Worth the money to not have to drive through the Park on the Going-To-The-Sun Road
Glacier National Park Sun Tours的点评
点评:I took the Sun Tours bus departing from East Glacier Lake; it was worth the money to not have to drive through the park. We were picked up in the lobby of the Glacier Park Lodge, but they will stop at other nearby motels to pick up those with reservations.
Much of the day-long tour consisted of an extended drive from East to West along the Going-To-The-Sun Road (and then return). With lots of cars during the peak summer tourist season, there were not that many parking spots near the most scenic points. This Road is very narrow & curvy; an experienced driver is really necessary to avoid all the cars & pedestrians and to know where to stop.
Our bus driver (Crystal) was very knowledgeable about the Park, which you'd expect from a Blackfoot Tribe member. She pointed out the scenic highlights as we drove and parked for pictures; she also had stories about the surrounding Blackfoot Tribal lands. We got to stop for lunch at a decent restaurant just outside the main entrance. Worth the expense on the day-long ride.
翻译:我乘坐了从东冰川湖出发的太阳之旅巴士;不用开车穿过公园,真是物超所值。我们在冰川公园旅馆的大堂接我们,但他们也会在附近的其他汽车旅馆停车,接那些预订了的客人。
一整天的行程大部分时间都是沿着向阳大道从东向西行驶(然后再返回)。夏季旅游旺季车辆众多,在风景最美的景点附近停车位并不多。这条路非常狭窄且弯弯曲曲;一位经验丰富的司机至关重要,他能避开所有的车辆和行人,并且知道在哪里停车。
我们的巴士司机(Crystal)对公园非常了解,这很符合黑脚族成员的期望。在我们开车和停车拍照的过程中,她向我们介绍了公园的景点;她还讲述了周围黑脚族土地的故事。我们在正门外一家不错的餐厅吃了午饭。对于这一整天的行程来说,这笔钱花得值。
