Ngokuthi ga iipaki zesizwe yiya, the IGrand Canyon yenye yezo ndawo ungenakuyihoya. Kukhulu, kuyimbonakalo, ayisoze isilele ukugqitha kulindelo.

Nokuba sinobunzima bokugoqa iintloko zethu malunga nokuma komhlaba, wavuma uEmily Davis, ochitha iintsuku zakhe esenza imibuzo kwi-Ofisi yeMicimbi yoLuntu yepaki. Sifumana imibuzo emininzi malunga nokuba yenziwe njani i-canyon, yafika njani apha ... abantu bazama ukuyifumanisa, kuba ayikhangeleki njengenye into.

Ngaphambi kokuba ucwangcise uhambo lokuya kwipaki yesizwe yesibini eMelika, nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi:

1. Ubusika lixesha elifanelekileyo lokuhamba…

Ubusika buthetha izihlwele ezimbalwa, kwaye izihlwele ezimbalwa zithetha ixesha elinye nelinye kunye nabagcini beepaki abanolwazi. Sebenzisa oku njengethuba lokubuza imibuzo malunga nejoloji, ukonwabele ixesha elide, ukhenketho olunzulu ngakumbi, okanye uthathe nje umphefumlo onzulu kwaye uxabise ukuhlala wedwa. Liliphi elinye ixesha oya kuba nethuba lokuba nepaki ye-1.2 yezigidi ye-acre kuwe?

2.… ukuba upakisha ngokufanelekileyo

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ucwangcisa utyelelo lwasebusika, sukuboniswa ezimfutshane kunye neteki. Emva kwayo yonke le nto, le inyakatho yeArizona. Ekuphakameni kweenyawo ezingama-7,000, ubusika yinto engenakuphepheka. Ngethuba leenyanga ezibandayo (ngoDisemba, ngoJanuwari, ngoFebruwari), iGrand Canyon inokufumana ikhephu elininzi njengeCleveland, eOhio, ngexesha lasebusuku ukwehla ukuya ku-2 okanye ngaphantsi.

3. Yazi indlela yokungena

Kwiminyango emithathu yepaki, zimbini kuphela-iSouth Rim kunye neDesert View-zihlala zivulekile unyaka wonke. Kwaye ngelixa icala ngalinye linezinto zalo, eyona mpuma yokungena (Ukujonga iDesert) yeyona nto inomdla. Kubaqalayo, kukude ngakumbi kwaye kunzima ukufikelela kuko, ngenxa yoko akunakufane ubambeke emva kwezinye iimoto. Kwaye, ukuba uqhuba unyuka usuka eFlagstaff, uyakonwabela indlela entle ngokumangalisayo ehamba nge-US 89, ngeHlathi leSizwe, intlango epeyintiweyo, kunye nomhlaba waseNavajo.

4. Musa ukutsiba IMboniselo

Nje ukuba uwele umda kwiDesert View, uya kufuna ukuvela kwangoko kwaye undwendwele i-Indian Watchtower. Isetyhula, inqaba ende engama-70 ibiluphawu lwentengiso ukusukela oko yenyuka ngo-1932, kwaye ingumsebenzi kaMary Elizabeth Jane Colter (owayesebenza nakwezinye izakhiwo ezibalulekileyo epakini). Ngaphakathi, inezitepsi ezijikelezayo ezihonjiswe ngemizobo yoqobo ngumculi weHopi-xa unyukele phezulu, uya kuba nakho ukubona yonke indlela ngaphesheya komwonyo kwaye uphume kwiincopho zeSan Francisco.

(Entsha kulo nyaka, umboniseli uguqulwe waba liziko lenkcubeko lokuhamba, kunye nababonisi benkcubeko veki nganye. Ukuba uza impelaveki, uza kuva iingxelo zomntu wokuqala kwilungu lesizwe samaNavajo okanye samaHopi.)

5. Zinyange ngobusuku e-El Tovar

Zintandathu iihotele ezibekwe ngaphakathi epakini, nangona inye kuphela kuzo, Ihotele i-El Tovar , Ngokwenene ulungiselela iseti yobunewunewu. Eyakhelwe kanye kwi-rim, i-1905 Swiss-style chalet izibini ezinombono omnandi ngokutya okuphezulu (uTeddy Roosevelt noAlbert Einstein bobabini babeziindwendwe apha). Ungalindelanga ukuyonwabela yonke kwifestile yakho: umyili uCharles Whittlesey ujolise kwisakhiwo ngendlela yokuba iindwendwe zinyanzelwe ukuba ziphume ngaphandle kwamagumbi azo kwaye zifumane umwonyo osondeleyo.

6. Tyhila umdla wakho wokufuna ukwazi

Kwimali yokungena eyi- $ 30 ngesithuthi ngasinye, ngokuqinisekileyo iindwendwe zifumana imali yazo. Ukwamkelwa kubandakanya ukufikelela kuzo zonke iziza ngaphakathi epakini, kunye nokupaka, inkonzo yebhasi yokuhamba, kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ukufikelela kubakhenkethi abakhokelwayo. Indawo yewebhusayithi ikhalenda inika inkcazo eneenkcukacha zeentetho ezahlukeneyo zejoloji kunye nokhenketho lwezilwanyana zasendle olucwangciselwe iveki yonke-isibonelelo esifanelekileyo, ukuba ufuna eminye yale mibuzo ivuthayo (Kutheni amatye ebomvu? Enzulu kangakanani iGrand Canyon? Yenze nini?) iphendulwe.
