点评:My husband and I, along with another couple - all in our 60's - recently went on a Go Big Bend day trip excursion to get to know the other-worldly Big Bend region in our home state. What a blast it was! Their website gives a great selection of itineraries to choose from with options to leave from different neighboring towns and even customize a trip. Plus they have lots of special excursions that sound so fun.
We chose the River Road and Big Bend West Side all-day excursion. Our tour guide and owner Mike Davidson was wonderful to deal with. From my beginning email inquiry, he responded quickly to all questions. Mike picked us up at a hotel in Alpine and drove us in a big SUV on the most beautiful scenic routes through both the state and national parks. Mike was very knowledgeable about the whole Big Bend region - animals, vegetation, history and geology. He kept us entertained with stories and conversation in between all our stops to walk around, explore canyons and take tons of beautiful photos. He was considerate of our activity level abilities, and provided snacks, water, lunch and all the convenience stops needed.
Our trip was at the end of February and we were lucky to have beautiful weather. Started cool in the morning, then got a bit warm, so we had to shed some layers. But even if it had been cloudy and/or raining, what a great excursion! We would definitely love to do it again in the future. Very highly recommended - thanks Mike!
翻译:我和丈夫以及另一对 60 多岁的夫妇最近参加了 Go Big Bend 一日游,以了解我们家乡超凡脱俗的 Big Bend 地区。真是太棒了!他们的网站提供了多种行程可供选择,可以选择从邻近的不同城镇出发,甚至可以定制旅行。另外,他们还有很多听起来很有趣的特别短途旅行。
我们选择了河路和大弯西区的全天游览。我们的导游兼老板迈克·戴维森(Mike Davidson)非常友善。从我开始通过电子邮件询问,他很快就回答了所有问题。迈克在阿尔卑斯山的一家酒店接我们,并开着一辆大型 SUV 载着我们沿着风景最美丽的路线穿越州立公园和国家公园。迈克对整个大弯地区非常了解——动物、植被、历史和地质。在我们停下来散步、探索峡谷并拍摄大量美丽照片的间隙,他给我们讲故事和交谈,给我们带来乐趣。他很考虑我们的活动水平,并提供零食、水、午餐和所有需要的便利设施。
我们的旅行是二月底,很幸运,天气很好。早上开始很凉,然后有点热,所以我们不得不脱掉一些衣服。但即使是阴天和/或下雨,这也是一次很棒的旅行!我们肯定很乐意将来再次这样做。强烈推荐 - 谢谢迈克!
