Salut
Je n'y suis pas encore allé, ça sera chose faire mi-juin si ce foutu volcan nous fiche la paix! Mais j'ai un guide américain où il y a marqué ceci: c'est en anglais mais si tu veux des précisions n'hésite pas
· For the adventurous, an alternative to driving from one overlook to another is to negotiate the
North Rim Trail **, which is 2.3 miles long, beginning at Inspiration Point. This trail ends at the Upper Falls parking area, where the Upper Falls Trail begins; it’s another.8 mile to the bridge that connects the North and South rims. Unfortunately, the North Rim Trail is not a loop, so if you take the hike, you’ll have to backtrack to get your car at Inspiration Point.
· An alternative to a seat on the crowded boardwalk is a stroll from the Old Faithful Geyser up the
Observation Point Trail to an observation area that provides better views of the entire geyser basin. The path up to the observation point is approximately a half-mile, and the elevation gain is only 200 feet; so it’s an easy 15-minute hike. The view of the eruption of the geyser is more spectacular from here, and the crowds are less obtrusive. From the vantage point of the Observation Point Trail, you’ll have a different perspective of the entire
Upper Geyser Basin. From the top of the boardwalk, continue to the
Solitary Geyser on a loop that leads back to the inn, adding only 1 mile to the trip on a mostly downhill trail.
· A few minutes’ drive from the Tower area is the
Calcite Springs Overlook. A short loop along a boardwalk leads to the overlook at the rim of
The Narrows, the narrowest part of this northern section of the
Grand Canyon.
