The Meaning Behind the Places of Grand Canyon West<\/em><\/h1>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t

El pueblo Hualapai considera que el Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n Oeste es m\u00e1s que una simple atracci\u00f3n tur\u00edstica. El ca\u00f1\u00f3n y el r\u00edo Colorado son entidades vivas imbuidas de un esp\u00edritu consciente. Desde relatos orales hasta relatos hist\u00f3ricos, los principales puntos de inter\u00e9s del Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n tienen sus propias historias que contar.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

En un momento dado, lo que hoy es el Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n estaba completamente sumergido bajo el agua. La leyenda oral cuenta que un gran cometa de hielo cay\u00f3 en Colorado. Despu\u00e9s de millones de a\u00f1os, el cometa se derriti\u00f3 y el agua se precipit\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de las rocas, esculpiendo el Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n. La leyenda oral de los hualapai contin\u00faa diciendo que un \u00e1guila gigante volaba por los cielos antes de que comenzara la inundaci\u00f3n y se abalanz\u00f3 para salvar al pueblo hualapai. Esta gran \u00e1guila llev\u00f3 a los hualapai en su espalda y, cuando la inundaci\u00f3n ces\u00f3, deposit\u00f3 a los miembros de la tribu en la cornisa del borde oeste. El \u00e1guila se convirti\u00f3 en piedra, donde permanece hasta el d\u00eda de hoy.<\/p>\n

Cuando visites Eagle Point en el Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n Oeste, podr\u00e1s ver el \u00e1guila tallada en la roca. Aunque se puede ver desde cualquier punto del Gran Ca\u00f1\u00f3n, el mejor lugar para observarla de frente es desde el centro del Skywalk o desde el interior del restaurante Sky View.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

QUARTERMASTER<\/em> CANYON<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Long before the Zipline was built at Grand Canyon West, the Hualapai were forced to take the \u201cLong Walk to La Paz.\u201d The Hualapai of all ages endured excruciating hikes up to fifteen miles a day, driven by soldiers. During the Long Walk to La Paz, elderly Hualapai overheard the Calvary saying they would gun the tribesmen down. The elderly told the younger generation to run back home. They ran down an old sacred trail at Quartermaster Canyon all the way to the bottom of the Canyon and evaded the military. Today, direct descendants of these brave Hualapai live on and continue to tell their stories.<\/p>\n

Cuando sobrevuele el cielo en la tirolina, llegar\u00e1 al mirador Quartermaster, que ofrece unas vistas impresionantes del ca\u00f1\u00f3n Quartermaster. Este valle recibe su nombre de un miembro de la tribu Hualapai que se estableci\u00f3 all\u00ed a principios del siglo XX.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Guano Point was the catalyst for what was to come at Grand Canyon West through an interesting discovery. In the 1930s, two men floating down the Colorado River happened to land their boat along the bank near a cave. Upon closer inspection, they discovered guano, or bat feces, a popular ingredient back then for fertilizer, dynamite, and even makeup.<\/p>\n

Tras enterarse de que en la cueva hab\u00eda m\u00e1s de 100 000 toneladas de guano, la empresa estadounidense Guano Corporation compr\u00f3 la propiedad y construy\u00f3 un sistema de telef\u00e9rico de $3,5 millones para extraerlo. El telef\u00e9rico se construy\u00f3 desde la mina hasta lo que hoy se conoce como Guano Point, y la cabina del telef\u00e9rico se construy\u00f3 en terrenos arrendados por la tribu Hualapai.<\/p>\n

By 1959, all the cave\u2019s resources were exhausted \u2014 it turns out the predicted 100,000 tons was closer to 1,000 tons. A U.S. Air Force fighter jet crashed into the overhead cable system and permanently disabled it, never to be repaired. The remaining structures were left intact as a monument to man\u2019s attempt to mine the Canyon. What also remained were the roads the miners built, now used for Grand Canyon West tourism buses.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

For the Hualapai, Guano Point is sacred for another reason. Many Hualapai weren\u2019t able to escape the \u201cLong Walk to La Paz.\u201d These tribespeople jumped off the edge to their deaths rather than be captured by the military. Hualapai call these the lost souls. When you visit the area, be sure to remember these Indigenous people\u2019s ancestors and pay homage to their spirits.<\/p>\n

Today, Guano Point offers one of the most dramatic viewpoints of the Grand Canyon with \u201cHighpoint Hike\u201d and its stunning 360-degree views of the Canyon. Visitors can climb to the top of the rocks for breathtaking views, which are the most spectacular at sunset. Guano Point is a favorite of many of the Hualapai, and those luckily enough to visit this part of the rim.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
