USA, Grand Canyon – USA, Horseshoe: Desert View and Horseshoe Bend

The new day began with the inscription of the Grand Canyon, those points that lay along the road of our further follow. All the most interesting places found along the way to Desert View, are carefully indicated by pointers and are equipped with parking lots. On the first site, I met the dawn with Andrews. Yes, it is necessary to wake up early if you want to see the awakening of the new day.

In the morning cool, a little uncomfortable, but damn beautiful. Around tourists with cameras running around, trying to capture a short moment and so, and so. Yes, we yourself are))

Gradually, the Grand Canyon is painted red, as if it covers the flame. Morning after sunrise and evening for a couple of hours before sunset – the most ideal time to create photo-masterpieces.

Another look-point is applied to the view of the Colorado River. To go down to her and climb back in a very cheerful pace, you will need a whole day. Although, stacking and descent and the rise in one day is not recommended, it is better to spend the night somewhere below. Maybe it would be interesting to descend, but we somehow thought, thought and decided not to go.

From afar of the reliefs of the Grand Canyon resemble a crumpled multicolored paper. The scale is impressive.

The farther from dawn, the thick of the haze, everything will soon become a very monochrome – gray-blue and it will be difficult to distinguish clear outlines of reliefs.

The southern part of the park is designed so that all it can be driving on transport (car, bus), only running on viewing platforms. For someone it is convenient, but for us a little bored. Maybe it was still necessary to go to a small way.

The last point of the Grand Canyon, on which we stay today – Desert View and his watchtower.

On this we say goodbye to the park and go on, to new attractions that America is so rich.

While Andrews is tightly kept behind the wheel and brings us to new interesting places, I sometimes photograph the surrounding landscapes. Even out of the car it is not necessary to go))

Well, isn’t it beautiful? And so constantly.

That’s profit. What kind of sight such? Navajo Bridge (Navajo Bridge) all through the same Colorado River. The river is longer, passes through several states, so it is often found on the path.

Yes, by the way, after leaving the Grand Canyon, a little weather, we got to the reservation of Navajo Indians, these are their lands. Immediately at each interesting point began to appear tents with Indian souvenirs: traps for dreams, jewelry, key chains and other, not too high-quality nonsense.

Before the trip, I had some kind of premonition that it was necessary to see if the road was discovered on the town of Page (Page). On the eve I read the traveler’s report, in which he wrote that in 2013 the 89 track we needed closed for repairs. Exactly the same saw and we. The arrival of Navajo bridge turned into a huge hook: instead of 20 more kilometers until the next point had to go more than a hundred. If you knew, the bridge went around the party.

Through thorns reached the famous American horseshoe (Horseshoe Bend), which is part of the Glen Canyon. This is something! I really wanted to see this place and now, finally, happened. Expectations and impressions coincided.

Crushing panorama, perhaps, better give the scale of the place. Guess what kind of river? That’s right, Colorado)) Here it has a beautiful emerald color that in combination with red slopes creates an amazing bright picture.

In the head does not fit like this all naturally happened?

Around all red. Hot color complements sunny heat. Very hot. From parking to horseshoe and back about 2.5 km, which you need to go through the sand. Such waters charging))

After went towards the panel. Stayed to find the place of overnight. Thinking, we decided that it was pointless to look for something in the chapeck: the city is terribly tourist, the prices there must be CO, so they went to Lake Powell (Powell Lake).

Suddenly, incredible landscapes appeared to the gaze, as if we were on another planet. Already at that moment, I understood that I delay in Glen Canyon (Glen Canyon) on the day, although it was originally planned to visit here.

But back to the urgent question: I drove into one organized camping, I looked at our place and went to pay. It turned out to be on the spot that it costs 26 dollars. Somehow a little expensive for a simple camping, is not true? Thought, looked at another camp on the map and went there. The place in it cost only $ 10, there we decided to swell. Called camping "Lonely cliff". Look at the photo and guess why? ))
