点评:The Badlands of both North and South Dakota are beautiful in their landscape textures and colors -- so very different from the eastern U. S. Badlands NP has a variety of rock formations as well as grassland. As we traveled the loop road early morning, we stopped at every overlook especially enjoying the ones enhanced by morning light. After spending midday in Wall, we traveled the loop road back in the opposite direction and stopped at the overlooks that are best viewed in afternoon light. One of my favorites was Yellow Mounds.
We were glad to stay two nights in one of the wonderful park cabins which gave us good rest and plenty of time for the park, the visitor center, the Minuteman Missile sites, and Wall Drug. Southwestern South Dakota is memorable with the Badlands and the gorgeous Black Hills.
If you can, consider also visiting the badlands at Theodore Roosevelt NP in North Dakota and the nearby town of Medora.
翻译:南北达科他州的恶地(Badlands)景观纹理和色彩都美不胜收,与美国东部截然不同。恶地国家公园(Badlands National Park)拥有丰富的岩层和草地。清晨,我们沿着环路行驶,在每个观景台驻足,细细欣赏着晨曦映衬下的美景。在沃尔(Wall)度过中午后,我们沿着相反方向的环路返回,在那些午后阳光下景色最佳的观景台驻足。我最喜欢的观景台之一是黄丘(Yellow Mounds)。
我们很高兴在公园里一间漂亮的小屋里住了两晚,这让我们得到了充分的休息,也让我们有充足的时间游览公园、游客中心、民兵导弹发射场和沃尔药房(Wall Drug)。南达科他州西南部的恶地和壮丽的黑山(Black Hills)令人难忘。
如果可以,还可以考虑参观北达科他州西奥多·罗斯福国家公园(Theodore Roosevelt National Park)的恶地和附近的梅多拉镇(Medora)。
