点评:Our home is about 25 miles away from Saguaro National Park West so it is one of our favorite places to take guests especially if they have limited time. The drive to the park a will quickly surround you with Saguaros, other cacti and desert plants. There are photo op vistas and trail heads you can explore before you get to the visitor center. We always like to stop at the Discovery Trail also before going to the visitor center. There is limited pull off parking near the entrance to the trail. The trail itself is a paved loop rekatively flat and easy to negotiate. We have even brought guests there who had mobility isssues. There are shaded benches scatter along the trail. The trail provides a number of informational signs that describe the pkants and animals in this desert environment. The trail allows you to walk among the saguaros and other plants. You can get up close to examine the plants and take photographs. You can spend as long as you want there though an hour will give you a good experience. It is just short drive to the Red Hills Visitor Center. There is additional free parking at the center. It houses clean restrooms and a water filling station. There are addditional imformational displays and artifacts at the visitor center. You can watch an inspirational film about the park. The gift shop has an extensive inventory of national park and southwest souveniers. Helpful staff are on site. Your senior park pass covers your fees. There is a great backdrop for photographs at the center.
翻译:我们家距离萨瓜罗国家公园西侧约25英里,因此这里是我们最喜欢带客人去的地方之一,尤其适合时间有限的客人。驱车前往公园的途中,您会很快被萨瓜罗仙人掌、其他仙人掌和沙漠植物所环绕。在到达游客中心之前,您可以欣赏到一些适合拍照的景色,并探索一些步道起点。我们总是喜欢在前往游客中心之前先去探索步道(Discovery Trail)。步道入口附近有少量停车位。步道本身是一条铺设好的环形步道,相对平坦,易于行走。我们甚至带过行动不便的客人来这里。步道沿途散布着一些带遮荫的长椅。步道沿途设有许多信息牌,介绍这片沙漠环境中的植物和动物。您可以沿着步道漫步于萨瓜罗仙人掌和其他植物之间。您可以近距离观察植物并拍照。您可以随意停留,但一个小时就能让您获得不错的体验。前往红山游客中心(Red Hills Visitor Center)只需很短的车程。游客中心设有额外的免费停车场。这里有干净的洗手间和饮水站。游客中心还设有信息展示和文物陈列。您可以观看一部关于公园的励志影片。礼品店出售种类繁多的国家公园和美国西南部纪念品。工作人员随时为您提供帮助。您的老年人公园通行证可以免除所有费用。游客中心附近还有绝佳的拍照背景。
