Afisha Life | Całodniowa prywatna wycieczka i wędrówka po Parku Narodowym Wielkiego Kanionu

1

Punkt macierzysty

Malowniczy punkt widokowy wzdłuż South Rim, popularny ze względu na widoki na kanion

2

Punkt Maricopy

Oprócz oszałamiających widoków Maricopa Point wychodzi na dawną kopalnię Orphan Lode Mine, którą w 1891 r. przejął górnik Dan Hogan. Początkowo wydobywał miedź, ale w latach pięćdziesiątych Hogan przeszedł na rudę uranu. Działalność wydobywcza zakończyła się w 1967 r. Park Narodowy Wielkiego Kanionu nabył tę nieruchomość w 1987 r., Ale poważną odbudowę środowiska rozpoczął dopiero w 2008 r.

3

Punkt Powella

Pomnik Powella w tym punkcie widokowym upamiętnia wyprawy badawcze w dół rzeki Kolorado w latach 1869 i 1871-72 przez majora Johna Wesleya Powella i załogi ekspedycji. Oszałamiające widoki można również podziwiać z Powell Point.

4

Punkt Hopi

Hopi Point to jeden z najpopularniejszych punktów widokowych do oglądania zachodu i wschodu słońca ze względu na szerokie widoki. Na zachodzie pojawia się rzeka Kolorado. Toalety są dostępne tutaj.

5

Punkt Mohave

Kolejny spektakularny punkt do oglądania zachodu i wschodu słońca, Mohave Point oferuje również widoki na rzekę Kolorado głęboko w kanionie poniżej.

6

Otchłań

Ten punkt widokowy zapewnia prawie pionowy widok w dół do kanionu, patrząc w dół do zlewni Monument Creek, gdzie turyści często obozują obok Monument Creek lub na małej plaży wzdłuż rzeki Kolorado w Granite Rapids.

7

Widok Monument Creek

Z tego punktu widzenia zaczyna się Greenway Trail, który przyjmuje turystów pieszych, rowerzystów i gości na wózkach inwalidzkich. Szlak spełnia wytyczne dotyczące dostępności dla terenów zabudowanych na wolnym powietrzu. Znaczna część szlaku przebiega wzdłuż trasy Hermit Road z 1912 roku. Istnieje sześć punktów widokowych, w tym Pima Point, oprócz wielu miejsc odpoczynku wzdłuż szlaku.

8

Punkt Pimy

Pima Point to jedno z najlepszych miejsc na krawędzi, aby zobaczyć, a czasem usłyszeć rzekę. Plusk i zgrzyt Granite Rapids poniżej można usłyszeć odbijając się echem od ścian kanionu w spokojne dni. Szlak Greenway prowadzi stąd do Pustelnika, umożliwiając rowerzystom i gościom na wózkach inwalidzkich dzielenie ścieżki z pieszymi.

9

Odpoczynek pustelnika

Mary Colter, jedna z najsłynniejszych architektów Wielkiego Kanionu, zbudowała Hermits Rest w 1914 roku, aby wyglądać jak stara chata górnicza, z gigantycznym kominkiem i frontową werandą. Dzisiaj Hermits Rest ma sklep z pamiątkami i mały bar z przekąskami. Toalety są dostępne tutaj. Szlak Pustelnika, wijący się stromo w dół do kanionu, rozpoczyna się około 0,5 mili, 0,8 km na zachód od Hermits Rest.

10

Szlak Południowego Kaibab

Szlak South Kaibab oferuje wspaniałe widoki i może być przystosowany dla osób o różnych umiejętnościach!

19

Hermit's Rest

Mary Colter, one of Grand Canyon's most famous architects, built Hermits Rest in 1914 to look like an old miner's cabin, complete with a giant fireplace and front porch.
