点评:We had the Petrified Forest National Park and the Painted Desert, within the park, on our list and were always passing it by. FINALLY made it.
This is a beautiful, drive through, and make many stops park. We drove from Farmington, New Mexico, to Williams, Arizona, driving through the park. The day was nice, partly cloudy to cloudy with occasional light rain, and temperatures in the mid 70s.
The elevation is from 5,300 to 6,200 feet above sea level so those not used to higher altitudes may struggle here with exertion.
There are several visitor centers and they should not be missed, they are not repetitive in presentation.
Expect to be awed by the way Mother Nature used her paintbrush in the Painted Desert and appreciate what Father Time, water, and minerals have done to the trees that were on the plains of this area for millions of years.
This is a great place for young children.
Bring food and stay hydrated.
Thanks,
Rex
翻译:我们计划去石化森林国家公园和公园内的彩绘沙漠,每次都路过。终于到了。
这是一个风景优美、适合驾车穿越、值得驻足停留的公园。我们从新墨西哥州的法明顿开车穿过公园,到了亚利桑那州的威廉姆斯。天气很好,部分多云到阴天,偶尔有小雨,气温在70华氏度左右。
海拔5300到6200英尺,所以不习惯高海拔的人来这里可能会觉得很费力。
公园里有几个游客中心,千万不要错过,而且它们的介绍都不一样。
准备好惊叹大自然在彩绘沙漠挥舞画笔的方式,并欣赏岁月、水和矿物质对这片平原上数百万年来生长的树木的馈赠。
这里非常适合小孩子。
带上食物,保持水分充足。
谢谢,
Rex
