A beautiful National Park with Painted Desert badlands and Rainbow Forest Museum
Petrified Forest National Park的点评
点评:The Petrified Forest National Park is best visited by driving either from South to North, or from North to South, between the Painted Desert Visitor Center at North (near highway 40) or the Rainbow Forest Museum at the South (near route 180). Note that the park route at Rainbow Forest Museum runs through the parking lot at the Rainbow Forest.
The park features a number of overlook point (Painted Desert Inn, Hozho Point, Pintado Point) showing great painted desert view at North; A Newspaper Rock that see over 650 Petroglyphs and a Blue Mesa showing colorful geology in the middle; and a great Paleontological Museum at Rainbow Forest in the South. The agate house trail brings you to an ancient house constructed by the petrified wood and is super interesting. The park is definitely worth a day trip.
翻译:游览石化森林国家公园的最佳方式是从南向北或从北向南自驾,路线是从北部的彩绘沙漠游客中心(靠近40号公路)到南部的彩虹森林博物馆(靠近180号公路)。请注意,彩虹森林博物馆的公园路线会穿过彩虹森林的停车场。
公园内设有多个观景点(彩绘沙漠旅馆、霍佐角、品塔多角),在北部可以欣赏到壮丽的彩绘沙漠景色;公园中央有一块报纸岩,上面有超过650幅岩画;还有一块蓝台地,展现了色彩斑斓的地质景观;南部的彩虹森林内则有一座很棒的古生物博物馆。玛瑙屋步道将带您参观一座由石化木建造的古老房屋,非常有趣。石化森林国家公园绝对值得您安排一日游。
