1

Arches Visitor Center

Our adventure into the astounding Arches begins just before the park's entrance and visitor center. We're about to see stunning natural monuments, unlikely rock formations, and alien, ancient landscapes.

2

Delicate Arch

Now we're at THE most famous spot in Arches: Delicate Arch. A quick hike brings us right up to this gorgeous - and improbable - formation.

3

Salt Valley Road

This is one of the park’s quieter attractions. Like Cache Valley, Salt Valley was formed by the collapse of many sandstone domes. The broken pieces of rock littering the ground are leftovers from that collapse.

4

Fiery Furnace

Our drive continues past the Fiery Furnace: a network of narrow canyons & passages amid towering red cliffs at Arches National Park.

5

Sand Dune Arch

As we drive, exploring more arches, we'll learn more about the Paiute myths behind them, the Spanish and Mormon settlers who tried to survive in this land, and the people who were able to preserve this stunning landscape as a national park.

6

Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations

Look to the right. All you can see at the moment are tall rock walls. That’s because we’re near the floor of Sevenmile Canyon. As we continue to drive, we’ll emerge from the canyon and be able to see two very distinct features in the distance to the right -- the Merrimac and the Monitor.

7

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point — it’s a creepy name, isn’t it? According to local legend, wild mustangs used to be corralled here to be broken in the early 1800s. Once all the desirable horses had been broken and claimed by the cowboys, the undesirables were left to go free.

8

Island In The Sky Visitor Center

Stop by the Visitor Center coming up ahead. It’s a great place to grab supplies, use the bathroom, and fill up your water bottles. As you’ve already seen, this park doesn’t have much infrastructure, and being dehydrated out here is no joke.

9

Shafer Canyon Overlook

This overlook offers views from three sides. It may be a bit daunting if you're afraid of heights since there’s nothing between you and the Canyon. However, the incredible view is worth it.

10

Lathrop Canyon

A lot of natural landmarks and trails in Canyonlands are named by or after cowboys and ranchers. In fact, Ned Chaffin’s father and one of his brothers had a spring named after them.

11

Mesa Arch

"Ahead, pull over for Mesa Arch. This is a must-do at Canyonlands. Once you’ve parked, walk along the short trail to the arch. As you walk, notice the juniper and pinyon trees around you. These are popular in Canyonlands so keep an eye out for them elsewhere too."

12

Green River Overlook

The Green River Overlook offers some of the most unique views of Canyonland’s Island in the Sky District. You’re able to see the Green River continuing its work on the canyon walls. The river is the largest stream in Utah at 730 miles. The name probably comes from the green soapstone that can be found along its banks.

13

Aztec Butte Trail

What makes this trail special? Simple: the granaries left here by Native peoples. They’re visible from the base of the last hill if you just keep your eyes open. These granaries are hundreds of years old, so be careful when approaching.

14

Upheaval Dome

Remember how the park’s rocks have been formed in layers? In most of the park, these layers haven’t been disrupted since their formation. What you see is what was deposited, all those hundreds of millions of years ago.

15

Candlestick Tower Overlook

In the distance, do you see three giant candles sticking out of the landscape? That’s Candlestick Tower! Doesn’t this sandstone formation look like a layered birthday cake, topped with candles? * The bottom layer is white, the middle a reddish-brown, and the top is red.

16

Murphy Point Trail

The trail that leads to Murphy Point Overlook is quite easy, adding up to 3.5 miles roundtrip. While the hike itself doesn’t offer much in the way of scenery, the overlook provides a stunning view of Stillwater Canyon and the Green River.

17

Buck Canyon Overlook

Here you’ll see spectacular views of Buck Canyon and the La Sal mountains. The short trail is paved, making it one of the most accessible places in the park. There’s also a rail that stands between you and the canyon, so if you are scared of heights, this overlook is perfect for you.

18

White Rim Overlook Trail

This is a great place to rest and enjoy a quick meal! There are only eight tables, so be sure to claim one if there are any available.

19

Orange Cliffs Overlook

We’re now at the end of the Canyonlands National Park tour. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey! If you enjoyed the tour, check out our other tours of nearby Arches, Bryce, Zion, and more!

