Not much there, but totally worth it for me!
Evel Knievel Snake River Canyon Jump Site的点评
点评:All that's left is a huge manmade hill that was once the ramp for the "skycycle" & a plaque on the Canyon Rim Trail. But, as a lover of kitsch, & as someone who remembers the actual network broadcast back in 1974, this was a must-see for me. You can walk/bike the 2 1/2 miles from the Twin Falls Visitor Center on the Canyon Rim Trail. If you prefer to drive, the last half mile or so, after you jog around a subdivision, is gravel, but it's easy to find (we used Google Maps) & there is a parking area at the base of the ramp. Once I saw the Snake River canyon at the jump site, I wondered if Evel was insane. Or rather, I better understood why Evel pulled the parachute early, effectively bailing on the jump. It's a beautiful view, but it had to look very wide & very scary from his vantage point! This isn't for everyone; everyone I know would've given this 1 star (or wouldn't have even gone to see it in the 1st place). But, I'm delighted it still exists & recommend it for anyone who loves off-beat attractions.
翻译:剩下的只有一座巨大的人造山丘,它曾经是“空中自行车”的坡道和峡谷边缘步道上的一块牌匾。但是,作为一个媚俗爱好者,作为一个记得 1974 年实际网络广播的人,这对我来说是必看的。您可以从峡谷边缘步道上的双子瀑布游客中心步行/骑自行车 2.5 英里。如果您喜欢开车,在慢跑过一个分区后,最后半英里左右是碎石路,但很容易找到(我们使用了谷歌地图),坡道底部有一个停车区。当我在跳跃地点看到蛇河峡谷时,我想知道埃维尔是不是疯了。或者更确切地说,我更好地理解了为什么埃维尔早早拉下降落伞,实际上是放弃了跳跃。这是一个美丽的景色,但从他的有利位置看,它必须看起来非常宽阔和非常可怕!这不是适合所有人的;我认识的每个人都会给它 1 星(或者根本不会去看它)。但是,我很高兴它仍然存在,并向所有喜欢非主流景点的人推荐它。
