点评:My sister and I went on a road trip to Western Colorado and Northern, New Mexico in July. This is one of the many amazing places wegot to visit! As national parks go, this has probably less variety, but it is just breathtakingly, beautiful and different from any thing I’ve ever . Of course we stopped at the visitor center first and talked with the Ranger about hiking and scenic drives. This was at the south rimlocation. Unfortunately, due to heavy rains in landslides, the east portal access down to the Gunnison river was closed. And we didn’t want to doany backcountry hiking, which would’ve been on the north rim. There is a scenic drive, and out and back, on the south rim, ending at the Warner point hike which we did and it was wonderful with so much scenery. Easy to moderate. It’s hot in July. We brought plenty of water. Some of the stopping points on the scenic Drive are short hikes of 100 to 300 or so yards to get to the actual site. Each site and I believe there are 13 14, was unique and worth going to. There was a rescue of a climber while we were there at one of the scenic Dr. sites There was a Ranger there who informed us of what was going on to the best of his ability. The Mesa Verde helicopter rescue crew had to fly up to assist. That was a bit exciting and we just pray for that person and anybody else involved for their safety and recovery. We stayed at an Airbnb in Montrose, Colorado only a 20 min drive away and we brought our own snacks and lunch in a cooler. There is a water fountain and bottle filling station right outside of the visitor center. Also bathrooms there and at few of the scenic drive sites. Highly recommend visiting this special and unique national Park.
翻译:7月份,我和妹妹驾车去科罗拉多州西部以及新墨西哥州北部旅行。这里就是我们所游览的众多绝美景点之一!虽然相较于其他国家公园来说,这里的景观种类可能稍显单一,但它的美丽程度实在令人惊叹,与我见过的任何地方都截然不同。当然,我们首先去了游客中心,向护林员询问了有关徒步路线和观光驾车的信息。我们当时身处南缘地区。可惜的是,由于大雨引发了山体滑坡……通往格尼森河的东侧入口已关闭。我们也不想进行任何野外徒步,那种徒步路线通常都在北缘。南缘有一条风景优美的驾车路线,可以往返游览;终点处就是沃纳角徒步道,我们走过了那段路,景色绝美,令人陶醉。这条路线难度适中、易于行走。七月份这里非常炎热,我们带了足够的水。在这条风景驾车路线上,有些停靠点需要步行100到300码左右才能到达真正的景点。每一个景点——我想大概有13到14个吧——都独具特色,值得一去。我们在那里的时候,就遇到了一次登山者救援行动。当时有一位护林员在现场,他尽其所能地向我们说明了情况。梅萨维德地区的直升机救援队也赶来协助。那一幕相当惊心动魄,我们只是默默祈祷那位登山者以及所有涉事人员都能平安无事、早日康复。我们住在蒙特罗斯的一家Airbnb民宿里。科罗拉多州仅需开车20分钟便能到达,我们用冷藏箱装了零食和午餐。游客中心外面有个饮水机和瓶装水填充站。那里以及几条观景路线上的几个地点也都设有洗手间。强烈推荐大家去参观这座独具特色的国家公园。
