    Dans cet article, un texte sur les gorges d’Ollioules écrit en 1839 par l’écrivain Victor Hugo. Dommage que la DN8 qui traverse ces gorges soit devenue aujourd’hui le « terrain de jeu » de certains motards irresponsables ! Explications et remarques après le texte de V. Hugo…

  13. The wonderful Barranco de la Luna today. A short half day trip but well worth it.
    The ravine features dramatic rock formations, lush vegetation, and a small, crystal-clear stream.

    The trail follows the ravine, with some rocky sections and shallow river crossings - adding a sense of adventure. The highlight is the "Cañón de la Luna," a narrow canyon with towering walls that feel almost otherworldly.

  20. Like a scene from "Lord of the Rings", today we enjoyed the spectacular delights of the Garganta de Cares gorge in the Picos de Europa. We missed breakfast and set off in the dark to catch the morning sun entering the gorge. Turned into a very warm hike which later needed copious amounts of cold beer in compensation.

  24. The 50 largest canyons in the USA by land area

    Bryce Canyon, Utah

    Below are the 50 largest canyons in the United States, ranked by land area. Using chat.openai.com, the list was generated and known errors were removed/corrected. *In addition, several parks containing multiple canyons, like Canyonlands, Cedar Mesa, Zion, Bryce, and Grand Staircase, it appears the figure given is for the total area of all canyons within the park.

    Also, please note the following comments provided from chat.openai.com:

    “To create the list of the largest canyons in the US by land area, I [chat.openai.com] used publicly available data sources, including topographic maps and satellite imagery, to determine the approximate boundaries of each canyon. I [chat.openai.com] then calculated the land area enclosed within these boundaries using geographic information system (GIS) software, which is commonly used for spatial analysis and mapping.

    It’s important to note that measuring the area of a canyon can be challenging, as the canyon boundaries may be irregular and difficult to define precisely. Additionally, there may be overlap between different canyons, and the boundaries of some canyons may be disputed or subject to interpretation. Therefore, the measurements provided in the list are approximate and may vary depending on the data sources and methods used.”

    Zion Canyon in Zion National Park, Utah

    Arizona and Utah lead the pack with 13 of the canyons listed either fully or partially located with those two states. Idaho and Nevada have four, while California, Colorado, and New Mexico follow with three each. The only representatives in the top 50 from east of the Mississippi River are in Alabama and Pennsylvania.

    As always, any corrections, additions, or suggestions are most welcome.

    Peace!
