Afisha Life | Samodzielna wycieczka audio do Parku Narodowego Yellowstone

1

Narodowy Park Yellowstone

Park Narodowy Yellowstone to dziki teren rekreacyjny o powierzchni prawie 3500 mil kwadratowych na szczycie gorącego wulkanu. Głównie w Wyoming, park rozciąga się także na części Montany i Idaho. W Yellowstone znajdują się dramatyczne kaniony, alpejskie rzeki, bujne lasy, gorące źródła i tryskające gejzery, w tym najsłynniejszy Old Faithful.

2

Basen gejzeru West Thumb

Pierwszym w tej części parku jest West Thumb Geyser Basin, jeden z największych basenów gejzerów w Yellowstone, który charakteryzuje się naprawdę niezwykłymi cechami geotermalnymi.

3

Jezioro Szoszonów

Twoja trasa prowadzi obok jeziora Shoshone, uroczego, odosobnionego małego skrawka dzikiej przyrody ze wspaniałym szlakiem turystycznym.

4

Stary Wierny

Nie bez powodu Old Faithful jest jedną z najsłynniejszych atrakcji Yellowstone. Ten ogromny gejzer jest tak niezawodny, że kiedyś nazywano go „zegarkiem wieczności”!

5

Rzeka Firehole

Słyszałeś o jacuzzi, ale co powiesz na gorącą rzekę? Dokładnie to znajdziesz w Firehole River, rzece naturalnie ogrzewanej przez pobliskie gorące źródło.

6

Wielka Pryzmatyczna Wiosna

Wtedy będziesz mógł zaparkować i zobaczyć Grand Prismatic z bliska. To oszałamiająco ogromne gorące źródło z otaczającymi je pierścieniami szokującego koloru. To jedna z atrakcji Yellowstone, której nie można przegapić!

7

Pojemnik z farbą fontannową

Następny w kolejce jest Fountain Paint Pot, cudownie kolorowy błotny garnek, który nieustannie bulgocze i przestawia się dzięki mocy wulkanicznej pod spodem.

8

Centrum informacji dla zwiedzających West Yellowstone

Zobaczysz Centrum Informacji Turystycznej West Entrance, jeśli wejdziesz do parku przez miasto West Yellowstone.

9

Wodospady Gibona

Następnie znajdziesz Gibbon Falls, jeden z najłatwiej dostępnych wodospadów w parku. W przeciwieństwie do wielu wodospadów, które wymagają długich wędrówek skalistymi szlakami, ten można zobaczyć z drogi!

10

Artyści Paintpots

Twoja trasa zaprowadzi Cię obok doniczek z farbą artysty, kolejnego zestawu kolorowych doniczek z błotem z promenadą, która prowadzi obok nie tylko doniczek z farbą, ale także kilku małych gejzerów. To miejsce, które trzeba zobaczyć.

11

Basen gejzeru Norris

Następnym basenem gejzerów, do którego dotrzesz, jest Norris Geyser Basin, najstarszy i najgorętszy basen gejzerów w Yellowstone, z temperaturami mierzonymi do 459 stopni pod powierzchnią!

12

Mieszkania nad jeziorem łabędzim

Dalej są Swan Lake Flats. To nie tylko świetne miejsce do obserwowania dzikiej przyrody, ale także miejsce narodzin jednej z ośmiu watah wilków w Yellowstone!

13

Mamutowe Gorące Źródła

Następnie zobaczysz Mammoth Hot Springs, jedną z najbardziej malowniczych cech Yellowstone. Ale te tarasowe gorące źródła są nie tylko idealne do robienia zdjęć, ale także przyciągają lokalną populację łosi!

14

Wrząca rzeka

Jeśli wejdziesz od północnego wejścia, miniesz kolejną gorącą rzekę zwaną Wrzącą Rzeką. Nie martw się jednak o nazwę - to właściwie całkiem przyjemna temperatura!

15

Łuk Roosevelta

Roosevelt Arch to boniowany łuk triumfalny przy północnym wejściu do Parku Narodowego Yellowstone w Gardiner, Montana, Stany Zjednoczone. Zbudowany pod nadzorem armii amerykańskiej w Fort Yellowstone, jego kamień węgielny położył prezydent Theodore Roosevelt w 1903 roku.

16

Centrum dla zwiedzających i muzeum Albright

Albright Visitor Centre jest kolejnym miejscem dla osób przybywających z północy i jest doskonałym miejscem dla każdego, kto zatrzyma się na przekąskę lub przerwę w toalecie.

17

Wodospady Undine

Dalej są Undine Falls, 60-metrowy wodospad nazwany na cześć wróżek z niemieckiego folkloru.

18

Wodospady Wraith

Naprzeciwko wodospadu Undine znajduje się szlak prowadzący do 80-metrowego Wraith Falls, kolejnego z prawie 350 wodospadów Yellowstone!

19

Dolina Lamaru

Podczas jazdy miniesz Lamar Valley. Ta dolina jest najlepszym miejscem w Yellowstone, aby zobaczyć kultową przyrodę parku. Prawie na pewno zobaczysz tu żubry, a może nawet będziesz miał szczęście i zobaczysz nieuchwytne wilki!

20

Mount Washburn

Mount Washburn, wysokość 10 243 stóp, jest wybitnym szczytem górskim w paśmie Washburn w Parku Narodowym Yellowstone w stanie Wyoming. Szczyt został nazwany w 1870 roku na cześć Henry'ego D. Washburna , przywódcy wyprawy Washburn – Langford – Doane .

21

Obszar wioski Canyon

Następnie przejedziesz przez Canyon Village, dziwne półmiasto, w którym mieszka wielu pracowników Yellowstone podczas pobytu w parku. Daje zabawne spojrzenie na to, jak wygląda życie pracowników parku!

22

Punkt inspiracji

Kontynuując, dotrzesz do Inspiration Point, najpopularniejszego punktu widokowego wzdłuż Wielkiego Kanionu Yellowstone. Widok tutaj jest po prostu niezrównany nigdzie indziej w parku.

23

Dolina Haydena

Następna jest Hayden Valley, która oferuje wgląd w przeszłość. Chociaż dziś jest to bujna, zielona dolina, kiedyś znajdowała się na dnie jeziora!

24

Cody'ego

Ci, którzy wejdą od wschodu, wejdą przez wschodnie wejście do parku w Cody.

25

Jezioro Yellowstone

W końcu dotrzesz do jeziora Yellowstone, największego wysoko położonego jeziora w Ameryce Północnej. To dziewicze jezioro jest zbyt zimne, by w nim pływać, ale jest idealnym miejscem na piknik, a nawet przejażdżkę łodzią!

26

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park also spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho.

Cody

Those entering from the east will enter through the park's East Entrance in Cody.
