1

Canyonlands National Park

Shaka Guide’s Canyonlands National Park tour will take you to the Island in the Sky district - a marvel of geology and scenic views that stretch on for hundreds of miles.

2

Monitor and Merriamac Rock Formations

The two buttes you can see from this viewpoint, the Monitor and the Merrimac, were named for their resemblance to the first American made ironclad warships. Built during the Civil War, these ships helped usher in the modern era of Naval warfare.

3

Dead Horse Point State Park

Dead Horse Point State Park lies just off the road to Canyonlands, rests on the same mesa as Island in the Sky, but offers a wholly unique view. Learn about the history, ancient and modern, of this popular state park and scenic overlook.

4

Island In The Sky Visitor Center

The Canyonlands Island in the Sky Visitor Center is the only place in the district to find potable water and flushing toilets. Stop here to pay your entrance fee, talk to a ranger, and visit the bookstore.

5

Shafer Canyon Overlook

From this viewpoint, you can look down on the Shafer Trail as it winds its way down the mountain via a series of narrow switchbacks. If you’re feeling adventurous and you have the right kind of vehicle, you might consider taking the Shafer Trail back to Moab after the tour.

6

Mesa Arch

The trail to Mesa Arch is an easy half-mile round trip over dirt and slickrock. The views at Mesa Arch, and the arch itself, are fantastic at sunrise. And this is a sentiment shared by many because the parking lot begins to fill up while it’s still dark outside. Get started early to make sure you get a spot! If you can’t find a spot, try stopping by in the afternoon after you complete the tour.

7

Candlestick Tower Overlook

The next stop is another iconic formation in the park called the candlestick tower. The name comes from its shape, which resembles a melting candlestick. This 450-foot tower is a popular rock climbing spot. If you visit during fall or winter, you might be able to catch a glimpse of a brave soul or two making their way up the tower.

8

Buck Canyon Overlook

Buck Canyon Overlook offers an amazing canyon view of the gorgeous geological layers in Canyonlands and the beautiful mountains in the distance.

9

White Rim Overlook Trail

At the White Rim Overlook, you can hike a relatively flat,1.8-mile round-trip trail and see a stunning 360 degree view of the canyon. But if you're not feeling up to it, there's also an overlook that requires just a short walk from the parking lot. From this overlook, you can see the handiwork of the Colorado river carving out the landscape.

10

Orange Cliffs Overlook

From this overlook, you can see the orange cliff section of Glen canyon recreational area which borders Canyonlands. You can also see the maze district, the most remote part of the park.

11

Grand View Point Overlook

Looking down from the grand viewpoint, you can see a complex network of canyons carved by the Colorado and green rivers. If you're feeling up for a two-mile round-trip hike, follow the trail to the tip of the island in the sky, mesa. This is one of the best hikes in the entire park.

12

Green River Overlook

This overlook offers yet another breathtaking view of the canyon over a thousand feet below the road, carved out by the peaceful yet powerful Green River. The river shaped much of the landscape in this part of the country, originating from Wyoming on the left side of the continental divide.

13

Aztec Butte Trail

Aztec Butte Trail is a 1.7-mile round-trip hike that leads to some ancestral Puebloan stone granary structures with some amazing views. The granary was built roughly 800 years ago, around 1200 AD.

14

Whale Rock

The name Whale Rock comes from the rock’s resemblance to a blue whale. It does take a little imagination for you to see it though. There is a one-mile round-trip hike up to the giant rock with great views on top that’s rated as easy to moderate.

15

Upheaval Dome

Known by several nicknames including Utah’s Belly Button, this structure is the biggest mystery of Canyonlands because scientists can’t agree on how it was formed. There are two ways to explore the dome. The first is to follow a one-mile round-trip trail to the overlooks (our recommendation). The second is to hike an eight-mile trail that wraps around the Ridge of the crater. It's not only challenging, but it's also where most of the rescues in the park happen.

46

Национальный парк Каньонлендс

Экскурсия по национальному парку Каньонлендс от Shaka Guide доставит вас на остров в районе Неба — чудо геологии и живописных видов, которые простираются на сотни миль.

47

Скальные образования Монитор и Мерримак

Два холма, которые вы можете увидеть с этой точки зрения, «Монитор» и «Мерримак», были названы в честь их сходства с первыми бронированными военными кораблями американского производства. Построенные во время Гражданской войны, эти корабли открыли современную эру военно-морских войн.

