Afisha Life | Wycieczka w pakiecie do parków narodowych Zion i Bryce Canyon

1

Centrum dla odwiedzających Bryce Canyon

Wyrusz w tę epicką przygodę przez Park Narodowy Bryce Canyon tuż przed Visitor Center. Rozpoczynając jazdę, dowiemy się, w jaki sposób kanion otrzymał swoją nazwę oraz o pierwotnych mieszkańcach Paitue, którzy nazywali tę ziemię domem.

2

Punkt wschodu słońca

Nasz kolejny przystanek to jeden z najbardziej znanych w całym parku: Sunrise Point. Z tego punktu widokowego zobaczymy rozciągające się przed nami wyjątkowe, malownicze formacje skalne oraz mnóstwo naturalnych szlaków prowadzących w rozległy, obcy krajobraz.

3

Punkt inspiracji

Kontynuujemy naszą samodzielną wycieczkę w głąb Bryce Canyon, w kierunku Inspiration Point. Podczas jazdy poznajemy lud Paiute i jego mitologie. Mieli własne wytłumaczenie wyjątkowości tego krajobrazu i pochodzenia słynnych kapturów Bryce'a.

4

Punkt Bryce'a

To prowadzi nas do Bryce Point, skąd roztacza się jeden z najbardziej malowniczych widoków pełnego amfiteatru. Bryce Point słynie również z niezwykłych wschodów słońca. Można stąd obserwować, jak czubki kapturów zapalają się jak od ognia od pierwszych promieni wschodzącego słońca. Podobnie jak ogień, pomarańczowe światło szybko rozprzestrzenia cienie ze wszystkich, z wyjątkiem najgłębszych zakamarków amfiteatru. Jadąc tutaj, dowiemy się o osadnikach Mormonów, którzy podążali za Paitue i próbowali zarobić na życie w tym bezlitosnym klimacie.

5

Widok na Parię

Nasza samodzielna wycieczka prowadzi dalej do Paria View, gdzie zobaczymy efekty wielowiekowego lodowca. Gdy Ziemia ociepliła się około 12 000 lat temu, ostatnia epoka lodowcowa dobiegła końca. Gdy ogromne lodowce, które pokrywały kontynent amerykański, topniały, cała ta nowa woda musiała gdzieś płynąć. Odpowiedź: w dół kanionu!

6

Kanion Ponderosa

To prowadzi nas do Ponderosa Point, z którego widać kultowe jałowce parku rozciągające się w oddali. Wjeżdżamy teraz w najgłębsze zakamarki Parku Narodowego Bryce Canyon.

7

Tęczowy Punkt

W końcu docieramy do najdalszych punktów widokowych w Bryce Canyon: Rainbow i Yovimpa. Stąd możesz zobaczyć prawie wszystko w Bryce Canyon - kwintesencję kapturów, zielony basen, strome klify. Możesz nawet zobaczyć, że znajdujesz się na najwyższym stopniu niewiarygodnie masywnych „Wielkich Schodów” — struktury geologicznej „schodzącej w dół” aż do Wielkiego Kanionu w Arizonie.

8

Park Narodowy Zion

Park Narodowy Zion to rezerwat przyrody w południowo-zachodnim stanie Utah, wyróżniający się stromymi czerwonymi klifami Zion Canyon. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive przecina główny odcinek, prowadząc do leśnych szlaków wzdłuż rzeki Virgin. Rzeka płynie do Szmaragdowych Stawów, w których znajdują się wodospady i wiszący ogród. Również wzdłuż rzeki, częściowo przez głębokie przepaście, znajduje się szlak brodzący Zion Narrows.

9

Centrum dla odwiedzających Springdale

Witamy w Parku Narodowym Zion! Ten surowy krajobraz ma wszystko: oszałamiające szczyty górskie, wspaniałe naturalne baseny i wspaniałe widoki. Zbadamy to wszystko dzisiaj.

10

Centrum dla odwiedzających Zion Canyon

Kontynuuj prosto. Tuż przed mostem zobaczysz ścieżkę po lewej stronie. Tak zaczyna się Pa’rus Trail. A zaraz za mostem jest kolejna ścieżka – Szlak Strażnika. Obie są popularnymi wędrówkami ze wspaniałymi widokami na końcu.

11

Scenic Drive Zion Canyon

Uff, co za widok! Te trzy góry to ikoniczny Dwór Patriarchów. A kim są ci patriarchowie? Otóż miejscowy kaznodzieja nazwał ich imionami trzech postaci biblijnych: Abrahama, Izaaka i Jakuba, od lewej do prawej.

12

Szmaragdowe baseny

Po pierwsze, przynieś dużo wody! Możesz myśleć, że masz dość… ale prawdopodobnie tak nie jest. Może się to wydawać oczywiste, ale upały w Utah są bezlitosne, a udar cieplny lub udar słoneczny mogą z łatwością zrujnować zabawne wakacje. Po drugie, upewnij się, że się nie przeciążasz! Wędrówki w tym miejscu będą trudniejsze niż możesz być do tego przyzwyczajony ze względu na wysokość. Upewnij się, że nie wyruszasz w podróż, której nie jesteś pewien, czy będziesz w stanie ukończyć.

