2

Туристичний центр Гранд-Каньйону Південний край

Спершу ви прибудете до центру відвідувачів, де ви знайдете карти та іншу інформацію про парк, а також туалети та закуски.

3

Мазер Пойнт

Вашим першим оглядом буде Матер-Пойнт, одне з найпопулярніших місць парку. Краєвиди тут просто неймовірні, пропонуючи чітку лінію видимості до 30 миль через каньйон!

4

Явапай Пойнт

Наступна оглядова точка — мис Явапай, де ви побачите чудові краєвиди з південного краю каньйону та дізнаєтесь про плем’я, на честь якого ця точка названа.

5

Геологічний музей Явапаї

Хочете ознайомитися з геологічною історією Великого каньйону? Просто зупиніться в геологічному музеї Явапаї, щоб ознайомитися з освітніми експонатами!

6

Будинок Хопі

Першою зупинкою в селі є Будинок Хопі, неймовірно точне відтворення стародавніх жител Хопі, які можна було знайти тут, коли плем’я ще займало територію. Ця будівля також є ідеальним місцем, щоб забрати сувеніри ручної роботи з вашого візиту!

7

Студія Колб

Продовжуючи перегляд Kolb Studio, конкурента Lookouot Studio, ви почуєте все про запекле суперництво між ними, яке мало не призвело їх обох до краху ще в 1900-х роках.

8

Lookout Studio

Попереду дві будівлі, розташовані на краю каньйону. Ту, яку ви бачите прямо зараз, це Lookout Studio, і ви знайдете студію Kolb Studio трохи далі.

9

Дорога відлюдника

Для наступної частини туру ви сядете на борт безкоштовного трансферу до парку. Не хвилюйтеся, ваш аудіогід точно розповість вам, як це зробити!

10

Трейлвью Оверлюк

Першою зупинкою на Hermit Road є Trailview Overlook, звідки відкривається вид на знамениту Стежку Яскравого Ангела, виснажливу стежку, яка веде вниз до самого дна каньйону. Ймовірно, ви навіть побачите виснажених туристів, які піднімаються на нього!

11

Марікопа Пойнт

Далі — Марікопа-Пойнт, де колись працювали видобутки урану. Ознайомтеся з несподіваною історією, що стоїть за цим, і оцініть чудові краєвиди.

12

Пауелл Пойнт

Після цього Пауелл-Пойнт, який пропонує більше магії каньйону та вшановує дослідника, який ризикував життям і здоров’ям, щоб нанести карту річки Колорадо.

13

Хопі Пойнт

Маршрут шатла приведе вас поруч із мисом Хопі, де ви дізнаєтесь про білоголових орлів, їхнє значення для племені Хопі та про те, як їх помітити.

14

Мохаве Пойнт

Якщо ви сподівалися на чудовий краєвид на річку Колорадо, це наступне місце на Мохаве-Пойнт. Тут ви побачите цю надзвичайно могутню річку з висоти пташиного польоту.

15

Піма Пойнт

Наступна зупинка справа від вас – Піма-Пойнт, звідки відкривається один із найкращих краєвидів Колорадо. Коли ви там, зупиніться та послухайте. Якщо краєвид тихий, можна почути шум води, що рухається вздовж річки.

16

Відпочинок відлюдника

Тож звідки все це так називається? Що ж, у часи шахтарства один конкретний шахтар не мав інтересу бути поруч з іншими людьми. Він віддавав перевагу ритмам природи. Він провів більшу частину свого життя поблизу цього місця, задовольняючись тим, що проводив свої дні лише скелями, птахами та білками, які становили йому компанію.

17

Пайп Крік Віста

Після трансферу екскурсія продовжується на схід уздовж Desert View Drive. Першою зупинкою на цій дорозі є Пайп-Крік-Віста, улюблене місце для орнітологів, які сподіваються побачити рідкісні екземпляри каньйону, включаючи навіть надзвичайно рідкісного каліфорнійського кондора!

18

Grandview Point

Після цього Грандвью-Пойнт, і вид справді чудовий. Це також початок пішохідної стежки, яка веде нижче краю каньйону та містить деякі справді чудові пам’ятки.

19

Moran Point

Продовжуючи свою дорогу, ви дійдете до Моран-Пойнт, звідки відкривається чудовий вид на річку Колорадо з абсолютно нового кута.

20

Липан Пойнт

Після цього ви потрапите на Ліпан-Пойнт, звідки відкривається ще один чудовий краєвид на річку разом із цікавими фактами про геологію парку.

21

Навахо Пойнт

Останньою оглядовою точкою на цій дорозі є Навахо-Пойнт, і остання, звичайно, не менш важлива в цьому випадку. Навахо-Пойнт насправді є найвищим оглядовим майданчиком на всьому південному краю, що стоїть на приголомшливій висоті 7500 футів над рівнем моря!

22

Сторожова вежа з видом на пустелю Гранд-Каньйон

Нарешті ви дійдете до знаменитої Сторожової вежі Desert View, справді вражаючої кам’яної споруди, розташованої на краю каньйону. Залежно від пори року ви навіть можете піднятися на вершину, щоб побачити неймовірний вид. Тур закінчується тут.

23

Які Пойнт

Цей віддалений оглядовий майданчик із туалетами – популярне місце для спостереження за сходом і заходом сонця.

24

Стежка Південний Кайбаб

Стежка Південний Кайбаб — пішохідна стежка в національному парку Гранд-Каньйон, розташованому в американському штаті Арізона. На відміну від Стежки Яскравого Ангела, яка також починається на південному краю Великого каньйону і веде до річки Колорадо, Стежка Південного Кайбаба йде по хребту до Скелетон-Пойнт, відкриваючи круговий огляд каньйону.

25

Руїни Тусаян і музей

Руїни та музей Тусаян — чудова зупинка, щоб дізнатися більше про стародавні культури. Нам особливо сподобалася прогулянка через руїни з вивісками.

26

So where does all this stuff get its name? Well, back in the mining days, one particular miner had no interest in being around other people. He far preferred the rhythms of nature. He spent most of his life living near this spot, content to while away his days with only the rocks and birds and squirrels to keep him company.

42