48

Государственный парк Dead Horse Point

Государственный парк Dead Horse Point находится недалеко от дороги в Каньонлендс, на той же плато, что и Island in the Sky, но предлагает совершенно уникальный вид. Узнайте об истории, древней и современной, этого популярного государственного парка и живописного вида.

49

Центр посетителей острова в небе

Остров Каньонлендс в Центре для посетителей Sky - единственное место в округе, где можно найти питьевую воду и туалеты со смывом. Остановитесь здесь, чтобы заплатить за вход, поговорить с рейнджером и посетить книжный магазин.

50

Вид на каньон Шафер

С этой точки зрения вы можете посмотреть вниз на тропу Шафера, которая спускается с горы через серию узких поворотов. Если вы чувствуете себя авантюрным и у вас есть подходящее транспортное средство, вы можете подумать о том, чтобы вернуться по тропе Шафера в Моав после тура.

51

Арка Меса

Тропа к Арке Меса — это легкая поездка туда и обратно на полмили по грязи и скользкой скале. Виды на арку Меса и на саму арку на рассвете просто фантастические. И это мнение разделяют многие, потому что парковка начинает заполняться, когда на улице еще темно. Начните заранее, чтобы убедиться, что вы получите место! Если вы не можете найти место, попробуйте зайти во второй половине дня после завершения тура.

52

Подсвечник с видом на башню

Следующая остановка — еще одно культовое образование в парке, называемое башней-подсвечником. Название происходит от формы, напоминающей плавящийся подсвечник. Эта 450-футовая башня является популярным местом для скалолазания. Если вы приедете осенью или зимой, вы сможете мельком увидеть одну или две смелые души, поднимающиеся на башню.

53

Вид на Бак-Каньон

С видом на Бак-Каньон открывается потрясающий вид на каньон, великолепные геологические слои Каньонлендса и красивые горы вдалеке.

54

Белая тропа с видом на край

В White Rim Overlook вы можете пройти по относительно ровной тропе длиной 2,8 мили туда и обратно и увидеть потрясающий 360-градусный вид на каньон. Но если вы не готовы к этому, есть также упущение, которое требует всего в нескольких минутах ходьбы от парковки. С этой точки зрения вы можете увидеть работу реки Колорадо, вырезающую ландшафт.

55

Вид на Оранжевые скалы

С этой точки зрения вы можете увидеть часть оранжевого утеса рекреационной зоны каньона Глен, которая граничит с Каньонлендом. Вы также можете увидеть район лабиринтов, самую отдаленную часть парка.

56

Гранд Вью Пойнт Оверлук

Глядя вниз с величественной смотровой площадки, вы можете увидеть сложную сеть каньонов, прорезанных Колорадо и зелеными реками. Если вы настроены на двухмильный поход туда и обратно, следуйте по тропе к оконечности острова в небе, столовой горе. Это один из лучших маршрутов во всем парке.

57

Вид на Грин-Ривер

Этот вид предлагает еще один захватывающий вид на каньон на тысячу футов ниже дороги, вырезанный мирной, но мощной Зеленой рекой. Река сформировала большую часть ландшафта в этой части страны, беря начало в Вайоминге на левой стороне континентального водораздела.

58

Ацтекская тропа Бьютт

Ацтекская тропа Бьютт — это 2,7-мильная прогулка туда и обратно, которая ведет к некоторым исконным пуэблоанским каменным зернохранилищам с потрясающими видами. Зернохранилище было построено примерно 800 лет назад, около 1200 г. н.э.

59

Китовая скала

Название «Китовая скала» происходит от сходства скалы с синим китом. Однако для того, чтобы это увидеть, нужно немного воображения. К гигантской скале с великолепным видом сверху можно добраться пешком на одну милю туда и обратно, который оценивается как легкий для умеренного.

60

Купол переворота

Эта структура, известная под несколькими прозвищами, включая Пупок Юты, является самой большой загадкой Каньонленда, потому что ученые не могут прийти к единому мнению о том, как она образовалась. Есть два способа исследовать купол. Во-первых, пройти по тропе длиной в одну милю туда и обратно до смотровых площадок (наша рекомендация). Второй — пройти восьмимильную тропу, которая огибает хребет кратера. Это не только сложно, но и именно здесь происходит большинство спасательных операций в парке.

61
