点评:This overlook at Harpers Ferry where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers meet is definitely worth the stop as it has a lot to offer for a simple viewing point. First, from this spot you can see both rivers coming together. The view offers some great opportunities for excellent pictures. Second, behind you is the historic town of Harpers Ferry. Third, a few feet back from the overlook is a shady spot with several informational signs about the confluence. Fourth, to the right and down a set of stairs is the path to the water. Fifth, left and up the path is the walking path across the bridge. Along the viewing area there are plenty of informational signs that explain the history and geography. It is up the hill from the town proper and may be difficult for the mobility challenged since it is not a smooth road surface path to get to the viewing area. The view is not just of the rivers. You can see the supports for the old bridge and, if you time it right, some people tubing or rafting down the river. I think, it’s one of the highlights of the park and a great place to pause and take in the scenery.
翻译:哈珀斯渡口是波托马克河与谢南多厄河的交汇处,这个观景台绝对值得一游,因为作为一个简单的观景点,它有很多值得一看的地方。首先,从这个位置您可以看到两条河流的交汇。这个视野为您提供了许多拍出好照片的机会。其次,您身后是历史名镇哈珀斯渡口。第三,距离观景台几英尺远的地方有一个阴凉处,上面有几块关于交汇处的信息标志。第四,向右走下一段楼梯是通往水边的小路。第五,向左走上小路是过桥的小路。观景区有许多信息标志,介绍当地的历史和地理。观景区位于镇中心的山上,由于通往观景区的路面并不平坦,行动不便的人可能会难以到达。这里的景色不仅仅是河流。您可以看到老桥的支架,如果时间安排得当,还可以看到一些人在河上漂流。我认为,这是公园的亮点之一,也是一个停下来欣赏风景的好地方。
