Afisha Life | Відкрийте для себе національний парк Каньйонлендс: автомобільний тур на цілий день

1

Національний парк Каньйонлендс

Екскурсія Національним парком Каньйонлендс, яку проводить Шака Гід, переведе вас на острів у районі Скай – диво геології та мальовничих краєвидів, що простягаються на сотні миль.

2

Скелі Монітор і Меррімак

Два батти, які ви можете побачити з цієї точки зору, «Монітор» і «Меррімак», були названі за схожість з першими американськими броньованими військовими кораблями. Побудовані під час Громадянської війни, ці кораблі допомогли розпочати сучасну епоху морської війни.

3

Державний парк Dead Horse Point

Парк штату «Дед Хорс Пойнт» розташований недалеко від дороги до Каньйонлендів, лежить на тій самій горі, що й Острів у небі, але пропонує абсолютно унікальний краєвид. Дізнайтеся про історію, давню та сучасну, цього популярного державного парку та мальовничого краєвиду.

4

Туристичний центр «Острів у небі».

Острів Каньйонлендс у Небесному центрі для відвідувачів — єдине місце в окрузі, де можна знайти питну воду та змивні туалети. Зупиніться тут, щоб заплатити вхідний квиток, поговорити з рейнджером і відвідати книгарню.

5

Вид на каньйон Шафер

З цієї точки зору ви можете дивитися вниз на стежку Шафера, яка петляє вниз по горі серією вузьких поворотів. Якщо ви прагнете пригод і у вас є відповідний транспортний засіб, ви можете подумати про те, щоб після екскурсії повернутися стежкою Шафера до Моава.

6

Меса Арка

Стежка до арки Меса — це легка півмиля в обидві сторони по бруду та слизу. Види на арку Меса та саму арку фантастичні на сході сонця. І це почуття поділяє багато, оскільки стоянка починає заповнюватися, коли надворі ще темно. Почніть завчасно, щоб отримати місце! Якщо ви не можете знайти місце, спробуйте зупинитися в другій половині дня після завершення екскурсії.

7

Свічкова вежа

Наступна зупинка – ще одне культове утворення в парку під назвою Свічкова вежа. Назва походить від його форми, яка нагадує свічник, що тане. Ця 450-футова вежа є популярним місцем для скелелазіння. Якщо ви відвідаєте це місце восени чи взимку, ви можете побачити одну чи дві сміливці, які піднімаються на вежу.

8

Вид на каньйон Бак

З оглядового майданчика Buck Canyon Overlook відкривається дивовижний вид на каньйон, чудові геологічні шари Каньйонлендс і прекрасні гори вдалині.

9

Оглядова стежка White Rim

На White Rim Overlook ви можете пройти відносно рівну стежку в обидві сторони довжиною 2,8 милі та побачити приголомшливий вид на 360 градусів на каньйон. Але якщо ви не в змозі, є також краєвид, який потребує лише кількох хвилин ходьби від стоянки. З цього краєвиду ви можете побачити річку Колорадо, яка вирізає ландшафт.

10

Вид на помаранчеві скелі

З цього краєвиду можна побачити помаранчеву скелю рекреаційної зони каньйону Глен, яка межує з Каньйонлендом. Ви також можете побачити район лабіринту, найвіддаленішу частину парку.

11

Великий оглядовий майданчик

Дивлячись вниз з великого оглядового майданчика, ви можете побачити складну мережу каньйонів, висічених Колорадо та зеленими річками. Якщо ви налаштовані на похід довжиною дві милі в обидва кінці, пройдіть стежкою до вершини острова в небі, Меса. Це один із найкращих походів у всьому парку.

12

Вид на Грін-Рівер

З цього краєвиду відкривається ще один захоплюючий вид на каньйон понад тисячу футів під дорогою, висічений тихою, але потужною річкою Грін. Річка сформувала більшу частину ландшафту в цій частині країни, витікаючи з Вайомінгу на лівій стороні континентального вододілу.

13

Стежка ацтеків Батт

Aztec Butte Trail — це 2,7-мильний похід туди й назад, який веде до деяких кам’яних зерносховищ предків пуебло з дивовижними краєвидами. Зерносховище було побудовано приблизно 800 років тому, близько 1200 року нашої ери.

14

Китова скеля

Назва Whale Rock походить від схожості каменя з синім китом. Хоча вам потрібно трохи уяви, щоб це побачити. Існує одна миля походу туди й назад до гігантської скелі з чудовими краєвидами на вершині, яку оцінюють як легку для модерування.

15

Upheaval Dome

Ця споруда, відома під кількома прізвиськами, зокрема «Пупок Юти», є найбільшою загадкою Каньйонленду, оскільки вчені не можуть дійти згоди щодо того, як вона утворилася. Є два способи дослідити купол. По-перше, пройдіть маршрутом довжиною одна миля в обидва кінці до краєвидів (наша рекомендація). Другий — пройти восьмимильну стежку, яка огинає хребет кратера. Це не тільки складно, але й місце, де відбувається більшість порятунків у парку.

16

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.

17

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.

18

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.

19

Island in the Sky

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.

20

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.

21

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.

22

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.

23

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.

24

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.

25

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.

26

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.

27

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.

28

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.

29

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.

30

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.

31
