Absolutely terrible signage but a lot to offer
Blue Mounds State Park的点评
点评：Never been so confused at a state park before. We told the young woman working in the entrance that we were there for the first time trying to find trails and she was really unhelpful. And then the signs were even less helpful. All the trail junctions are marked with a map - the same map, with no indication of where on that map you are. To make matters worse, there are two main 5 - 6.5 mile trails that run through the park. Those trails show on the map, but their names are not on there, although there are separate trail markers with their names on the trails. We were wandering around lost - I knew what trails I wanted to go to (Mounds Trail and Quarry Trail) but I never actually found them. We needed to actually leave where we parked and drive outside the park where there are two other entrances to access the areas we were interested in. And it wasn't just us - we ran into another couple in two different areas of the park, equally confused.
All that said, Blue Mounds has a lot to offer, including a bison herd that we were able to view pretty up close. They have tall grass prairie, so the herd lives on its natural environment. There are quartzite cliffs and an old quarry, I was able to go up to the cliffs and hike by them, then go up onto the ridge itself but I had to backtrack to get down, couldn't find another way.
Even if they had someone go out with a sharpie and mark "you are here" on the trail maps, it would be a huge help. Coordinating the names of the trails on the map and the names on the trail markers would be another big improvement. And having someone working there who is engaged and helpful would have been a plus. In the brochure it says "if you only have an hour, hike the Quarry Trail". Never found it, on the map or on the ground, although I hiked right around it on other trails.

翻译：以前在州立公园从来没有这么困惑过。我们告诉在入口处工作的年轻女士，我们是第一次来这里寻找小径，但她真的没有提供任何帮助。然后，路标就更没有帮助了。所有的小径交叉口都标有地图——同一张地图，没有标明你在地图上的位置。更糟糕的是，有两条 5 - 6.5 英里的主要小径穿过公园。这些小径显示在地图上，但它们的名字不在上面，尽管小径上有单独的小径标记，上面有它们的名字。我们迷路了——我知道我想去哪条小径（Mounds Trail 和 Quarry Trail），但我从来没有真正找到它们。我们实际上需要离开停车的地方，开车到公园外，那里有另外两个入口可以进入我们感兴趣的区域。而且不只是我们——我们在公园的两个不同区域遇到了另一对夫妇，他们同样感到困惑。
话虽如此，蓝丘还是有很多值得一看的地方，包括我们可以近距离观看的野牛群。那里有高高的草原，所以牛群生活在自然环境中。那里有石英岩悬崖和一个古老的采石场，我可以爬上悬崖，然后徒步上山脊，但我不得不原路返回才能下山，找不到其他路。
即使他们派人拿着记号笔在路线图上标记“你在这里”，也会有很大的帮助。协调地图上小径的名称和路标上的名称将是另一个很大的改进。如果能有一个积极主动、乐于助人的人在那里工作，那就更好了。宣传册上写着“如果你只有一个小时的时间，就去徒步采石场小径”。但我从来没有在地图上或地面上找到过它，尽管我在其他小径上徒步绕过它。
