ユタの峡谷・トップ20

This is a relatively easy slot canyon to get to, but the heat and sand can make it seem further than it is. However, it is beautiful and worth the effort, just be sure to never go in a slot canyon if there is thunderstorms in the area as they can flash flood in an instant!

It's usually quite crowded here

The Temple of Sinawava is a massive amphitheater carved by the Virgin River. With beautiful waterfalls, hanging gardens of lush foliage & flowers and 3,000 foot red rock cliffs, it's no wonder why this is one of Zion's most popular spots.

We reach the spectacular Bryce Canyon. The bizarre rock formations ("hoodoos") are just as characteristic of Bryce Canyon as its forests. The combined forces of wind, water and ice have created a landscape of rock pillars in strange shapes and sizes. These rock formations are also called hoodoos. The hoodoos create a labyrinth of constantly changing shapes and colors from bright orange to pale pink or ochre. Here we take the opportunity to descend into the canyon. The change of perspective makes us really aware of the size of the individual rock formations. We see several chipmunks that are far too quick for my camera.

The magic of this landscape, which has always inspired people's imagination, is described in a legend of the Paiute Indians. According to it, a long time ago the Legend People lived in a wonderful city that Coyote had built for them. When the Legend People began to behave ungratefully and badly towards Coyote, he turned them into immovable rocks as punishment. And so today, on hikes through the valley, we encounter curious-looking stone figures at every turn.

Wear non-slip shoes that can get wet, swimwear or quick-drying sports clothes (change of clothes) and a thick stick

Lovely walk in the afternoon sun, plenty of shade and great underfoot.
