1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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!

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

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.

11

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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

Weeping Rock Trail

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

15

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.

16

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!

17

49

Туристический центр Брайс-Каньона

Отправляйтесь в это эпическое приключение по национальному парку Брайс-Каньон прямо перед центром для посетителей. Когда мы начнем поездку, мы узнаем о том, как каньон получил свое имя, и о коренных народах пайту, которые называли эту землю своим домом.

50

Восход Точка

Наша следующая остановка — одна из самых известных во всем парке: Sunrise Point. С этой точки зрения мы увидим уникальные, живописные скальные образования, раскинувшиеся перед нами, и множество естественных троп, ведущих в обширный инопланетный ландшафт.

51

Точка вдохновения

Мы продолжаем нашу самостоятельную экскурсию вглубь Брайс-Каньона, к точке Вдохновения. Пока мы едем, мы узнаем о народе пайютов и их мифологии. У них было собственное объяснение уникальности этого ландшафта и происхождения знаменитых худу Брайса.

52

Брайс Пойнт

Это приводит нас к Брайс-Пойнт, откуда открывается один из самых живописных видов на весь амфитеатр. Брайс-Пойнт также известен своими необычными восходами солнца. Отсюда можно наблюдать, как верхушки худу загораются, словно от первых лучей восходящего солнца. Подобно огню, оранжевый свет быстро отбрасывает движущиеся тени из всех уголков амфитеатра, кроме самых глубоких. Пока мы едем сюда, мы узнаем о поселенцах-мормонах, которые следовали за пайту и пытались зарабатывать на жизнь в этом неумолимом климате.

53

Пария Вью

Наша самостоятельная экскурсия продолжается в Париа Вью, где мы видим последствия многовекового ледника. Когда земля прогрелась около 12 000 лет назад, последний ледниковый период подошел к концу. По мере таяния огромных ледников, покрывавших американский континент, вся эта новая вода должна была куда-то уходить. Ответ: вниз по каньону!

54

Каньон Пондероза

Это приводит нас к Пондероза-Пойнт, откуда вы можете увидеть культовые можжевельники парка, простирающиеся вдаль. Теперь мы въезжаем в самые глубокие уголки национального парка Брайс-Каньон.

55

Рейнбоу Пойнт

Наконец, мы достигаем самых дальних видов внутри Брайс-Каньона: Рэйнбоу и Йовимпа. Отсюда вы можете увидеть почти все в Брайс-Каньоне - квинтэссенцию худу, зеленую котловину, отвесные скалы. Вы даже можете увидеть, что вы находитесь на верхней ступеньке невероятно массивной «Большой лестницы» — геологической структуры, «спускающейся вниз» вплоть до Гранд-Каньона в Аризоне.

56

Национальный парк Зайон

Национальный парк Зайон — это природный заповедник на юго-западе штата Юта, отличающийся крутыми красными скалами каньона Зайон. Сценический проезд к каньону Зайон проходит через его основную часть, ведущую к лесным тропам вдоль реки Вирджин. Река впадает в Изумрудные пруды, у которых есть водопады и висячий сад. Также вдоль реки, частично через глубокие пропасти, проходит переход вброд через Сион-Нарроуз.

57

Туристический центр Спрингдейла

Добро пожаловать в национальный парк Зайон! В этом необработанном ландшафте есть все: потрясающие горные вершины, потрясающие природные бассейны и великолепные виды. Сегодня мы все это изучим.

58

Центр посетителей каньона Зайон

Продолжайте прямо. Прямо перед мостом вы увидите тропинку слева. Это начало тропы Парус. А сразу за мостом другая тропа - Тропа Сторожа. Оба популярных похода с прекрасным видом в конце.

59

Сценический проезд к каньону Зайон

Ух ты, какой вид! Эти три горы — культовый Двор Патриархов. И кто эти патриархи? Ну, местный христианский служитель назвал их в честь трех фигур из Библии: Авраама, Исаака и Иакова, слева направо.

60

Изумрудные бассейны

Во-первых, принесите много воды! Вы можете подумать, что у вас достаточно… но, вероятно, это не так. Это может показаться очевидным, но жара в Юте неумолима, и тепловой или солнечный удар может легко испортить веселый отдых. Во-вторых, убедитесь, что вы не перенапрягаете себя! Прогулка здесь будет сложнее, чем вы, возможно, привыкли, благодаря высоте. Убедитесь, что вы не отправляетесь в путешествие, в котором не уверены, что сможете его закончить.

61

Приземление Ангела

В этом парке есть множество отличных троп, но Angel’s Landing стоит особняком. Те, кто завершает поход, описывают его как захватывающий опыт, как никакой другой, предлагая невероятные виды и большой выброс адреналина.

62

Тропа плачущей скалы

Непрерывный поток воды стекает по его лицу из ручья далеко выше.

63

Тропа с видом на каньон

Тропа с видом на каньон — одна из лучших в Восточном Зайоне, хотя она короткая и легкая. Почему? Просто - захватывающий вид сверху.

64

Шахматная Меса

Посмотрите на эту плато, поднимающуюся в небо. Заметили что-нибудь необычное? Подойдя поближе, вы сможете различить странную сетку перекрещивающихся линий по всему периметру. Он немного похож на шахматную доску, поэтому и получил название Checkerboard Mesa!

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.

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!
