点评:We walked the quarter-mile Observation Trail which loops uphill and then back down through a series of spectacular rock formations and scenic views. The trail is paved with flagstones so it’s easy to walk. We had not looked at any photos or videos before we went, so didn’t quite know what to expect. We started up and began to see some cool rocks and thought hey, this was worth doing. Then we made it up to the bluffs where the scenic views begin and were blown away by how beautiful it all was. We spent 50 minutes on this short trail because we stopped so many times to take photos and look at scenic views. The place was just stunning and I’m so glad we made the effort to visit. Be aware there are many places where you can walk off the trail and right out onto the edge of a high rock or cliff, so caution is required especially if you take children.
Our visit was on a Wednesday afternoon at 3:45pm and there were a good many people there. The parking lot at the Observation Trailhead was pretty large so I imagine there are times when the place can get crowded.
There are other trailheads in the Garden of the Gods area but we didn’t have time to visit those on this trip.
翻译:我们沿着四分之一英里长的观景步道行走,这条步道蜿蜒上坡,然后蜿蜒下行,沿途欣赏着一系列壮观的岩层和美景。步道铺着石板路,走起来很容易。出发前我们没有看过任何照片或视频,所以对沿途的景色一无所知。我们开始上山,看到一些很酷的岩石,心想,嘿,这趟旅程绝对值得一看。然后,我们爬上了风景尽头的悬崖,眼前的美景令我们惊叹不已。我们在这条短短的步道上停留了50分钟,因为我们多次停下来拍照和欣赏美景。这个地方真是美极了,我很高兴我们抽出时间来参观。需要注意的是,很多地方可能会偏离步道,直接走到高耸的岩石或悬崖边缘,所以一定要小心,尤其是带着孩子的话。
我们是星期三下午3:45去的,那里人很多。观景步道入口的停车场很大,所以我想有时候那里会很拥挤。
众神花园区域还有其他步道入口,但这次我们没时间去参观。
