Ua Hoʻokumuʻoe i kahi Canyon?
E noi aku i kahi mea hoʻokele e makemake eʻimi i ka wao nahele ma ka hemaʻo Utah aʻo ia paha e hoʻomaka i ke kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka holoʻana ma nā pūkuniahi. E noi i nā piʻi e pili ana i ke kuhiʻana i nā pūkuniahi o ke kuʻi a na lākou e paʻi i ko lākou mau maka.
ʻO nā kuʻemaka o ke kuhi he mau'ūliki'āpana i loko o ka'ōpū o ka honua i hoʻolālāʻia e ka makani, ka wai, a me nā manawa. ʻO ka nui o lākou he ākea ma ka piko akā inā e hāʻule (kahi a hiki i ka 100 mau kapuaʻi aʻoi aʻe paha) ua liʻiliʻi.
E nānā aku iāʻoe iho i kahi kikowaena ma waena o nā paia kahi āu e omo ai i kou'ōpū (aiʻole e paʻi i kāu komo ma o ka māwae) e hele. Ua hiʻi wau i loko o ia mau mea a ua hoʻonāukiuki wau iā lākou no kaʻike pono e makemake wau e hoʻi hou no ka mea hou aku.
Ināʻaʻoleʻoe iʻike i keʻano o ka hoʻokuʻuʻana i kaʻaoʻao o kahi pāhao canyon, aia nā pūʻulu, ma Moapi a me nā wahi'ē aʻe o Iudea,ʻaʻole loa eʻaʻa ma nā hikes e komo pū ana nā mele i loko o nā canyons. Ua lohi lōʻihi nāʻenehanaʻike a hoʻonuiʻia i loko o nā canyons i nā wahi mamao loa ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa. (E nānā i nā kiʻi paʻi ma environnementgraffiti.com, eʻike i kekahi o nā Canonons 15 Loa Loa Loa i ka Honua, e like me ka mea kākau.)
Māhele Canne i ka Paʻi ma Utah
ʻO ka pōhaku pōhakuʻo Navajo ma ka hemaʻo Iuda, ua maʻalahiʻo ia i ka hanaʻana o nā mea kaua. Hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa iā lākou ma Ziona National Park, ka Papa Nui, nā Paria Canyons a me ka māhele o Lake Powell.
Eiaʻelua mau meaʻoluʻolu eʻimi, aʻo ke kolu kahi kūikawā loa.
ʻO nā holokū e hele i loko o ke kahawaiʻo Spooky no ka mea, ua liʻiliʻi loa i nā wahi a ua pōʻeleʻele i lalo. (Mai laweʻoe i kēia hike ināʻoe he claustrophobic!) Ua heluʻiaʻo ia he mile-3 mile mile mile.
ʻO nā hanaʻeleʻele i ka Capitol Reef's Sheets Gulch i loko o ka pīpī Waterpocket Fold canyons kekahi mau canyons.
Ke komoʻoe i loko o nā paiaʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele,ʻeiwa mau mile ka lōʻihi loa. (A iʻole, hiki iāʻoe ke ho'ōki i kahi manawa a laila huli a huli a hoʻi.) He nani nā kiʻi i ke kahawai.
Aia i kaʻikeʻiaʻo Ziona o ka Pākīpika'ē aʻe i kahi mau pahu kukui ma kahi'ē aʻe ma Utah. ʻO kaʻoihana kaulana loaʻo ia ka holo ma waena o Ziona Zina. Ke holo nei ka muliwaiʻo Virgin i kēia kahawai, a aia nā pali e piʻi i luna iʻelua kapuai. Hiki i ka holoholoʻana i uka ma kahi o ka makahiki. (ʻAe, e hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻoe.) E nīnau i ka keʻena keʻena no nāʻike, nā kiko, a me nāʻae.
Nui nā koho'ē aʻe i loko o ka pā. ʻO ka heleʻana i ke Kehu Ula i ka Hale Ula he ala maʻalahi loa ia eʻimi ai i ka nani o nā canyons o Sioni.
No ka papa inoa o nā canyons slot a me nāʻike e pili ana i ka holoʻana a iʻole eʻimiʻana iā lākou, e kaomi i kaʻaoʻao pūnaewele puni honua oʻAmelika Hui PūʻIa. E nānā mau me kahi keʻena o ka Service Park ma kahi kūlana kūikawā paha a iʻole nā kānaka kūpono kūpono eʻike ai inā he mea palekana ke hele ma nā pūnaewele puni honua i kekahi lā. Hoʻopili ka lolo i nā wahi mamao mai nā canyons i hiki ke hoʻololi i kaʻike i loko o ka moeʻuhane-ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
