Blue Canyon and Taawa Petroglyphs - THESE TOURS ARE A MUST!
Hopi Tours的点评
点评：Two of us old college roommates were lucky enough to take a combination tour with Hopi guide, Micah Loma'omvaya, to Blue Canyon and the Taawa petroglyphs. A guide is required. Micah is an anthropologist, archaeologist, priest, realty officer and an all around smart, friendly, professional, funny, and terrific guide. We had a great time. Micah’s patience and willingness to share his deep knowledge of the land, and history, culture, and language of the Hopi people was so appreciated. He shared the co-written publication “Sustaining Agriculture on the Hopi Reservation” that was very helpful. Our tour lasted about 6 hours, started and ended at the Hopi Cultural Center, but it seemed a lot shorter it was so amazing. The first stop was Blue Canyon. Our photos of its uniqueness did not do it justice. I have been to the Badlands, Bryce, Bisti Wilderness and Kasha-Katuwe, and none of them had the surreal shapes and colors of the rock formations with their “this can’t be real” white lines and stripes running across, through, around and down into the ground. It was mind-blowing in a Mother Earth meets Jackson Pollack meets Meow Wolf kind of way. The second part of the tour was to the sacred Taawa petroglyphs in a horseshoe shaped site in a wash surrounded by a high cliff. Micah patiently went deep into an explanation of their meanings. He pointed out the summer and winter solstice symbols, creation and migration stories, and numerous other symbols. It was extraordinary and I doubt we will ever look at any petroglyphs the same way again.
I almost didn’t want to write this review because the more folks found out about Blue Canyon and Taawa, the more they would visit it, but then decided that if the Hopi were willing to “share” then it was okay. Thank you Micah!

翻译：我们两个大学室友很幸运地参加了霍皮族导游Micah Loma'omvaya的蓝峡谷和塔瓦岩画组合游。需要导游。Micah是一位人类学家、考古学家、牧师、房地产经纪人，同时也是一位聪明、友好、专业、风趣、非常棒的导游。我们玩得很开心。Micah非常耐心，并且乐于分享他对霍皮族土地、历史、文化和语言的深刻理解，这让我们非常感激。他还分享了与人合著的《霍皮族保留地的可持续农业》一书，这本书非常有帮助。我们的行程持续了大约6个小时，从霍皮族文化中心开始，也从那里结束，但感觉时间短了很多，因为那里的景色太美了。第一站是蓝峡谷。我们拍的照片并没有展现出它的独特之处。我去过恶地、布莱斯峡谷、比斯蒂荒野和卡莎-卡图韦，但它们都没有像这些岩层那样拥有如此奇异的形状和色彩，以及那些“这不可能是真的”的白色线条和条纹，它们横穿、穿过、环绕并深入地下。这令人叹为观止，就像大地母亲与杰克逊·波洛克和喵喵狼的相遇。旅程的第二部分是前往神圣的塔瓦岩画，它们位于一处马蹄形的冲积平原上，周围环绕着高耸的悬崖。迈卡耐心地深入讲解了这些岩画的含义。他指出了夏至和冬至的象征、创世和迁徙的故事，以及许多其他符号。这真是太特别了，我怀疑我们以后再也不会用同样的眼光看待任何岩画了。
我几乎不想写这篇评论，因为越多的人了解蓝峡谷和塔瓦，就越会去参观，但后来我决定，如果霍皮族人愿意“分享”，那就没问题。谢谢你，迈卡！
