点评:Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure was one of the more unique experiences we had in Juneau, and ultimately I'm glad we did it. The views from the top were absolutely stunning. In fact, my very first thought when I stepped out to the viewing area was, "This is what Edward saw in Twilight." One of the biggest benefits of the tour was getting to see far more of the Tongass National Forest than we otherwise would have during our time in Juneau.
That said, I think prospective visitors should know what they're signing up for. The vehicle used to navigate the gravel switchbacks up the mountain felt more than a little sketchy at times. The road is steep and winding, and there were moments when the ride was genuinely nerve-racking. To be fair, we made it up and down safely, and the drivers clearly do this regularly, but it's not a ride I would describe as relaxing.
Our guide was friendly, however, the constant narration sometimes distracted from the natural beauty surrounding us. There were several moments when I would have preferred to simply take in the scenery. Additionally, some of the guide's tangents ventured into topics he presented as expertise but was clearly information gathered from a quick internet search rather than firsthand knowledge.
Overall, "Adventure" is definitely the correct term for the experience.
翻译:冰川花园雨林探险之旅是我们朱诺之行中最独特的体验之一,最终我非常庆幸我们参加了这次旅行。山顶的景色美得令人窒息。事实上,当我走到观景台时,我脑海中浮现的第一个念头就是:“这就是《暮光之城》里爱德华看到的景色。” 这次旅行最大的好处之一就是让我们有机会欣赏到比在朱诺逗留期间所能看到的更多的通加斯国家森林美景。
话虽如此,我认为未来的游客应该了解一下这次旅行的实际情况。用来在碎石路蜿蜒上山的车辆有时感觉有点不太稳当。道路陡峭且曲折,有好几次旅程都让人提心吊胆。公平地说,我们最终安全上下山,而且司机显然经验丰富,但这绝对不是一次轻松愉快的旅程。
我们的导游很友好,但是他不停的讲解有时会分散我们对周围自然美景的注意力。有好几次,我都更愿意静静地欣赏这美丽的景色。此外,导游的一些离题讲解涉及了他声称是其专业领域的话题,但显然这些信息并非来自亲身经历,而是他通过快速网络搜索得来的。
总而言之,“冒险”一词绝对能恰当地形容这次经历。
