Национални парк Брице Цанион

Назван по мормонском пиониру Ебенезеру Брајсу, кањон Брајса постао је национални парк 1924. године. Брајс је познат по својој јединственој геологији, која се састоји од низа амфитеатара у облику потковице исклесаних са источне ивице висоравни Паунсаугунт у јужној Јути.

Сила ерозије је обликовала шарену кречњачку стену формације Кларон у бизарне облике, укључујући кањоне, прозоре, пераје и торњеве зване хоодоос. Затамњене бојама које су превише бројне и суптилне да би се могле назвати, ове хировити распоређене стене стварају чудесан пејзаж лавиринта, нудећи неке од најузбудљивијих и незаборавних шетњи и планинарења које можете замислити.

Центар за посетиоце Брице Цаниона

Крените у ову епску авантуру кроз Национални парк Брице Цанион непосредно пре Центра за посетиоце. Док почињемо вожњу, сазнаћемо о томе како је кањон добио име и о оригиналним људима Паитуе који су ову земљу називали домом.

3

Фаириланд Поинт

Наш први обилазак је на прелепом Фаириланд Поинту. Овај поглед нуди сјајан поглед на све што Брице Цанион садржи: широке видике, стрме литице и, наравно, светски познате хаудуе!

4

Сунрисе Поинт

Наша следећа станица је једна од најпознатијих у целом парку: Сунрисе Поинт. Са ове тачке гледишта, видећемо јединствене, сликовите формације стена које се простиру испред нас и мноштво природних стаза које воде у огроман, ванземаљски пејзаж.

5

Сунсет Поинт

Наша вожња нас доводи до још једне упечатљиве тачке са погледом на Амфитеатар Брајс: Сунсет Поинт. Овде, док гледамо у невероватне облике испод нас, научићемо о науци која стоји иза њихових формација и разумети шта тачно чини хауду. Истражићемо утицај геологије и ерозије у монументалној временској скали, надајући се да ћемо разумети како је настао тако невероватан пејзаж.

6

Инспиратион Поинт

Настављамо нашу самосталну турнеју дубље у кањон Брајс, ка Тачки инспирације. Док се возимо, учимо о народу Паиуте и њиховим митологијама. Имали су своје објашњење за јединственост овог пејзажа и порекло Брајсових чувених хоодоо-а.

7

Брице Поинт

Ово нас доводи до Брице Поинта, који нуди један од најсликовитијих погледа на пуни амфитеатар. Брице Поинт је такође познат по својим изузетним изласцима сунца. Одавде можете да посматрате врхове капуљача који се пале као у ватри од првих зрака излазећег сунца. Попут ватре, наранџаста светлост брзо шири сенке из свих осим најдубљих удубљења амфитеатра. Док се возимо овде, сазнаћемо о мормонским досељеницима који су пратили Паитуе и покушавали да зарађују за живот у овој немилосрдној клими.

8

Париа Виев

Наша самостална тура се наставља до Париа Виев-а, где видимо ефекте вековима старог глечера. Како се земља загрејала пре око 12.000 година, последње ледено доба се завршило. Како су се огромни глечери који су прекривали амерички континент топили, сва та нова вода је морала негде да оде. Одговор: низ кањон!

9

Фарвиев Поинт

Наша следећа станица је на Фарвиев Поинту. Није само надморска висина оно што омогућава тако невероватне погледе овде - земљиште овде такође нуди нешто што постаје све ређе у данашњем свету. Можете ли погодити шта је то? Чист ваздух! Томе доприноси обиље чекињастих борова, који су најстарије дрвеће на Земљи.

10

Агуа Цанион

У кањону Агуа два истакнута худуа привлаче пажњу. Са леве стране је виша од две куле, "Ловац". Десно, "зец". Али ни једно ни друго не личи на ловца или зеца! Док се возимо даље, учићемо о зечевима, јеленима и другим дивљим животињама Брајса. Такође ћемо разумети које трикове користе да би преживели врућа лета и дубоко смрзнуте зиме.

