobaczyć złożoną sieć kanionów wyrzeźbionych przez Kolorado i zielone rzeki. Jeśli masz ochotę na dwumilową wędrówkę w obie strony, podążaj szlakiem na czubek wyspy na niebie, mesa. To jedna z najlepszych tras w całym parku.

12

Widok na zieloną rzekę

Ten punkt widokowy oferuje kolejny zapierający dech w piersiach widok na kanion ponad tysiąc stóp pod drogą, wyrzeźbiony przez spokojną, ale potężną rzekę Green. Rzeka ukształtowała znaczną część krajobrazu w tej części kraju, pochodząca z Wyoming po lewej stronie podziału kontynentalnego.

13

Szlak Azteków

Aztec Butte Trail to 2,7-kilometrowa wędrówka w obie strony, która prowadzi do starożytnych kamiennych spichlerzy Puebloan z niesamowitymi widokami. Spichlerz został zbudowany około 800 lat temu, około 1200 roku naszej ery.

14

Skała Wieloryba

Nazwa Whale Rock pochodzi od podobieństwa skały do płetwala błękitnego. Trzeba jednak trochę wyobraźni, żeby to zobaczyć. Jest jednomilowa wędrówka w obie strony do gigantycznej skały ze wspaniałymi widokami na szczycie, którą ocenia się jako łatwą do umiarkowanego.

15

Kopuła Przewrotu

Znana pod kilkoma pseudonimami, w tym pępkiem w Utah, ta struktura jest największą tajemnicą Canyonlands, ponieważ naukowcy nie mogą dojść do porozumienia co do tego, jak została utworzona. Kopułę można zwiedzać na dwa sposoby. Pierwszym z nich jest podążanie jednomilowym szlakiem w obie strony do punktów widokowych (nasza rekomendacja). Drugi to wędrówka ośmiomilowym szlakiem, który owija się wokół grzbietu krateru. To nie tylko wyzwanie, ale także większość akcji ratunkowych w parku.

16

Canyonlands National Park

Shaka Guide’s Canyonlands National Park tour will take you to the Island in the Sky district - a marvel of geology and scenic views that stretch on for hundreds of miles.

17

Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations

The two buttes you can see from this viewpoint, the Monitor and the Merrimac, were named for their resemblance to the first American made ironclad warships. Built during the Civil War, these ships helped usher in the modern era of Naval warfare.

18

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point State Park lies just off the road to Canyonlands, rests on the same mesa as Island in the Sky, but offers a wholly unique view. Learn about the history, ancient and modern, of this popular state park and scenic overlook.

19

Island in the Sky

The Canyonlands Island in the Sky Visitor Center is the only place in the district to find potable water and flushing toilets. Stop here to pay your entrance fee, talk to a ranger, and visit the bookstore.

20

Shafer Canyon Overlook

From this viewpoint, you can look down on the Shafer Trail as it winds its way down the mountain via a series of narrow switchbacks. If you’re feeling adventurous and you have the right kind of vehicle, you might consider taking the Shafer Trail back to Moab after the tour.

21

Mesa Arch

The trail to Mesa Arch is an easy half-mile round trip over dirt and slickrock. The views at Mesa Arch, and the arch itself, are fantastic at sunrise. And this is a sentiment shared by many because the parking lot begins to fill up while it’s still dark outside. Get started early to make sure you get a spot! If you can’t find a spot, try stopping by in the afternoon after you complete the tour.

22

Candlestick Tower Overlook

The next stop is another iconic formation in the park called the candlestick tower. The name comes from its shape, which resembles a melting candlestick. This 450-foot tower is a popular rock climbing spot. If you visit during fall or winter, you might be able to catch a glimpse of a brave soul or two making their way up the tower.

23

Buck Canyon Overlook

Buck Canyon Overlook offers an amazing canyon view of the gorgeous geological layers in Canyonlands and the beautiful mountains in the distance.

24

White Rim Overlook Trail

At the White Rim Overlook, you can hike a relatively flat,1.8-mile round-trip trail and see a stunning 360 degree view of the canyon. But if you're not feeling up to it, there's also an overlook that requires just a short walk from the parking lot. From this overlook, you can see the handiwork of the Colorado river carving out the landscape.

25

Orange Cliffs Overlook

From this overlook, you can see the orange cliff section of Glen canyon recreational area which borders Canyonlands. You can also see the maze district, the most remote part of the park.

26

Grand View Point Overlook

Looking down from the grand viewpoint, you can see a complex network of canyons carved by the Colorado and green rivers. If you're feeling up for a two-mile round-trip hike, follow the trail to the tip of the island in the sky, mesa. This is one of the best hikes in the entire park.

27

Green River Overlook

This overlook offers yet another breathtaking view of the canyon over a thousand feet below the road, carved out by the peaceful yet powerful Green River. The river shaped much of the landscape in this part of the country, originating from Wyoming on the left side of the continental divide.

28

Aztec Butte Trail

Aztec Butte Trail is a 1.7-mile round-trip hike that leads to some ancestral Puebloan stone granary structures with some amazing views. The granary was built roughly 800 years ago, around 1200 AD.

29

Whale Rock

The name Whale Rock comes from the rock’s resemblance to a blue whale. It does take a little imagination for you to see it though. There is a one-mile round-trip hike up to the giant rock with great views on top that’s rated as easy to moderate.

30

Upheaval Dome

Known by several nicknames including Utah’s Belly Button, this structure is the biggest mystery of Canyonlands because scientists can’t agree on how it was formed. There are two ways to explore the dome. The first is to follow a one-mile round-trip trail to the overlooks (our recommendation). The second is to hike an eight-mile trail that wraps around the Ridge of the crater. It's not only challenging, but it's also where most of the rescues in the park happen.
