点评:Read about this road on a friend’s travel link. He had been on it years ago and decided to add this to our itinerary. We started out on the Montrose end, south of Ridgway. It was not too bad at first but then it got a little dicey where vehicle wheels had made deep ruts in the mud which then dried. Some water puddles in spots. Rocky and gravel in others. We encountered a lot of vehicles to me. A convoy of jeeps and two trucks on their own trips, it made for a dusty drive and we held off so we could see the view without the dust clouds blocking it. And it was narrow in spots where if a vehicle was coming from the other direction we would have been stuck.
Steep grades too.
The positives? It was like a fairy land in spots. With fall leaves softly falling in the wind and the aspens pressing in on both sides. Then the dark green pines in forbidding rows. The overlooks with breathtaking scenery of colors - browns, greens and yellows. Houses here and there. We stopped and accidentally found the property where scenes from True Grit had been filmed. I was constantly charmed by the lovely magical feel of the woods. And then scared at the drive itself. It felt like woods where elves live. Then we were through to the Telluride side. Such an amazing experience. Im glad he’s such a great driver and navigated us safely on the route. I’ll never forget that gorgeous drive.
翻译:在朋友的旅行链接上读到这条路。几年前他就参加了,并决定将其添加到我们的行程中。我们从 Ridgway 以南的 Montrose end 开始。起初并不太糟糕,但后来它变得有点冒险,因为车轮在泥泞中留下了很深的车辙,然后泥浆变干了。一些地方有水坑。岩石和砾石在其他人。我们遇到了很多车辆给我。一队吉普车和两辆卡车在各自的行程中行驶,路上尘土飞扬,我们推迟了行程,这样我们就可以在没有尘云阻挡的情况下看到风景。如果车辆从另一个方向驶来,我们就会被困在狭窄的地方。
成绩也很陡。
积极因素?处处宛如仙境。秋叶在风中轻轻飘落,两侧的白杨树压得很紧。然后是成排成排的深绿色松树。俯瞰着令人叹为观止的色彩风景——棕色、绿色和黄色。到处都是房子。我们停了下来,无意中发现了拍摄 True Grit 场景的地方。我一直被树林可爱的神奇感觉所吸引。然后对驱动器本身感到害怕。感觉就像精灵居住的树林。然后我们到达了特柳赖德一侧。如此美妙的体验。我很高兴他是一位出色的司机,并在路线上安全地为我们导航。我永远不会忘记那次华丽的驾驶。
