点评:We have been to the Grand Canyon many times and during all seasons. My feeling is that the summer months provide the most crowded conditions, with the requirement of riding around in a dedicated park bus to certain sections of the park. Lookout points can be quite busy during the summer months with many foreign and domestic visitors. Lines to get into the park can be quite long during the summer months.
We have also been there in December, when it was cold, days are short, and there is snow and ice on the ground and on the roadways. If visitors can brave the cold weather and watch the weather conditions to be sure there isn't a heavy snowfall, it's a great time to visit with fewer visitors by far compared to the summer months. The park is more enjoyable, in my opinion, in December than in the summertime because the air is clearer and the park seems to be more pristine without the crowds. Visitors can also drive their cars anywhere in the park in December, January, and February.
We went in February this time, because it seemed like a good time to go. This year there was no snow and ice, since the area has been suffering from a drought. As with December, there were fewer visitors, and lines to get into the park were short. There were only three cars ahead of us waiting to get in. Our experience was similar to the visit in December, although with higher temperatures. We actually had an ideal experience this time.
We typically spend the night in Flagstaff where hotels are cheaper and there are more restaurants, etc. than in Tusayan. Tusayan is a village with expensive costs for everything. Williams is a good choice if you want to stay south of the Grand Canyon because it isn't far from South Entrance of the park and there are plenty of hotels and restaurants.
翻译:我们去过大峡谷很多次,一年四季都去过。我的感觉是,夏季人流最多,需要乘坐专用公园巴士前往公园的某些区域。夏季,观景点会非常繁忙,有许多国内外游客。夏季,进入公园的队伍会很长。
我们也曾在 12 月去过那里,那时天气很冷,白天很短,地面和道路上都有雪和冰。如果游客能够勇敢面对寒冷的天气,并注意天气状况以确保没有大雪,那么现在是游览的好时机,因为与夏季相比,游客数量要少得多。在我看来,12 月的公园比夏天更有趣,因为空气更清新,没有拥挤的人群,公园似乎更原始。游客还可以在 12 月、1 月和 2 月驾车前往公园的任何地方。
这次我们是 2 月去的,因为那似乎是个不错的时间。今年没有下雪和结冰,因为该地区一直遭受干旱。与 12 月一样,游客较少,进入公园的队伍很短。我们前面只有三辆车在等着进园。我们的体验与 12 月的访问类似,尽管气温更高。这次我们的体验确实很理想。
我们通常在弗拉格斯塔夫过夜,那里的酒店比图萨扬便宜,餐馆也更多。图萨扬是一个村庄,一切都很昂贵。如果您想住在大峡谷以南,威廉姆斯是一个不错的选择,因为它离公园的南入口不远,而且有很多酒店和餐馆。
