코코니노 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

This sheltered cove is home to a hanging garden, an interesting feature to see in the rocky Glen Canyon. A hanging garden is formed when a water source reaches an impermeable layer of rock and can no longer move downwards. The water then moves sideways across the rock and once it reaches the wall of a canyon, it seeps out of the rock. If there is an overhang that prevents the water from evaporation quickly, it creates an environment where plants can grow on the rock wall and on the ground below.

We're all here for the incredible panoramic views; the elevation gain to get here also makes this a satisfying turnaround point if you're out for a short run. There is a pit toilet here (no running water). Use with caution and consider noseplugs. Hopefully it goes without saying that heat is a serious consideration here, as is lack of water (there is none available on the ridge).

There is no parking at the trailhead for the South Kaibab Trail. If you need parking, you can leave your car at the Visitor Center, then take the Kaibab Route shuttle bus to the trailhead. The trail itself is a wonderfully well maintained dirt trail that gives you amazing views.

Lower Antelope Canyon is slightly longer and less busy that the more well known Upper section of the canyon. That being said you still need to book a guided tour in order to enter the canyon so be sure to get that taken care of early so you don't miss out.

Sweeping views of the lower canyon open up before you as you reach the point. You are about halfway down to Bright Angel, and the second major vertical section of the trail switchbacks away beneath you. Skeleton Point is so named for the unexpected discovery of the skeletons of old miners.

The Rim Trail stretches 13 miles from the South Kaibab Trailhead to Hermits Rest, offering a mostly paved, very well-defined trail. The trail is mostly flat and ideal for an easy hike. The views into the Grand Canyon are unbeatable, and there are shaded areas to take advantage of in hot weather. In winter, surfaces may be slippery or icy, so traction devices are recommended, and summer brings the risk of lightning during thunderstorms. Leashed pets are allowed on the trail but not on park shuttle buses. The trail is wheelchair accessible from Lookout Studio to the South Kaibab Trailhead, with dirt sections west of Bright Angel Lodge.

A beautiful natural phenomenon, how the Colorado River draws a horseshoe in nature with incredibly beautiful colors👍🏼
