点评:We visited Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve from Denver, and the drive took around four hours. The entrance fee to the national park is $25 per vehicle.
Besides the famous sand dunes, you can also visit Zapata Falls and do several hiking trails around the area.
One of the most popular things to do is hike to the highest point of the dunes, which is exactly what I did. There are quite a lot of people visiting the park, especially near the main dune area, but the landscape is still incredibly impressive because of how विशाल and unique it feels.
When we visited, it was extremely windy, and that’s definitely something to keep in mind. I highly recommend bringing a jacket or something that can also cover your ears and part of your face, because when the wind gets strong, the sand goes everywhere and can become pretty uncomfortable — and even a bit dangerous.
Still, it is absolutely worth visiting. The scenery is spectacular, completely different from anywhere else in Colorado, and incredibly photogenic.
翻译:我们从丹佛出发,驱车前往大沙丘国家公园和保护区,大约花了四个小时。国家公园的门票是每辆车25美元。
除了著名的沙丘,你还可以参观萨帕塔瀑布,并在周边地区体验几条徒步路线。
最受欢迎的活动之一是徒步登上沙丘的最高点,而我也正是这么做的。公园里游客众多,尤其是在主沙丘区域附近,但这里的景色依然令人叹为观止,因为它独特而壮丽。
我们去的时候风特别大,这一点一定要注意。我强烈建议带上外套或其他可以遮住耳朵和部分脸部的衣物,因为风大的时候沙子会四处飞扬,让人感觉很不舒服,甚至有点危险。
尽管如此,这里仍然非常值得一游。景色壮丽,与科罗拉多州其他任何地方都截然不同,而且非常上镜。
