点评:We made the trip from Bend on our Oregon Road Trip last summer. The drive there was half the fun. Once you get there, you will see some of the painted hills as you drive in and from the overlook. You will want to drive back to the Painted Cove Trail, which is very pretty. I will say, it is a lot smaller than I was expecting. the Painted Cove Trail would take 10-15 minutes if you just walked it. The overlook as excellent views into a valley.
I know there is more to this park than what you can see from the road, but from places you can drive too, you can knock this out in a few hours and move on. Areas of Zion and the Badlands National Parks are much more elaborate, which is why I knock this down to 4 start.
It is definitely worth stopping at on you travels and a must if you are a National Park Geek like me, but temper your expectations.
翻译:去年夏天,我们从本德出发,在俄勒冈州的公路旅行中游览了这里。开车去那里是乐趣的一半。到达那里后,在开车进出观景台时,您会看到一些彩绘山丘。您会想开车回到彩绘湾步道,那里非常漂亮。我要说的是,它比我想象的要小得多。如果您步行,彩绘湾步道需要 10-15 分钟。观景台可以看到山谷的美景。
我知道这个公园的景色比您在公路上看到的要多,但从您可以开车的地方,您可以在几个小时内完成这个公园,然后继续前进。锡安国家公园和恶地国家公园的区域更加精致,这就是我将其降为 4 星的原因。
如果您和我一样是国家公园迷,这里绝对值得您在旅行中停留,而且是必游之地,但请降低您的期望。
