点评:An amazing place. The drive out there is not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth it! Camped a couple of nights in their campgrounds. (Can be reserved online) So worth it, as the early mornings and afternoons/evening it felt like we had the park to ourselves. This place is remote, so be sure to bring supplies. (Water, snacks, etc) The nearest store - aka gas station - is an hour away. The park and all that it protects are so worth the added effort. The history, architecture, astronomy advancements, and the dark skies after dark, are to be treasured - and protected. The rangers are fantastic. They have a wealth of knowledge they are enthusiastic about sharing regarding what they know about the incredible people who built this place. Spend at least a day, and take a ranger guided tour if you can. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. This is the desert after all. Snacks go a long way, as there aren’t any restaurants/stores. The museum is very educational. If you are lucky enough to secure a camp site and can stay overnight, you are in for a dark sky treat. The Milky Way is incredibly bright in this special place. There isn’t a light polluting city anywhere near this remote area.
翻译:一个绝妙的地方。前往那里的路程对胆小的人来说有些艰难,但绝对物有所值!我们在那里的露营地住了几个晚上。(可以在线预订)真的太值了,因为清晨和傍晚时,我们感觉整个公园仿佛只属于我们一人。这个地方十分偏僻,所以一定要带上必备用品(水、零食等)。最近的商店——也就是加油站——距离这里需要一个小时的路程。不过,这片公园及其所保护的一切都值得我们付出这份努力。这里的历史与建筑也令人着迷。天文学的进步,以及夜幕降临后的暗黑天空,都值得我们珍视与保护。这里的护林员非常出色,他们乐于分享自己所了解的关于建造此地的杰出人物们的丰富知识。至少花一天时间前来游览吧,如果可以的话,务必参加由护林员带领的导览活动。记得带上帽子、防晒霜以及充足的水——毕竟这里是沙漠。由于附近没有餐馆或商店,带些零食也会大有用处。博物馆则极具教育意义。如果你幸运地抢到了露营地并能在那里过夜,那可就有权享受一片黑暗天空带来的视觉盛宴了。在这个特别的地方,银河显得格外明亮。这片偏僻的区域附近没有任何会造成光污染的城市。
