点评:I did not have high expectations of this place as I’ve never heard of it before this trip, though wanted to visit since it is a NPS site. It exceeded my expectations and I kind of loved it even though he did not get to do everything that it had to offer.
We had a self tour of the ranch and learned about different part of it (stables, bunkhouses, saw old vehicles, blacksmith shop, etc. Got to pet some horses, help put the chickens away, and we got to practice lassoing. We were there for just about 2 ½ hours and I would have stayed longer.
I would have wanted to tour the house (we didn’t think our kids would be patient in there) and see the rest of the grounds.
The ranger working was great too. As there were no interpreters there, she told us about some of the things and as I mentioned, she let my kids help with the chickens.
A great, interesting place to stop just about at the midpoint from Bozeman to Missoula.
翻译:我对这个地方原本并没有太高期望,因为在这次旅行之前我从未听说过它,只是因为它属于国家公园管理局管辖的景点才想去看看。结果它超出了我的预期,我相当喜欢那里——尽管他没能体验完所有能玩的项目。
我们自行参观了牧场,了解了各个区域的情况:马厩、员工宿舍、古老的车辆、铁匠铺等等。我们还可以抚摸马匹、帮忙把鸡赶回鸡舍,甚至练习用套索捕猎呢。我们在那里待了大约两个半小时,其实我还想多待一会儿。
我本想参观一下房子内部(不过我们觉得孩子们没耐心待在里面),也想看看周围的园区。
负责接待的护林员也非常出色。由于现场没有翻译,她向我们介绍了很多相关情况;正如我提到的,她还允许我的孩子们帮忙照料小鸡。
从博兹曼到米苏拉的途中,这里绝对是个值得驻足参观的绝佳地点。
