Zion National Park<\/a> was glowing with its reddish, pink, orange, and yellow hues. Its rocky and semi-desert landscape was the gateway to the state of Utah<\/a>, in the United States<\/a>. Driving through it felt like being immersed in a nature theme park.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how I began my first road trip journey through the west of the country. After 10 years living in New York, it was about time to explore those spectacular national parks, still inhabited by American Indian communities. Driving from Las Vegas, Nevada, I went through Route 89<\/a>, visiting 4 sites: Zion, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe bend and Lake Powell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMG_8237\"
Springale es el pueblo m\u00e1s cercano al Parque Nacional de Zion <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Imposing walls, which form the canyon, majestic topography, hills, gorges, high precipices, lookouts, streams, lakes, ponds, swamps, desert… All of it is Zion<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El parque tiene 15 senderos con caminatas f\u00e1ciles, moderadas e intensas. Los buses gratuitos te llevan desde el parqueadero hasta el comienzo de cada trayecto. En mi caso eleg\u00ed \u2018Canyon Overlook\u2019. Es el \u00fanico lugar en el que puedes parquear el veh\u00edculo en un punto cercano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMG_8206\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

La experiencia es fascinante. Parte del camino es tallado sobre las piedra, hay abismos en los que debes agarrarte de la sogas y subidas sobre rocas. El calor de julio, intenso. Pero con agua, ropa c\u00f3moda y gorra llegar\u00e1s en una hora al punto panor\u00e1mico, donde las monta\u00f1as se entrelazan y le dan forma al ca\u00f1\u00f3n.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Narrows\u2019 es la m\u00e1s famosa y dif\u00edcil porque caminas por el r\u00edo Virgin y el trayecto es de 8 horas. En cambio, \u2018Angels Landing\u2019 es el \"estrella\", apta para los que no sufren de v\u00e9rtigo. Por tiempo no pude completar otro sendero porque deb\u00eda manejar tres horas hasta llegar al pueblo de Page, cercano a mi siguiente punto. Ant\u00edlope.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ca\u00f1\u00f3n del Ant\u00edlope,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubicado dentro del desierto en el estado de Arizona, para los indios Navajos, Ant\u00edlope es su sitio espiritual, en el que ellos sienten esa armon\u00eda con la naturaleza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este ca\u00f1\u00f3n, con curvaturas en sus paredes, es sin duda uno de los sitios m\u00e1s fotografiados y visitados del pa\u00eds. Debido a su delgadez, la luz que penetra a la roca arenisca le da unos tonos naranja, amarillo y rojo espectaculares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMG_8354(Edited)\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solo se puede ingresar con un tour dirigido por Los Navajos. La mejor hora por su luz, 12pm. Conseguir esos tickets requiere de un golpe de suerte o hay que comprarlos con semanas de anticipaci\u00f3n.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con suerte consegu\u00ed para las 11am. Durante la espera, el calor, una vez m\u00e1s, era intenso. Luego una camioneta nos llev\u00f3 \u00a0por una ruta de arena hasta el Ant\u00edlope Alto, donde ya la marejada de turistas hac\u00eda l\u00ednea para ingresar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adentro la atm\u00f3sfera era \u00fanica. M\u00e1gica. A medida que acercaba el mediod\u00eda, Ant\u00edlope ten\u00eda una \u00a0fusi\u00f3n \u00a0de luces y sombras. En ciertos espacios era como estar dentro de la cueva. Tomarse fotos era desafiante por la cantidad de turistas y la estrechez del ca\u00f1\u00f3n. Y, se suma la forma del sitio porque no es circular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Luego de una hora entre este fant\u00e1stico juego de colores, la siguiente parada era a 15 minutos. La Curva de la Herradura (Horseshoe bend).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Horseshoe bend<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Mi favorito. La vista natural m\u00e1s espectacular de Estados Unidos. Es como un lienzo. La altura del ca\u00f1\u00f3n, Glen, y el perfecto meandro rodeado por el rio Colorado (400m. de altura), te erizar\u00e1 \u00a0la piel y te dejar\u00e1 sin aliento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    La ruta desde el parqueadero hasta el borde, es muy corta. 15 minutos. Pero, al ser desierto y con la temperatura de 42 grados, hay decenas de letreros aconsejando llevar mucha agua y protecci\u00f3n solar. Y, tienen raz\u00f3n porque a los 5 minutos era dif\u00edcil hasta respirar y caminar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Una vez en el mirador, solo hay que disfrutar de la vista. Llenarse de energ\u00eda y fotografiar cada rinc\u00f3n. Los m\u00e1s arriesgados se acercaban al l\u00edmite para conseguir el retrato perfecto. La mejor hora. La ca\u00edda del sol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Una vez culminada esta traves\u00eda, regresaba a Las Vegas. Pero un letrero de entrada al Lago Powell capt\u00f3 mi atenci\u00f3n. Decenas de carros-casa estaban parqueados a lo largo del lago artificial que es el segundo reservorio m\u00e1s grande de Estados Unidos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Al ver el agua cristalina y con la temperatura tan alta, era imposible no sumergirse antes de regresar a Nevada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Datos:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • La entrada<\/strong><\/em> A Zion es de 35 USD por carro. El pase dura hasta una semana. <\/em><\/strong><\/li>
      • En la zona no hay muchos pueblos cercanos. Las mejores opciones son Springdale (cerca de Zion) y Page ( Ant\u00edlope). <\/em><\/strong><\/li>
      • Ant\u00edlope tiene dos ca\u00f1ones. Alto y bajo. La mejor vista es en el primero. La entrada vale 60 USD adultos. 30 USD ni\u00f1os. Solo se puede pagar en efectivo. <\/em><\/strong><\/li>
      • Los aeropuertos cercanos a estos sitios son el del Las Vegas, Nevadas y el de Phoenix, Arizona. <\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
