Afisha Life | Pakiet samodzielnej wycieczki samochodowej po Wielkim Kanionie i Sedonie

1

Izba Handlowa w Sedonie

To dziwaczne, zapierające dech w piersiach, wspaniałe miasto ma mnóstwo do zaoferowania, od sklepów i galerii po niewiarygodne wycieczki po czerwonych skałach. Ale jest też pełen wyjątkowej, zaskakującej historii, o czym wkrótce się przekonasz. Mam nadzieję, że jesteś gotowy na odkrywanie miejsca jak żadne inne!

2

Miejsce piknikowe Call Of The Canyon

Sedona zmieniła się na zawsze w 1923 roku, kiedy filmowiec Zane Gray przybył z ekipą filmową i marzeniem. Tutaj Zane nakręcił niemy film Call of the Canyon, western o żołnierzu powracającym z wojny. Chciał swobody twórczej, której nie mógł uzyskać w Los Angeles, i był urzeczony krajobrazem Sedony.

3

Kaplica Świętego Krzyża

W 1931 roku w Nowym Jorku ukończono budowę Empire State Building. Uhhh więc… co to ma wspólnego z Sedoną? Cóż, lokalna farmerka i rzeźbiarka Marguerite Staude zobaczyła ten wieżowiec i była tak zainspirowana, że po prostu musiała stworzyć coś równie imponującego w swoim rodzinnym stanie Arizona.

4

Wieś Oak Creek

Village of Oak Creek, znana miejscowym jako „The Village”, ta nieposiadająca osobowości prawnej społeczność jest pełna sklepów i restauracji idealnych na przerwę po wycieczce. The Village oferuje również trzy ogromne pola golfowe dla tych, którzy lubią uderzać w linki!

5

Centrum dla zwiedzających Wielkiego Kanionu South Rim

Najpierw dotrzesz do Visitor Center, gdzie znajdziesz mapy i inne informacje o parku, a także toalety i przekąski.

7

Punkt Yavapai

Następnym punktem widokowym jest Yavapai Point, gdzie uzyskasz więcej wspaniałych widoków z południowej krawędzi kanionu i poznasz plemię, od którego pochodzi nazwa tego punktu.

8

Dom Hopiego

Pierwszym przystankiem w wiosce jest Dom Hopi, niezwykle dokładne odtworzenie starożytnych mieszkań Hopi, które można było tu znaleźć, gdy plemię nadal zamieszkiwało ten obszar. Ten budynek jest również idealnym miejscem do odebrania ręcznie robionych pamiątek z wizyty!

9

Muzeum Geologiczne Yavapai

Idąc dalej do Kolb Studio, konkurenta Lookouot Studio, usłyszysz wszystko o zaciekłej rywalizacji między nimi, która prawie doprowadziła ich obu do ruiny w XX wieku.

11

Studio widokowe

Przed nami dwa budynki stojące na skraju kanionu. To, które możesz teraz zobaczyć, to Lookout Studio, a nieco dalej znajdziesz jedno o nazwie Kolb Studio.

12

Droga Pustelnika

W następnej części wycieczki wsiądziesz do bezpłatnego autobusu kursującego po parku. Nie martw się, Twój audioprzewodnik poinstruuje Cię dokładnie, jak to zrobić!

13

Punkt widokowy Trailview

Pierwszym przystankiem na Hermit Road jest Trailview Overlook, z którego roztacza się widok na słynny Bright Angel Trail, wyczerpującą ścieżkę, która prowadzi aż do dna kanionu. Prawdopodobnie zobaczysz nawet wspinających się na nią wyczerpanych turystów!

14

Punkt Marikopy

Następny w kolejności jest Maricopa Point, który był kiedyś miejscem operacji wydobycia uranu. Zapoznaj się z nieoczekiwaną historią, podziwiając wspaniałe widoki.

17

19

Punkt Pimy

Następny przystanek po prawej stronie to Pima Point, z którego roztacza się jeden z najpiękniejszych widoków w Kolorado. Kiedy tam będziesz, zatrzymaj się i posłuchaj. Jeśli widok jest cichy, słychać szum wody płynącej wzdłuż rzeki.

20

Odpoczynek pustelnika

Więc skąd te wszystkie rzeczy mają swoją nazwę? Cóż, w czasach górniczych, jeden konkretny górnik nie był zainteresowany przebywaniem z innymi ludźmi. Zdecydowanie wolał rytmy natury. Spędził większość swojego życia mieszkając w pobliżu tego miejsca, zadowalając się spędzaniem dni mając tylko skały, ptaki i wiewiórki, które dotrzymywały mu towarzystwa.

21

Widok Pipe Creek

Po promie trasa prowadzi dalej na wschód wzdłuż Desert View Drive. Pierwszym przystankiem na tej drodze jest Pipe Creek Vista, ulubione miejsce obserwatorów ptaków, którzy chcą zobaczyć rzadsze okazy kanionu, w tym nawet bardzo rzadkiego kondora kalifornijskiego!

22

Punkt widokowy

Potem jest Grandview Point, a widok jest naprawdę wspaniały. Jest to również początek szlaku turystycznego, który prowadzi pod krawędzią kanionu i oferuje naprawdę niezwykłe zabytki.

25

Punkt Navajo

Ostatnim punktem widokowym na tej trasie jest Navajo Point, a ostatni z pewnością nie jest najmniej ważny w tym przypadku. Navajo Point jest w rzeczywistości najwyższym punktem widokowym na całej południowej krawędzi, wznoszącym się na oszałamiającą wysokość 7500 stóp nad poziomem morza!

26

Wieża obserwacyjna z widokiem na pustynię Wielkiego Kanionu

W końcu dotrzesz do kultowej wieży obserwacyjnej Desert View, naprawdę imponującej kamiennej konstrukcji wznoszącej się na skraju kanionu. W zależności od pory roku możesz nawet wspiąć się na szczyt, aby zobaczyć widok inny niż wszystkie. Wycieczka kończy się tutaj.

27

Punkt Yaki

Popularne miejsce do oglądania wschodów i zachodów słońca, oddalony punkt obserwacyjny i przystanek autobusowy z toaletami.

28

Szlak Południowego Kaibab

South Kaibab Trail to szlak turystyczny w Parku Narodowym Wielkiego Kanionu, położonym w amerykańskim stanie Arizona. W przeciwieństwie do szlaku Bright Angel Trail, który również zaczyna się na południowym obrzeżu Wielkiego Kanionu i prowadzi do rzeki Kolorado, szlak South Kaibab Trail prowadzi grzbietem do Skeleton Point, umożliwiając 360-stopniowe widoki na kanion.

29
