点评:If you are expecting a "grand National Park" like Yellowstone or Glacier, you will be highly disappointed. We visited Cuyahoga Valley NP so I could get the passport stamp, photo of the NP sign, and be able to check this NP off our list since we were only 2 hours away. We had a beautiful Sunday afternoon and visited Brandywine Falls, which was 1 of 2 places I had on my list to see. The falls were beautiful and while not terribly overcrowded, people were always arriving and leaving. Parking was at a premium and there are new wooden steps and a boardwalk leading down to the falls.
Monday was a total opposite. Parking at Boston Mill Visitor Center only had a few cars. Sunday afternoon every spot was taken and cars were circling for spots.
Highly recommend the GuideAlong app. We were able to see 3 different waterfalls on Monday that we probably wouldn't have driven to otherwise . All were very short walks from the parking area and if you're visiting, I highly recommend taking the time to see them. (Each waterfall was listed on the map along with the address that we obtained from the Ranger at Boston Mill VC). This NP is mixed among residential areas and towns and we spent only about 4 or 5 hours total here.
翻译:如果你期待的是像黄石或冰川国家公园那样的“宏伟国家公园”,那你肯定会非常失望。我们去库亚霍加谷国家公园是为了盖护照章、拍国家公园标志的照片,也为了能把这个离家只有两小时车程的公园从我们的旅行清单上划掉。那天下午阳光明媚,我们去了白兰地瀑布,这是我计划去的两个地方之一。瀑布很美,虽然不算特别拥挤,但人来人往络绎不绝。停车位非常紧张,而且瀑布下方新建了木质台阶和木栈道。
周一的情况则截然不同。波士顿磨坊游客中心的停车场只有几辆车。而周日下午,每个车位都满了,车辆只能绕圈寻找空位。
强烈推荐GuideAlong这款App。周一我们用它看到了三个不同的瀑布,如果没有它,我们可能根本不会开车去。所有瀑布都离停车场很近,步行即可到达。如果你也来这里,我强烈建议你抽出时间去看看。 (地图上标出了每个瀑布的位置以及我们从波士顿磨坊游客中心的护林员那里获得的地址)。这个国家公园位于居民区和城镇之间,我们总共只在这里待了大约4到5个小时。
