点评:It's hard to put into words the amount of beauty that is contained within this park. My wife and I were lucky to be able to come here late last July and it was truly one of the best places we've ever visited. We stayed at a fantastic B&B in Columbia Falls and it was an easy drive from there to the park (only about 20 minutes). We spent 2 days in the park as we were on a road trip and we didn't have vehicle reservations for the first morning, so we decided to drive along the southern edge of the park and then up the eastern edge to enter at the St. Mary's area. This was very fun and the whole drive was very scenic, so I definitely recommend that if you miss out on reservations. The advantage was that we were driving back to our hotel when we got to the Going to the Sun Road, so it was a nice way to make sure we still had time to find a place for dinner after the park.
St. Mary is a beautiful area and it's so very picturesque. We did a short hike to Virginia Falls and that was very fun, though it's mostly exposed, so make sure you have good sun protection on a hot summer day. We loved being able to see all the gorgeous sites along the Going to the Sun road and it's truly a drive that you have to experience once in your life. We also had the good fortune to find a parking spot near the Avalanche Lake Trail (very, very popular, so make sure you're here early) and this was one of our favorite hikes that we've ever done; the spectacular view of Avalanche Lake is truly worth the 5-6 mile roundtrip hike.
We realized later that we could have spent our entire vacation exploring Glacier National Park and it's 100% a place that we will visit again in the future. It's just the best!
翻译:很难用语言来形容这个公园所蕴藏的美丽。我和我的妻子很幸运能够在去年七月底来到这里,这确实是我们访问过的最好的地方之一。我们住在哥伦比亚瀑布的一家很棒的 B&B 旅馆,从那里开车到公园很方便(只需大约 20 分钟)。我们在公园里待了两天,因为我们是公路旅行,而且第一天早上没有预订车辆,所以我们决定沿着公园的南边开车,然后沿着东边行驶,进入圣.玛丽的区。这非常有趣,整个车程非常风景,所以如果你错过了预订,我绝对推荐你来这里。好处是,当我们到达去太阳路时,我们就开车回酒店了,所以这是一个很好的方法,可以确保我们在公园结束后还有时间找地方吃晚饭。
圣玛丽是一个美丽的地区,风景如画。我们短途徒步前往弗吉尼亚瀑布,非常有趣,尽管大部分地方都暴露在外,所以请确保在炎热的夏日做好防晒措施。我们很高兴能够看到“走向太阳”公路沿线的所有美丽景点,这确实是您一生中必须经历一次的驾车体验。我们还很幸运地在雪崩湖步道附近找到了一个停车位(非常非常受欢迎,所以一定要早点到),这是我们做过的最喜欢的徒步旅行之一;雪崩湖的壮丽景色确实值得 5 至 6 英里的往返徒步旅行。
后来我们意识到,我们本可以用整个假期来探索冰川国家公园,而且它 100% 是我们将来会再次访问的地方。这只是最好的!
