点评:My wife and I were on a one-week trip to Glacier National Park and a friend recommended that we visit the Bison Range on the Flathead Reservation. The Range was about ninety minutes south of our location, so we took a day to visit. It was so worth it. First, the drive down took us along the eastern side of Flathead Lake, a stunning natural lake and very large. Upon arrival, we paid a $20 admission fee per car. and stopped at the visitor center to get some additional information on where the bison might be in the range. The person there was very helpful and showed us on the map where the bison herds had been the previous day. So off we went. It is a car ride over a gravel/macadam road. If you take the full driving tour (2 roads), it should take you about 3 hours depending on many stops. There are two short trails along the way to get a better look at the range. We saw some Bison up on a hill almost as soon as we started. Too far away for a good look. As we continued to slowly drive the road, we saw other cars stopping and we got an up-close view of one bison hanging out. More bison were just above the one up on a hill. Finally, we moved on and continued to spot bison throughout the range. Also, saw four prong horn antelope a distance away. We walked both trails both less than a mile. Great views of the area. After about two and a half hours of driving and looking, we came across over one hundred bison hanging close to the road. They were literally crossing the street between cars. It was an awesome sight and put our trip to the Bison Range over the top. We drove, stopped, and hiked for almost 4 hours before leaving the range. It was a great day.
翻译:我和妻子进行了一次为期一周的冰川国家公园之旅,一位朋友建议我们去弗拉特黑德印第安人保留地上的野牛保护区看看。该保护区位于我们所在位置以南约90分钟车程处,于是我们专门抽出一天时间去游览。这次出行绝对物有所值。首先,沿途的车程带我们经过了弗拉特黑德湖的东岸,那是一个景色绝美且极为广阔的天然湖泊。到达后,我们按每辆车支付了20美元的入场费。我们在游客中心稍作停留,以获取有关野牛可能出没地点的更多信息。那里的工作人员非常热心,还在地图上指给我们看前一天野牛群出现的位置。于是我们便出发了。这段路程需要开车沿着碎石路/柏油路行驶。如果走完两条完整的游览路线,根据停留次数不同,大约需要3个小时。沿途还有两条短途步道,可以让人更仔细地观察这片区域。我们刚出发就看到有几头野牛在山上。不过距离太远,看不清楚。随着我们沿着道路缓缓前行,我们看到其他车辆也停了下来,于是得以近距离观察到一头正在闲逛的野牛。在山上那头野牛的上方还有更多的野牛。最后我们继续前行,在整个区域内都看到了不少野牛。此外,我们还在远处看到了四角羚羊。我们走了两条步道,每条都不到一英里长。这一带的风景真是绝佳。经过大约两个半小时的驾驶与寻找,我们发现路边聚集着一百多头野牛。它们简直就是在车流中穿行而过。这一景象实在令人惊叹,也让我们的野牛保护区之旅达到了高潮。之后我们又驾车、停车并徒步了近4个小时,才离开保护区。真是美好的一天啊。
