Afisha Life | Аудіоекскурсія по Капітолійському рифу

Національний парк Капітолійський риф

Оскільки аудіогіди відтворюють коментарі на основі вашого GPS-місцезнаходження, ви можете створити власний маршрут уздовж маршрутів туру відповідно до ваших інтересів і розкладу. Або ви можете скористатися нашими планувальниками поїздок, щоб отримати пропозиції щодо південних, повних або багатоденних маршрутів. Нижче наведено деякі з багатьох основних моментів;

Стежка Капітолійської ущелини

Розташоване в кінці мальовничої дороги, це 2,5 мильне розширення веде нас через каньйон з крутими стінами, а також подорож через багато мільйонів років геологічного часу. Ми станемо свідками скелі часів, коли цей ландшафт чергувався з давніми екваторіальними річковими рівнинами, а також найбільшою піщаною пустелею на планеті. Наприкінці або в дорозі настійно рекомендується легкий 1-мильний зворотний похід в ущелину. Примітка: обмеження розміру на Gorge Road становить 27 футів. Трейлери мають місце для від’єднання перед тим, як їхати об’їзною дорогою. Незважаючи на те, що дорога грунтова, вона добре облаштована та придатна для руху звичайного транспорту.

Будинок школи Fruita

Легкий виїзд на шосе дає нам швидку та просту зупинку, щоб зробити приголомшливе фото столітньої шкільної будівлі — всієї однієї кімнати. Трохи далі вздовж шосе поруч із шкільною будівлею розташований ще один приголомшливий приклад тих найдавніших піонерів – будиночок родини Бегуніних.

Фрукти

Археологи знайшли докази індіанських культур, які тисячі років населяли територію Капітолійського рифу. Наприкінці 1800-х років витривалі та працьовиті мормонські поселенці вирішили створити громаду, яка б вирощувала фруктові сади, особливо яблукові, але зрошувала їх за допомогою канав, щоб брати воду з річки Фремонт. На піку свого розвитку Фрута була домом для 10 сімей і розташована на початку мальовничої дороги. Сьогодні ми можемо досліджувати кілька будівель, що залишилися, але збереглися, і якщо ми будемо там під час сезону фруктів, нам дозволено збирати фрукти, щоб насолодитися ними прямо з дерев.

Гусяча шия Оверлюк

Протягом більшої частини нашого візиту ми будемо дивуватися шарам скель і формам скель, які височіють навколо нас. Оглядовий майданчик Goosenecks відкриває іншу перспективу, де ми можемо зазирнути вниз у крутий і глибокий каньйон. Найстаріша скеля в парку була оголена струмком внизу. Коротка прогулянка від Goosenecks приведе нас до найкращого місця для заходу сонця, до якого легко дістатися поблизу головної магістралі, але достатньо далеко, щоб насолодитися спокоєм.

6

Grand Wash Road

Коротка ґрунтова дорога, розташована на півдорозі вздовж Сценік-Драйв, Гранд-Вош наближає нас до нас із шарами скель, які місцями схожі на швейцарський сир. Цей каньйон колись був місцем укриття відомих розбійників, і ви зрозумієте, чому це було чудове місце, щоб триматися подалі від рук тих небажаних правоохоронців. Примітка: обмеження розміру на Gorge Road становить 27 футів. Незважаючи на те, що дорога грунтова, вона добре облаштована та придатна для руху звичайного транспорту.

7

Grand Wash Trail

Два чудові походи доступні з кінця дороги Гранд-Вош Спер. Перший – це досить напружений підйом на височини, звідки можна насолоджуватися краєвидом на Арку Кессіді, а також видом на долину. Набагато простіший варіант і, мабуть, найкращий короткий похід у парку — пройти стежкою Гранд-Вош. Це досить простий вступ до слот-каньйонінгу, і в найдивовижнішій точці над вами здіймаються стіни заввишки 800 футів, а ширина каньйону лише 15 футів. Не йдіть цією стежкою, якщо очікується дощ або небо загрожує, оскільки раптова повінь може бути справжньою небезпекою.

