点评:This place is great. It is a bit off on a side road from the main highway, but it is worth the side trip. We had talked about going before, but last time we were nearby it was 106 degrees outside and thankfully we skipped it. This time it was overcast and cooler in early October and it was great. The park is mainly a visitor center and rental office for the sand boards with a small gift shop, a campground, and then the dunes. You park in the area by the dunes and go walking. First, you likely want to go without shoes (or at least leave them at the top before you leave the concrete areas. The sand is so fine and deep, you will bog down and fill your shoes. Barefoot was great. Second, this will be work. Every step down is a step you have to take on the way back going up, so please be careful if you get winded or have heart isssues. We found a side dune that we had to ourselves, but the huge dune out in the distance had the biggest slide and therefore the most people. Renting a sand board (choice is standing up or sitting) is $25 per board per day. We all shared one board as a family, which worked well enough for us. You will get sand in everything and on every part of you. Also, if you hit the ground, it may be "soft" but we all still made loud thuds. We also went rock hunting in the areas near the dunes. I would happily come back when in the area again.
翻译:这个地方太棒了。它位于主公路旁的一条小路上,不过绕道而来绝对值得。我们之前就商量过要来,但上次我们在附近时,户外温度高达106华氏度,幸好我们没去。这次是10月初,天空多云且气温较凉,感觉棒极了。这座公园主要有一个游客中心和沙板租赁处,还有一家小纪念品店、露营区以及沙丘。把车停在沙丘附近的停车区后就可以开始漫步了。首先,你最好不穿鞋(或者至少在离开水泥地之前把鞋脱下)。这里的沙子又细又厚,穿鞋的话很容易陷进去,还会让鞋子里装满沙子。光着脚感觉棒极了。其次,这其实是一项体力活——每向下迈一步,返回时都得再迈回来,所以如果你容易气喘或患有心脏病,务必要小心。我们发现了一处无人打扰的侧边沙丘,而远处那座巨大的沙丘上滑道最长,因此人也最多。租用沙板的价格为每块板每天25美元(可选择站立或坐着的方式使用)。我们一家人共用一块沙板,对我们来说也完全够用。不过沙子会沾到所有东西上,也会粘在身上各个部位。另外,虽然地面看似“柔软”,但一旦摔倒还是会发出很大的响声。我们还在沙丘附近寻找岩石。以后有机会再来到这一带的话,我肯定还会再来。
