[ti:Guides No Longer Permitted on Native Area in Grand Canyon] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:00.00]Visitors to a Native American reservation's [00:03.94]famous waterfalls deep in the Grand Canyon [00:08.28]will now have to visit without professional guides. [00:13.42]An estimated 40,000 people visit the Havasupai reservation every year. [00:22.51]They come to see a series of blue-green waterfalls [00:27.08]which flow into swimming holes that stay warm year-round. [00:33.43]There are no roads to the falls. [00:36.10]The only way to arrive is by horse, helicopter or by foot. [00:41.79]The hike is long and at times dangerous. [00:45.87]Beginning in February, [00:48.90]visitors will have to find their own way down, [00:52.42]and carry their own food and belongings. [00:56.47]For years, professional guides have paid the tribe money [01:01.57]to bring visitors to the falls. [01:05.22]The tribe could not say how much money [01:08.54]it has received from guides over the years. [01:11.88]Abbie Fink is a spokeswoman for the Havasupai Tribe. [01:17.32]She told the Associated Press that tribe members [01:21.78]want to lead the visitors themselves. [01:24.48]She said, "It's returning the enterprise to the control of the tribe." [01:30.33]The tribe works on the campground and the trails [01:34.64]during the months of December and January. [01:38.35]It does not permit day visits. [01:41.27]So, visitors wanting to see the falls must stay overnight [01:47.07]at a camp site on the reservation or in the tribe's only building. [01:52.58]Rooms in the tribe's building are sold out for the rest of 2019. [01:58.88]Permits for camping were available for sale starting February 1. [02:05.04]About 300 camping permits a day are available. [02:10.08]Adam Henry is co-owner of Discovery Treks. [02:15.07]The guide company usually brings between 100 [02:19.12]and 200 visitors to the waterfalls each year. [02:22.86]Now the company will have to offer trips [02:26.62]to different places in the Grand Canyon. [02:29.21]He says the new rules do not bring good news [02:32.79]for those who wish to visit the falls. [02:35.40]Visitors will have to walk 13 kilometers down a winding trail [02:41.04]through desert before reaching the first waterfall, [02:45.14]where 600 tribe members live year-round. [02:48.62]To reach the campground with waterfalls on both ends, [02:53.03]visitors must walk another 3 kilometers down the trail. [02:57.47]"The blue-green water is what people want to see," Henry said. [03:03.32]"It's certainly a significant bummer for people [03:07.08]who aren't going to be able to get out there on their own." [03:11.16]I'm Ashley Thompson. [03:13.22]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
