点评:Mount Rainier is an active Volcano and has the most glaciated peak in the contiguous USA. It spawns 5 major rivers. Ascending to 14, 410 feet above sea level, the snow-capped mountain is an icon in the Washington landscape. On a clear day, you can see it on the horizon from almost anywhere – We had four glorious sunny days in Seattle and saw it from the airplane as we were landing, from the Observation deck in the Space Needle, and from several places during our various tours. How amazing…!
This mountain has been on our bucket list to visit for a very long time, and we were thrilled to have finally checked that off.
The National Park is very vast and incredibly beautiful. As tourists to this State, we decided to take a guided tour and leave the driving and the reservation details to the local experts. During our tour, we stopped at various places of interest, viewed magnificent vistas, saw cascading waterfalls, stopped at historic buildings and did the short Wonderland Hike. It was early in June when we came, so we did not get the chance to see the famous wildflowers. The tour was a long and tiring one, yet we enjoyed every minute of it.
Obviously, a “Must See” if you find yourself here in this area.
翻译:雷尼尔山是一座活火山,也是美国本土冰川覆盖最广的山峰。它孕育了五条主要河流。这座白雪皑皑的山峰海拔高达14,410英尺,是华盛顿州的标志性景观。在晴朗的日子里,几乎从任何地方都能看到它出现在地平线上——我们在西雅图度过了四个阳光明媚的日子,在飞机降落时、太空针塔的观景台以及我们多次旅行中的多个地方都看到了它。真是太神奇了……!
这座山很久以来一直是我们最想去的地方,我们很高兴终于完成了这个愿望。
国家公园面积广阔,景色优美。作为来华盛顿州旅游的游客,我们决定参加导览游,把驾驶和预订的细节交给当地的专家。在旅途中,我们游览了各个名胜古迹,欣赏了壮丽的景色,欣赏了倾泻而下的瀑布,参观了历史建筑,并进行了短暂的仙境徒步旅行。我们来的时候是六月初,所以没机会看到著名的野花。这次旅行漫长而疲惫,但我们却享受了每一分钟。
如果你恰好来到这个地区,这绝对是“必看”的景点。
