Grand Canyon Rafting - Emery Falls - Hualapai River Runners - Arizona - EUA - 360VR
Mais em:
Geralmente quem busca um rafting pelo interior do Grand Canyon deve reservar entre 3 e 21 dias da agenda para o tour completo de 279 milhas no Rio Colorado, porém, para os aventureiros que desejam ter esta experiência e não tem tanto tempo assim a Hualapai River Runners proporciona uma pequena viagem de um dia em algumas das águas mais famosas do mundo.
A Hualapai River Runners é a única empresa autorizada a fazer o rafting de apenas um dia no Grand Canyon. Estes passeios só são disponibilizados entre março e outubro e acontecem em botes motorizados especialmente desenvolvidos para as águas do Rio Colorado, com capacidade para até oito pessoas.
Depois de vários quilômetros navegados por entre os paredões que chegam a alcançar 1.600 metros de altura paramos em um espaço onde não dá pra ver nada além de um pouco de vegetação, entramos no mato e desaparecemos por uma trilha. No final, uma surpresa belíssima, a Emery Falls, uma cascata com água gelada para nos refrescar.

Crand Canyon. Indian Tribe Hualapai. January.2012.MOV
Crand Canyon. Indian tribe Hualapai.
The Hualapai Tribe is a federally recognized Indian Tribe located in northwestern Arizona. Hualapai (pronounced Wal-lah-pie) means People of the Tall Pines. In 1883, an executive order established the Hualapai reservation.
The reservation encompasses about one million acres along 108 miles of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River. Occupying part of three northern Arizona counties: Coconino, Yavapai, and Mohave, the reservation's topography varies from rolling grassland, to thick forests, to rugged canyons. Elevations range from 1,500 feet at the Colorado River, to over 7,300 feet at the highest point of the Aubrey Cliffs.
The total population of the Hualapai Reservation is about 1,621 of whom 1,353 are tribal members (2000 U.S. Census). Total tribal membership, including members not residing on the reservation, is approximately 2,300. Most people who reside on the reservation live in the capitol town of Peach Springs, which owns its name to the peach trees that historically grew at nearby springs. The closest full-service community is Kingman, Arizona located 55 miles west of Peach Springs on historic Route 66 . Peach Springs was the inspiration for the fictional Radiator Springs in the animated Pixar movie Cars.
There is no casino gaming on the Hualapai Reservation. Tribal administration, public schools, and state/federal government provide the bulk of current full-time employment. The principal economic activities are tourism, cattle ranching, and arts and crafts.
An outdoorsman's paradise, the reservation is rich in hunting, fishing, and river rafting opportunities. The tribe sells guided big-game hunting permits for desert bighorn sheep, trophy elk, antelope, and mountain lion. The Hualapai River Runners, the only Indian-owned and operated river rafting company on the Colorado River, offers one and two-day trips.
Another tribal enterprise is Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai reservation at the west rim of the Grand Canyon. Offering an alternative to the Grand Canyon National Park, the enterprise offers tour packages that can include spectacular views from the Skywalk (a glass bridge that enables visitors to walk beyond the rim of the Grand Canyon at 4,000 feet above the Colorado River), helicopter and boat tours, and other excursions on the reservation.
As a sovereign Indian nation, the Tribe is governed by an executive and judicial branch. The executive branch is composed of a nine-member Tribal Council, which includes a chairperson and vice-chairperson. Council members are elected to office by Tribal members and serve 4-year terms. The Council oversees twelve administrative departments. The judicial branch of government consists of a Tribal Court and a Court of Appeals. Judges are appointed by the Tribal Council for two-year terms. The Courts have jurisdiction over all cases and controversies within the jurisdiction of the Tribe by virtue of the Tribe's inherent sovereignty or which may be vested in tribal courts by federal law.
The Hualapai Tribal Nation is a member tribe of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), the Council of Energy Resource Tribes (CERT), the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA),and the Arizona Indian Gaming Association (AIGA).

The Hualapai, meaning People of The Tall Pines, are native people of the Southwest. Traditionally hunter-gatherers, they inhabited an area of more than 5 million acres. Their homeland stretched from the Grand Canyon southward to the Santa Maria River and from the Black Mountains eastward to the pine forests of the San Francisco peaks. Today, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, created in 1883, is nearly 1,000,000 acres including 108 miles of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon. There are approximately 2,100 enrolled members of the Hualapai Tribe and nearly half live in Peach Springs, the capital of the Hualapai Indian Reservation on Historic Route 66. Years of social and economic hardship led Hualapai Leaders to take measures that would lead to an independent future for their future generations. As a result, the Hualapai decided to open their land to visitors in 1988 creating Grand Canyon West as a tourism destination. Currently, multiple improvements including a Boys and Girls Club facility, a Head Start facility, and a Social Services building have been built in Peach Springs. Many more projects are planned for the future, all made possible by Hualapai Tourism.

Warm Springs, Nevada - next gas 111 miles! (178 kilometres)
Warm Springs, Nevada is located at the intersection of U.S. Route 6 and state Highway 375 - about 355 kilometres (220 miles) northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. There was open (and running) irrigation ditch or stream on the other side of the fence that I couldn't get close enough to for a photograph or recording...

Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Spanish: Gran Cañón), is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet or 1,800 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests that the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.
