点评:Miners Castle is easily one of the most iconic natural landmarks in the entire Upper Peninsula, and quite possibly the entire country. This is a must if you visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. You can view this beautiful pinnacle from two different spots: the upper overlook (the distant view) and the lower overlook (the closeup view).
The upper overlook is where you're going to get the best photos, and is the most handicap-friendly. Getting to the lower overlook, however, requires a bit more walking; you have to go down a steep embankment and getting back up again can be somewhat strenuous, but it's still very much worth it if you can handle the extra exercise.
The parking lot is right next to the two viewing spots, so you do not have to walk far at all. They also have restrooms conveniently located next to the parking lot and adjacent to the visitor center (they are actual restrooms, not portable ones).
Additionally, if you're hiking the North Country Trail, it passes right through here.
You absolutely owe it to yourself to spend about 30 to 45 minutes checking out this epic and scenic spot!
翻译:矿工城堡绝对是整个上半岛乃至整个美国最具标志性的自然地标之一。如果你要游览画岩国家湖岸公园,这里绝对不容错过。你可以从两个不同的地点观赏这座美丽的岩峰:上方观景台(远观视角)和下方观景台(近景视角)。
上方观景台是拍摄最佳照片的地点,对残障人士也最为友好。不过,要前往下方观景台则……需要多走一点路;你得走下陡峭的堤坝,再爬上来则有些吃力,但如果你能承受这种额外的运动量,那绝对是值得的。
停车场就在两个观景台旁边,所以根本不用走远。停车场附近还有洗手间,就在游客中心旁边(这些是固定安装的洗手间,不是移动式厕所)。
另外,如果你正在徒步北国小径的话,。它就从这里穿过。
你绝对应该花30到45分钟时间来游览这个绝美又富有诗意的景点!