11

Кањон Пондероса

Ово нас доводи до тачке Пондероса, са које можете видети легендарне клеке у парку како се шире у даљини. Сада се возимо у најдубље удубине Националног парка Брице Цанион.

12

Раинбов Поинт

Коначно, стижемо до најудаљенијих погледа унутар кањона Брице: Раинбов и Иовимпа. Одавде можете да видите скоро све у кањону Брајс - суштинске хаудуе, зелени базен, стрме литице. Можете чак и да видите да сте на највишој степеници невероватно масивног „Великог степеништа“ – геолошке структуре која „силази“ све до Великог кањона у Аризони.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a National Park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its unique geology, which consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a National Park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its unique geology, which consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The erosional force has shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called hoodoos. Tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name, these whimsically arranged rocks create a wondrous landscape of mazes, offering some of the most exciting and memorable walks and hikes imaginable. Note: This 20+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Bryce in 2-3 hours.

14

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.

15

Fairyland Point

Our first detour is at the breathtaking Fairyland Point. This overlook offers a great sneak peek at everything Bryce Canyon contains: sweeping vistas, sheer cliffs, and, of course, the world-famous hoodoos!

16

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.

17

Sunset Point

Our drive brings us to another striking vista point overlooking the Bryce Amphitheatre: Sunset Point. Here, as we gaze out over the implausible shapes below us, we'll learn about the science behind their formations and understand what, exactly, makes a hoodoo. We'll explore the impact of geology and erosion over a monumental time scale, hoping to understand how such a incredible landscape came into existence.

18

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.

19

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.

20

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!

21

Farview Point

Our next stop is at Farview Point. It’s not just the elevation that allows for such incredible views here -- the land here also offers something becoming increasingly rare in today’s world. Can you guess what it is? Clean air! That's helped along by the abundance of bristlecone pines here, which are the Earth's oldest trees.

22

Agua Canyon

At Agua Canyon two prominent hoodoos command attention. On the left, is the taller of the two towers, "The Hunter." To the right, the "Rabbit". Neither look anything like a hunter or rabbit though! As we drive on, we'll learn about rabbits, deer, and other wildlife of Bryce. We'll also understand what tricks they use to survive the scorching hot summers and deeply freezing winters.

23

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.

24

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.

Our next stop is at Farview Point. It’s not just the elevation that allows for such incredible views here -- the land here also offers something becoming increasingly rare in today’s world. Can you guess what it is? Clean air! That's helped along by the abundance of bristlecone pines here, which are the Earth's oldest trees.

82

Agua Canyon

At Agua Canyon two prominent hoodoos command attention. On the left, is the taller of the two towers, "The Hunter." To the right, the "Rabbit". Neither look anything like a hunter or rabbit though! As we drive on, we'll learn about rabbits, deer, and other wildlife of Bryce. We'll also understand what tricks they use to survive the scorching hot summers and deeply freezing winters.

83

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.

84

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.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a National Park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its unique geology, which consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon became a National Park in 1924. Bryce is famous for its unique geology, which consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The erosional force has shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called hoodoos. Tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name, these whimsically arranged rocks create a wondrous landscape of mazes, offering some of the most exciting and memorable walks and hikes imaginable. Note: This 20+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Bryce in 2-3 hours.

86

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.

87

Fairyland Point

Our first detour is at the breathtaking Fairyland Point. This overlook offers a great sneak peek at everything Bryce Canyon contains: sweeping vistas, sheer cliffs, and, of course, the world-famous hoodoos!

88

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.

89

Sunset Point

Our drive brings us to another striking vista point overlooking the Bryce Amphitheatre: Sunset Point. Here, as we gaze out over the implausible shapes below us, we'll learn about the science behind their formations and understand what, exactly, makes a hoodoo. We'll explore the impact of geology and erosion over a monumental time scale, hoping to understand how such a incredible landscape came into existence.

90

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.

91

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.

92

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!
