Mesa Verde National Park的点评

点评：My sister and I went on a road trip to Western Colorado in Northern New Mexico in July. Very hot in those areas, but we started out with a Faithful Workouts retreat in Evergreen, CO so that’s why we went then. Mesa Verde national Park is huge! You’ll be driving a lot, but the scenery is amazing. There is a wonderful visitor center that you must stop at first, and they have water and bathrooms. Speak to the Rangers to plan out what you’re gonna do. Once you get the map of the place, you can decide how you want to proceed. We went on the scenic Drive and headed straight to the far View area where we turned right onto the Wetherill Mesa Road and did the Nordenskiold hike, so we could beat the heat later in the day. This hike gave us a real good idea of the scenery and lay of the land, including flora that burned from the big fire a few years ago. We also saw some cliff dwellings across canyons.In fact, there are signs all along the roads in the park that show where a fire was in the year which we thought was interesting to know. Be prepared for hilly and curvy roads on the drive in places. After we did this hike, we proceeded to drive around that Mesa and stop at places. Then we drove back to the Far View area and took a right and went to the Chapin Mesa area. This is where the Mesa Verde museum is, which is very interesting and we were supposed to get to do the Cliff Palace tour, but on that particular day we had booked tickets, it was closed due to rabid bats. So we spent more time stopping at the different places in that Mesa area. Of note if you drive to and stop at the Sun temple overlook, you will have a great shot across the canyon of the Cliff Palace. On this Mesa loop, there are examples of pit houses that you actually go into and read about. Then we drove back to the Far View area and took a right and proceeded on to drive and stop at the different overlook points on the main drag before getting back to the visitor center. This took us all day. It’s so worth it, so interesting, and so desertly beautiful.

翻译：七月份，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。那些地区非常炎热，但我们最初是去参加在科罗拉多州埃弗格林举办的Faithful Workouts健身静修营，所以才选了那个时候出发。梅萨维德国家公园的面积超大！虽然需要开车很久，但沿途的风景美不胜收。那里有一个很棒的游客中心，一定要先去那里，那里有饮用水和洗手间。可以向管理员咨询以规划行程。拿到公园地图后，你可以决定自己想如何继续。我们沿着风景优美的道路前行，直接前往远眺区，然后右转进入韦瑟里尔梅萨路，进行了诺登斯克尔德徒步之旅，这样就能避开当天晚些时候的炎热天气。这次徒步让我们对沿途的风景与地形有了真切的了解，也看到了几年前那场大火中被烧毁的植被。我们还在峡谷对面看到了一些悬崖上的古人居所。事实上……公园里的道路两旁到处都有指示牌，上面标注着过去发生过火灾的地点，我们认为这些信息很有参考价值。在行车过程中，请做好心理准备，因为有些路段比较多山且蜿蜒曲折。完成徒步后，我们开车绕着那片台地行驶，并在多处停留。随后我们返回Far View地区，右转前往Chapin Mesa区域。梅萨维德博物馆就位于此处，非常值得一逛；我们原本还计划参观悬崖宫殿呢。不过就在我们预定好门票的那天，那里因为有患狂犬病的蝙蝠而闭门谢客。因此，我们便花更多时间游览梅萨地区的各个景点。值得一提的是，如果你开车前往太阳神庙观景台并停下车来，就能从峡谷对面拍到悬崖宫殿的绝佳照片。在这条梅萨环线沿途，还有那些可以进入内部参观并了解相关介绍的土坑屋实例。随后我们驱车返回Far View地区，右转后沿着主干道行驶，沿途在多个观景台停留，最后才回到游客中心。这一整天我们都花在了这上面。这一切都非常值得——既有趣又充满了沙漠特有的美景。
