点评:We went for the petroglyphs and were blown away! We’ve travelled to several places in the US to see petroglyphs & pictographs and Nine Mile Canyon is very, very special.
First, Sheryl & Joe are incredible guides- knowledgeable, friendly, flexible & safe. We’d highly recommend hiring them for a day.
What makes Nine Mile so spectacular is the petroglyphs are in terrific condition (there’s always some vandalism), most are easily accessible from the road and the sheer concentration of them. There are SO MANY in such a small area.
Yes, there is a book you can get that shows you where some of the major sites are, but Sheryl & Joe showed us many that weren’t listed there (and also added in canyon history and family stories as well).
We stayed at the Nine Mile Ranch campground in our travel trailer for 2 nights (Site C). Although the site was somewhat uneven, it was wonderfully quiet.
If you are interested in pictographs, ancestral art, history, or just have a curious mind, we cannot recommend this highly enough. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
翻译:我们去看了岩画,被震撼了!我们去过美国的几个地方看岩画和象形文字,九英里峡谷非常非常特别。
首先,Sheryl 和 Joe 是非常棒的导游——知识渊博、友好、灵活且安全。我们强烈建议您聘请他们一天。
九英里峡谷之所以如此壮观,是因为岩画保存完好(总会有一些破坏行为),大多数都可以通过公路轻松到达,而且岩画非常集中。在这么小的区域里有这么多岩画。
是的,你可以买到一本书,上面会告诉你一些主要景点的位置,但 Sheryl 和 Joe 向我们展示了许多没有列出的景点(还添加了峡谷历史和家庭故事)。
我们在九英里牧场露营地的旅行拖车里住了 2 晚(C 号营地)。虽然这个地方有点不平坦,但却非常安静。
如果您对象形文字、祖先艺术、历史感兴趣,或者只是有好奇心,我们强烈推荐您来这里。这是一次千载难逢的体验!
