Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Die Vallei van die Gode is 'n skilderagtige sandsteenvallei naby Mexican Hat in San Juan-county van suidoostelike Utah, Verenigde State. Hierdie voormalige gedeelte van die Nasionale Bears Ears-monument is noord van Monumentvallei oorkant die San Juanrivier geleë. Dit het rotsformasies soortgelyk aan dié van Monumentvallei, met hoë, rooibruin tafelkoppe, skore, rotstorings en sampioenrotse — oorblyfsels van 'n antieke landskap.
Die Vallei van die Gode kan deur middel van 'n 17 myl (27 km) grondpad (San Juan-countyweg 242), wat om die formasies kronkel, besigtig word. Die pad is ten dele taamlik steil en stamperig, maar is in droë weer vir gewone voertuie begaanbaar. Die westelike punt sluit by Utah-staatroete 261 aan, kort voor dit 1 200 voet (370 m) teen Sedermesa te Moki Dugweg uitklim, terwyl die oostelike punt nege myl (14 km) buite die dorp Mexican Hat langs Amerikaanse Roete 163 begin, en dan noordwaarts oor 'n aanvanklik plat en oop landskap loop terwyl dit die loop van 'n seisoenale spoelsloot, Lime Creek, volg voordat dit weswaarts na die skore en rotskruine uitswenk. Benewens die grondpad is die gebied ook met tweespoorpaadjies oortrek. Die vallei is as agtergrond vir westerse flieks, advertensies en televisieprogramme gebruik, insluitend twee episodes van die BBC-wetenskapfiksiereeks Doctor Who, naamlik "The Impossible Astronaut" en "Day of the Moon", waarvan die tweede 'n eksplisiete op- skermverwysing na die verfilmingslokaal insluit. Weens 'n in-episode vermelding word dikwels foutiewelik aanvaar dat die 1984-1987 CBS TV-program Airwolf in die Vallei van die Gode verfilm is — dit is in werklikheid te Monumentvallei verfilm.Bron: Wikipedia English: The Valley of the Gods is a scenic sandstone valley near Mexican Hat in San Juan County, southeastern Utah, United States. Formerly part of Bears Ears National Monument, Valley of the Gods is located north of Monument Valley across the San Juan River and has rock formations similar to those in Monument Valley with tall, reddish brown mesas, buttes, towers and mushroom rocks—remnants of an ancient landscape.
The Valley of the Gods may be toured via a 17-mile (27 km) gravel road (San Juan County Road 242) that winds around the formations. The road is rather steep and bumpy in parts but is passable by non-four-wheel drive vehicles in dry weather. The western end joins Utah State Route 261 shortly before its 1,200-foot (370 m) ascent up Cedar Mesa at Moki Dugway, while the eastern end starts nine miles (14 km) from the town of Mexican Hat along U.S. Route 163 and heads north, initially crossing flat, open land and following the course of Lime Creek, a seasonal wash, before turning west toward the buttes and pinnacles. In addition to the gravel road, the area is also crisscrossed by off-road dirt trails. The valley has been used as the backdrop for western movies, commercials and television shows including two episodes of the BBC science fiction show Doctor Who: "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon", the second of which includes an explicit on-screen reference to the filming location. The 1984-1987 CBS TV show Airwolf is often mistakenly identified as being filmed in Valley of the Gods due to an in-episode mention but was filmed in Monument Valley Source: Wikipedia |
