点评:The National Park Service describes Greenbelt Park as "a hidden jewel located just outside of Washington, DC" that "provides a sylvan escape from the busy city life where you can camp, hike, and enjoy time with friends and family." Perhaps this proximity to the crowded, bustling national capital is the key to Greenbelt Park's appeal, because otherwise, it is a pleasant but rather unexceptional forest, with respect to terrain, scenery, or wildlife. Moreover, I daresay the NPS, given its strict criteria for park recognition otherwise, would not have given this patch so much as a second glance, if it were located in any other region of the country. Drive somewhat further from the District, for example, and the many splendors of the Appalachians await. If you are here anyway, the trails are numerous and pleasant enough. But I have seen many a state and even local park that could outmatch this one.
翻译:国家公园管理局将 Greenbelt 公园描述为“位于华盛顿特区外的一颗隐藏的宝石”,“为您提供远离繁忙城市生活的森林避风港,您可以在这里露营、远足并与朋友和家人共度时光。”也许靠近拥挤、繁华的国家首都是绿带公园吸引人的关键,因为除此之外,就地形、风景或野生动物而言,它是一片宜人但相当普通的森林。此外,我敢说,如果 NPS 位于该国的任何其他地区,那么考虑到其严格的公园识别标准,它不会再看一眼。例如,从该地区驱车稍远一些,阿巴拉契亚山脉的许多壮丽景色就在等待着您。如果您无论如何都在这里,那么小径很多而且令人愉快。但我见过许多州甚至地方公园都可以胜过这个公园。