8

Фремонтські петрогліфи

З дуже зручної автостоянки на шосе це зупинка, яку не можна пропустити, щоб побачити неймовірні петрогліфи з легкої набережної. Археологічні дані розкрили багато про людей культури Фремонт, таку назву ми дали, оскільки вони населяли місця вздовж надійної річки Фремонт.

9

Мальовнича поїздка

Лише за 8 миль їзди, це дійсно вражає багатьма вражаючими краєвидами та дивовижними багатошаровими скелями. Це справжня родзинка Капітолійського рифу, коли ми знайомимося з Waterpocket Fold зблизька та особисто. Офіційна дорога Scenic Drive асфальтована та має дві короткі об’їзні дороги, які об’їжджають лише на короткі відстані. Розраховуйте провести пару годин, насолоджуючись оглядом визначних пам'яток уздовж дороги. Додайте більше часу, якщо хочете піти в похід чи два.

Capitol Reef National Park

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

11

Capitol Gorge Trail

Located at the end of the Scenic Drive, this 2.5 mile extension carries us through a steep-walled canyon, and also a journey through many millions of years of geological time. We will witness rock from times when this landscape alternated from ancient equatorial river plains, but also the planet's largest sand dune desert. At the end or the drive, an easy 1 mile return hike into the gorge is highly recommended. Note: The size restriction on the Gorge Road is 27 feet. Trailers have a location to detach before driving the spur road. Though the road is unpaved, it is well-maintained and suitable for regular vehicles.

12

Fruita Schoolhouse

An easy highway pullout provides us with a quick and simple stop for a terrific photo of the century old schoolhouse - all one room of it. Complementary to the Schoolhouse and located a little further along the highway is another terrific example of the those earliest pioneers building - the Behunin family cabin.

13

Fruita

Archeologists have found evidence of Native American cultures that occupied the Capitol Reef area for thousands of years. In the late 1800s, hardy and industrious Mormon settlers decided they could create a community cultivating fruit orchards, especially apples, but irrigating using ditches to draw water from the Fremont River. At its peak, Fruita was home for 10 families and is situated at the beginning of the Scenic Drive road. Today we can explore the few remaining, but preserved buildings and if we are there during fruit season, we are allowed to pick fruit to enjoy right from the trees.

14

Goosenecks Overlook

For most of our visit, we will marvel at the rock layers and shapes of cliffs that rise around us. The Goosenecks viewpoint provides a different perspective where we can peer down into a steep and deep canyon. The oldest rock in the park has been exposed by the creek below. A short walk from Goosenecks takes us to the best sunset location that is easily accessible close to the main highway - but far enough way to enjoy the peacefulness.

15

Grand Wash Road

A short unpaved spur road located midway along the Scenic Drive, Grand Wash gets us intimately close with the rock layers, which in places look like Swiss cheese. This canyon was once the hiding place for famous outlaws and you'll understand why it was a great place to stay out of the hands of those unwanted lawmen. Note: The size restriction on the Gorge Road is 27 feet. Though the road is unpaved, it is well-maintained and suitable for regular vehicles.

16

Grand Wash Trail

Two excellent hikes are available from the end of the Grand Wash Spur Road. The first is a fairly strenuous climb to elevated locations where a view of Cassidy Arch can be enjoyed - as well as views across the valley. The much easier option, and arguably the best short hike in the park is to follow the Grand Wash Trail. This is a fairly easy introduction to slot canyoning, and at its most amazing point, has 800 foot walls rising above you where the canyon is only 15 feet wide. Do not hike this trail if rain is forecast or skies are threatening as flash flooding can be a genuine risk.

17

Fremont Petroglyphs

From a very convenient highway parking area, it's a not-to-be-missed stop to view the incredible petroglyph panels from an easy boardwalk. Archeological evidence has revealed much about the Fremont Culture people, the name we have given as they inhabited sites along the reliable Fremont River.

18

Scenic Drive

For just an 8 mile drive, this really packs a punch with many spectacular views and amazing layered rock formations. It is the true highlight of Capitol Reef as we experience the Waterpocket Fold, up close and personal. The official Scenic Drive is paved, and has two short spur roads that detour just short distances. Expect to spend a couple of hours enjoying sightseeing along the drive. Add more time if like taking a hike or two.
