The truly excellent scenery of this most beautiful quarry in the area probably captivates every visitor.

I'm lucky enough to live a few miles from the flooded quarries of Great and Small America. I know their surroundings quite well and I have to say that the mainly well-known Great America is a lure for many tourists. How many times you can not miss the buses that are nearby. Of course, the place is beautiful, it has its charm, but it is a lot of people's access, from garbage on the ground, to bathing in a flooded quarry, to unhealthy people walking around and parking their cars on that unclear road. Location but picturesque.

The truly excellent scenery of this most beautiful quarry in the area probably captivates every visitor. The main tunnel to the quarry is long-term closed, apparently for safety reasons, because the walls of the quarry are slowly glowing and there is a risk of landslides falling down the road in the quarry. Still, this quarry will be overwhelmed by its size and depth.

An incredible number of people (perhaps half of all sorts of foreigners), the weekend just like the Wenceslas. Unfortunately, there are also many garbage and quite neglected surroundings. The beautiful quarries themselves, we most liked Mexico. It is worth going to Little America.

Even on a weekday much tourists. Parking right next to the quarry. From the parking lot it does not matter which direction you go-it just bypasses the quarry. Beautiful views, but it should wait until a vacancy occurs. If someone wants to see a bit of nature and the power of the nenachodit, then perfect. In summer, the parking lot can also buy water and iced coffee. Road to Little America leads piece along the way.

Super magical affair created "by human hands." Who has not seen with his own eyes, he believes. Photos tell the truth, in fact it's much nicer. Perfect trail for tourists around (above) - a big thanks to the owner of the quarry. In some places it is already damaged and the fence has to be careful, especially with children. It is a shame that you can not legally come down to the water. On the other hand, then it would not even accidentally wilderness and picturesque scenery would quickly took his.

A beautiful place that is worth a visit. A nice demonstration of how the nature of time and consult with a brutal crackdown, due to human activities.
Unfortunately you can not legally get down. But the reasons are understandable (nature protection, security). Although it's not what it used to be, but a walk around this quarry is still somewhat magical, go to the less-known quarries farther into the woods, like the Southern Cross and Canada, it will surely be a pleasant discovery of other places around corporate America.

Lom Great America is especially in nice weather, a popular tourist destination. From a small parking lot to get to the first lookout for a few minutes, but if you want to have a really nice view worth a walk (about 20 minutes) to the other side of the quarry. From here you can continue to walk so. "Little America". The whole walk is the least demanding and will not take you more than an hour, but in case of rainy weather the road very slippery and relatively dangerous, I had the opportunity to personally meet :).