41

Центр посетителей арок

Наше приключение в поразительных арках начинается прямо перед входом в парк и центром для посетителей. Мы увидим потрясающие памятники природы, необычные скальные образования и инопланетные древние ландшафты.

42

Нежная арка

Теперь мы находимся в самом известном месте в Arches: Delicate Arch. Быстрая прогулка приводит нас прямо к этому великолепному и невероятному образованию.

43

Солт-Вэлли-роуд

Это одна из самых тихих достопримечательностей парка. Как и Долина Кэш, Солт-Вэлли образовалась в результате обрушения множества куполов из песчаника. Разбросанные по земле осколки камней — это остатки того обвала.

44

Огненная печь

Наше путешествие продолжается мимо Огненной печи: сети узких каньонов и проходов среди высоких красных скал в национальном парке Арки.

45

Арка из песчаных дюн

По мере того, как мы едем, исследуя больше арок, мы узнаем больше о мифах пайютов, стоящих за ними, об испанских и мормонских поселенцах, которые пытались выжить на этой земле, и о людях, которые смогли сохранить этот потрясающий пейзаж в качестве национального парка.

46

Скальные образования Монитор и Мерримак

Посмотрите направо. Все, что вы можете видеть в данный момент, это высокие каменные стены. Это потому, что мы находимся у дна Семимильного каньона. Продолжая движение, мы выйдем из каньона и сможем увидеть две очень отчетливые детали на расстоянии справа — Мерримак и Монитор.

47

Государственный парк Dead Horse Point

Dead Horse Point — жуткое название, не правда ли? Согласно местной легенде, в начале 1800-х годов здесь загоняли диких мустангов, чтобы их разбили. Как только все желанные лошади были сломаны и забраны ковбоями, нежелательные остались на свободе.

48

Центр посетителей острова в небе

Остановитесь в Центре для посетителей впереди. Это отличное место, чтобы взять припасы, сходить в туалет и наполнить бутылки с водой. Как вы уже видели, в этом парке не очень развита инфраструктура, и обезвоживание здесь — не шутка.

49

Вид на каньон Шафер

С этой смотровой площадки открывается вид с трех сторон. Это может быть немного сложно, если вы боитесь высоты, поскольку между вами и Каньоном ничего нет. Однако невероятный вид того стоит.

50

Каньон Латроп

Многие природные достопримечательности и тропы в Каньонлендсе названы в честь ковбоев и владельцев ранчо. Фактически, в честь отца Неда Чаффина и одного из его братьев был назван источник.

51

Арка Меса

«Впереди, остановитесь перед Аркой Меса. Это обязательное место в Каньонлендсе. Припарковавшись, идите по короткой тропе к арке. Во время прогулки обратите внимание на можжевельник и сосновые деревья вокруг вас. Они популярны в Каньонленде, так что следите за ними и в других местах».

52

Вид на Грин-Ривер

С смотровой площадки Грин-Ривер открывается один из самых уникальных видов на остров Каньонленд в районе Скай. Вы можете видеть, как Грин-Ривер продолжает свою работу на стенах каньона. Река является крупнейшим потоком в штате Юта на 730 миль. Название, вероятно, происходит от зеленого мыльного камня, который можно найти на его берегах.

53

Ацтекская тропа Бьютт

Что делает этот маршрут особенным? Просто: зернохранилища, оставленные здесь коренными народами. Их видно с подножия последнего холма, если просто держать глаза открытыми. Этим зернохранилищам сотни лет, поэтому будьте осторожны при приближении.

54

Купол переворота

Помните, как скалы в парке формировались слоями? На большей части парка эти слои не нарушались с момента их образования. То, что вы видите, это то, что было отложено сотни миллионов лет назад.

55

Подсвечник с видом на башню

Вы видите вдалеке три гигантские свечи, торчащие из пейзажа? Это Свечная башня! Разве это образование из песчаника не похоже на многослойный торт ко дню рождения, увенчанный свечами? * Нижний слой белый, средний красновато-коричневый, верхний красный.

56

Тропа Мерфи-Пойнт

Тропа, ведущая к смотровой площадке Мерфи-Пойнт, довольно проста, в сумме она составляет до 3,5 миль туда и обратно. В то время как сам поход не предлагает много пейзажей, открывается потрясающий вид на каньон Стилуотер и реку Грин.

