点评:I tackled the Loop Road in early October and it was a great time to visit. My car is a Kia Rio and I read some mixed things about the road. A lot of stuff said the north side is fine but the south side was too rough for sedans. I can tell you the whole road - north to south - is perfectly fine. These are really good gravel roads. A couple spots with some chop, but nothing sustained. You can go 50 or 55 on much of the road.
As for the scenery, it's beautiful. The north side has the best viewpoints including the Kiger Gorge and the summit. The south side has your best chance to see wild horses. Once I passed the south Campground (going north to south), I saw about 30 horses in total. It seems like more hunters than tourists visit here. That's fine - this can be a secret for those that know about it. This is a wonderful long weekend if combined with hot springs and some of the other scenic attractions in the area. Check it out.
翻译:十月初我驾车走了一遍环山公路,那真是个绝佳的游览时机。我开的是起亚Rio,之前也看到过一些关于这条路的评价,褒贬不一。很多资料都说北段路况不错,但南段对于轿车来说太过颠簸。我可以负责任地告诉大家:整条路——从北到南——都状况良好。这些都是非常不错的碎石路。虽然有几处路段稍显崎岖,但都只是短距离而已。大部分路段上都能以50或55英里的时速行驶。
至于沿途风景,那真是美不胜收。北侧拥有最佳的观景点,包括基格峡谷和山顶。南侧则是观赏野马的最佳地点。我从南边的露营地经过时(由南向北行进),一共看到了约30匹马。看来来此地的猎人比游客要多。这也没关系——对于知道这个地方的人来说,这算是个秘密据点吧。如果再搭配温泉以及其他周边的景点,这将会是一个极棒的長周末。值得一去哦。