13

Lądowisko aniołów

W tym parku znajduje się mnóstwo wspaniałych szlaków, ale Angel’s Landing to klasa sama w sobie. Ci, którzy ukończyli wędrówkę, opisują ją jako zapierające dech w piersiach doświadczenie, jak żadne inne, oferujące niemożliwe widoki i duży przypływ adrenaliny.

14

Szlak Płaczącej Skały

Ciągły strumień wody spływa po jego twarzy ze strumienia znajdującego się daleko powyżej

15

Szlak widokowy na kanion

Szlak Canyon Overlook Trail jest jednym z najlepszych szlaków we Wschodniej Syjonie — mimo że jest krótki i łatwy. Czemu? Proste - spektakularne widoki z góry.

16

Mesa szachownicy

Spójrz na ten płaskowyż wznoszący się ku niebu. Zauważyłeś coś szczególnego? Gdy się zbliżysz, powinieneś być w stanie dostrzec na nim dziwną siatkę krzyżujących się linii. Wygląda trochę jak szachownica, stąd nazwa Checkerboard Mesa!

17

Bryce Canyon Visitor Center

Embark on this epic adventure through Bryce Canyon National Park just before the Visitor Center. As we begin the drive, we'll learn about how the canyon got its namesake and about the original Paitue people who called this land home.

18

Sunrise Point

Our next stop is one of the most famous in the entire park: Sunrise Point. From this vantage point, we'll see unique, picturesque rock formations spread out in front of us and a plethora of natural trails leading into the vast, alient landscape.

19

Inspiration Point

We continue our self-guided tour deeper into Bryce Canyon, towards Inspiration Point. As we drive, we learn about the Paiute people and their mythologies. They had their own explanation for the uniqueness of this landscape and the origins of Bryce's famous hoodoos.

20

Bryce Point

This brings us to Bryce Point, which offers one of the most scenic vistas of the full amphitheater. Bryce Point is also famous for its extraordinary sunrises. From here you can watch the tops of hoodoos set alight as if by fire from the first rays of the rising sun. Like fire, the orange light quickly spreads driving shadows from all but the deepest recesses of the amphitheater. As we drive here, we'll learn about the Mormon settlers who followed the Paitue and tried to eke out a living in this unforgiving climate.

21

Paria View

Our self-guided tour continues to Paria View, where we see the effects of a centuries-old glacier. As the earth warmed about 12,000 years ago, the last ice age came to an end. As the enormous glaciers which covered the American continent melted, all that new water had to go somewhere. Answer: down the canyon!

22

Ponderosa Canyon

This brings us to Ponderosa Point, from which you can see the park’s iconic junipers sprawling out into the distance. We're now driving into the deepest recesses of Bryce Canyon National Park.

23

Rainbow Point

Finally, we reach the farthest overlooks inside Bryce Canyon: Rainbow and Yovimpa. From here, you can see nearly everything in Bryce Canyon -- the quintessential hoodoos, the verdant basin, the sheer cliffs. You can even see that you're on the top step of the incredibly massive "Grand Staircase" -- a geologic structure "stepping down" all the way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

24

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a southwest Utah nature preserve distinguished by Zion Canyon’s steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through its main section, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. The river flows to the Emerald Pools, which have waterfalls and a hanging garden. Also along the river, partly through deep chasms, is Zion Narrows wading hike.

25

Springdale Visitor Center

Welcome to Zion National Park! This raw landscape has it all: staggering mountain peaks, stunning natural pools, and gorgeous vistas. We’ll explore it all today.

26

Zion Canyon Visitor Center

Continue straight. Just before the bridge, you’ll see a path on the left. That’s the start of the Pa’rus Trail. And just after the bridge is another path -- the Watchman Trail. Both are popular hikes with great views at the end.

27

Zion Canyon Scenic Drive

Whew, what a view! Those three mountains are the iconic Court of the Patriarchs. And who are these patriarchs? Well, a local Christian minister named them after three figures from the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from left to right.

28

Emerald Pools

First, bring lots of water! You may think you’ve got enough… but you probably don’t. This might seem obvious, but Utah’s heat is unforgiving, and heat-stroke or sun-stroke can easily ruin a fun vacation. Second, make sure you don’t overtax yourself! Hiking around here is going to be more difficult than you might be used to, thanks to the elevation. Be sure you don’t embark on journeys you’re not certain you’ll be able to finish.

29

Angel's Landing

This park has a ton of great trails, but Angel’s Landing stands in a league of its own. Those who complete the hike describe it as a breathtaking experience like no other, offering impossible views and a major adrenaline rush.

30

Weeping Rock Trail

A continuous stream of water trickles down its face from a stream far above

31

Canyon Overlook Trail

The Canyon Overlook Trail is one of East Zion’s finest -- even though it’s short and easy. Why? Simple -- the spectacular views from the top.

32

Checkerboard Mesa

Look at that mesa rising into the sky. Notice anything peculiar? As you get closer, you should be able to make out a strange grid of criss-crossed lines all over it. It looks a bit like a checkerboard, which is how it gets the name Checkerboard Mesa!
