Excellent trail leading up to the viewpoint with incredible 360 degrees view of Bend and beyond
Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint的点评
点评:We had wanted to drive the short distance up to the view point, however, it was still considered winter season, so the road was still closed. Ended up parking at the trail head parking lot (very spacious), and walked up the nicely maintained nature trail all the way to the top. It was about 1 miles, with moderate elevation gain.
Once at the view point, we enjoyed the amazing 360 degrees of Bend, OR It was a very clear and blue sky day, so we saw all the snow capped peaks. There is a identifier in the center, be sure to enjoy that so you could properly identify all the mountains.
Very nicely done and clean. On our way down, we took the paved road back to the parking lot. It is a different view, easier than the rocky/gravely nature trail.
翻译:我们原本想开车去观景点,路程很短,但是当时还是冬季,所以路仍然封闭。最后我们把车停在了步道起点停车场(非常宽敞),然后沿着维护良好的自然步道一路走到山顶。全程大约1英里,海拔略有上升。
到达观景点后,我们欣赏到了俄勒冈州本德市令人惊叹的360度全景。那天天空晴朗湛蓝,所以我们看到了所有白雪皑皑的山峰。观景点中央有一个标识牌,一定要仔细查看,以便正确识别每座山峰。
观景点维护得很好,也很干净。下山的时候,我们沿着铺好的公路返回停车场。这条路的景色和之前的碎石路不一样,也更轻松。
