点评:I really don’t know how to fully convey our extraordinary experience with Leander Staley and our five-hour odyssey through Canyon de Chelly. We could easily have spent another five hours with him—and still wanted more.
Leander catered to our particular interests, as he will do with you, sharing stories and his vast knowledge of Navajo, Anasazi, ancient Puebloan, Hopi, and other Native American peoples’ history, along with the canyon’s geography and more recent history. More than that, he brought the canyon to life in a way that made it feel personal, not just historical. It felt less like a tour and more like an invitation into a deeper understanding of the canyon.
Leander is the great-grandson of Chauncey Neboyia, who worked for over 60 years with the National Park Service as an archaeologist, consultant, interpreter, tour guide, and narrator for major film companies. It’s clear that Chauncey’s legacy lives on through Leander and Beauty Way Jeep Tours.
When we return to Canyon de Chelly, we will absolutely book another tour with Beauty Way.
翻译:我真的不知道该如何才能充分描述我们与利安德·斯泰利 (Leander Staley) 一起度过的非凡经历,以及我们在切利峡谷 (Canyon de Chelly) 长达五个小时的奇妙旅程。我们真想再和他待上五个小时——而且仍然意犹未尽。
利安德非常贴心地照顾到我们的兴趣,就像他对待你们一样,他与我们分享了关于纳瓦霍族、阿纳萨齐族、古代普韦布洛人、霍皮族以及其他美洲原住民的历史故事和渊博知识,以及峡谷的地理环境和近代历史。更重要的是,他以一种生动的方式将峡谷带入人们的生活,让我们感受到它不仅仅是历史的厚重,更是一次深入探索峡谷的邀请。这与其说是一次旅行,不如说是一次邀请,邀请我们去更深入地了解峡谷。
利安德是昌西·内博亚 (Chauncey Neboyia) 的曾孙。昌西曾在国家公园管理局工作超过 60 年,担任过考古学家、顾问、讲解员、导游,以及各大电影公司的旁白。显然,昌西的遗志通过利安德和“美丽之路吉普车之旅”(Beauty Way Jeep Tours) 得以传承。
当我们再次回到切利峡谷时,我们一定会再次预订 Beauty Way 的旅行团。