57

Вид на Бак-Каньон

Здесь вы увидите захватывающий вид на Бак-Каньон и горы Ла-Саль. Короткая тропа вымощена, что делает ее одним из самых доступных мест в парке. Между вами и каньоном также есть перила, поэтому, если вы боитесь высоты, этот обзор идеально подходит для вас.

58

Белая тропа с видом на край

Это отличное место, чтобы отдохнуть и насладиться быстрой едой! Есть только восемь столов, поэтому обязательно закажите один, если они есть.

59

Вид на Оранжевые скалы

Мы подошли к концу тура по национальному парку Каньонлендс. Надеюсь, вам понравилось путешествие! Если вам понравился тур, ознакомьтесь с другими нашими турами по близлежащим Аркам, Брайсу, Сиону и другим местам!

125

Sand Dune Arch

As we drive, exploring more arches, we'll learn more about the Paiute myths behind them, the Spanish and Mormon settlers who tried to survive in this land, and the people who were able to preserve this stunning landscape as a national park.

126

Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations

Look to the right. All you can see at the moment are tall rock walls. That’s because we’re near the floor of Sevenmile Canyon. As we continue to drive, we’ll emerge from the canyon and be able to see two very distinct features in the distance to the right -- the Merrimac and the Monitor.

127

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point — it’s a creepy name, isn’t it? According to local legend, wild mustangs used to be corralled here to be broken in the early 1800s. Once all the desirable horses had been broken and claimed by the cowboys, the undesirables were left to go free.

128

Island in the Sky

Stop by the Visitor Center coming up ahead. It’s a great place to grab supplies, use the bathroom, and fill up your water bottles. As you’ve already seen, this park doesn’t have much infrastructure, and being dehydrated out here is no joke.

129

Shafer Canyon Overlook

This overlook offers views from three sides. It may be a bit daunting if you're afraid of heights since there’s nothing between you and the Canyon. However, the incredible view is worth it.

130

Lathrop Canyon

A lot of natural landmarks and trails in Canyonlands are named by or after cowboys and ranchers. In fact, Ned Chaffin’s father and one of his brothers had a spring named after them.

131

Mesa Arch

"Ahead, pull over for Mesa Arch. This is a must-do at Canyonlands. Once you’ve parked, walk along the short trail to the arch. As you walk, notice the juniper and pinyon trees around you. These are popular in Canyonlands so keep an eye out for them elsewhere too."

132

Green River Overlook

The Green River Overlook offers some of the most unique views of Canyonland’s Island in the Sky District. You’re able to see the Green River continuing its work on the canyon walls. The river is the largest stream in Utah at 730 miles. The name probably comes from the green soapstone that can be found along its banks.

133

Aztec Butte Trail

What makes this trail special? Simple: the granaries left here by Native peoples. They’re visible from the base of the last hill if you just keep your eyes open. These granaries are hundreds of years old, so be careful when approaching.

134

Upheaval Dome

Remember how the park’s rocks have been formed in layers? In most of the park, these layers haven’t been disrupted since their formation. What you see is what was deposited, all those hundreds of millions of years ago.

135

Candlestick Tower Overlook

In the distance, do you see three giant candles sticking out of the landscape? That’s Candlestick Tower! Doesn’t this sandstone formation look like a layered birthday cake, topped with candles? * The bottom layer is white, the middle a reddish-brown, and the top is red.

136

Murphy Point Trail

The trail that leads to Murphy Point Overlook is quite easy, adding up to 3.5 miles roundtrip. While the hike itself doesn’t offer much in the way of scenery, the overlook provides a stunning view of Stillwater Canyon and the Green River.

137

Buck Canyon Overlook

Here you’ll see spectacular views of Buck Canyon and the La Sal mountains. The short trail is paved, making it one of the most accessible places in the park. There’s also a rail that stands between you and the canyon, so if you are scared of heights, this overlook is perfect for you.

138

White Rim Overlook Trail

This is a great place to rest and enjoy a quick meal! There are only eight tables, so be sure to claim one if there are any available.

139
