点评:100% recommend visiting this state park and driving up the Waimea canyon road. It is very well paved and marked, accessible by any car. Views of the canyon are spectacular. The road takes you from sea level up to over 4000 ft. You’ll see a beautiful waterfall among cliffs, mountains and valleys, basking in colors of green, red and earth tones. Depending on the time of day you go and current weather conditions, you experience different lighting of the canyon’s many geologic features. Morning, midday or afternoon are all perfectly great times to go with different sections of the canyon highlighted by the sun as clouds of varying size and density act as filters for this grand stage illumination. In case there is a bit of periodic rain, go anyway, nature will reward you with a fantastic rainbow spanning over the top of the mountain. Take as many photos and videos as fit on your camera, you can always edit them later. There are four built out lookouts, one of them was closed at the time we went. They all have ample parking with paved paths and few steps to a lookout platform, which is also accessible by wheelchair or with stroller along a low sloped ramp. Restroom facilities are good at each lookout. Hawaiian residents go free, the rest of us will pay by credit card only $10 per car and $5 per person for all the lookouts. You’ll find the Pay stations on each lookout’s parking lot. Besides these lookouts, there are other opportunities along the road where you can safely pull over and snap a quick picture. Drive slowly and safely for everyone’s enjoyment. Give yourself at least three hours from the start in Waimea. Towards the end of the road there is the Kōke’e lodge and museum. Check their website for latest info, they closed at 4 pm the day we went.
翻译:强烈推荐大家参观这个州立公园,沿着威美亚峡谷公路自驾而上。这条路铺设精良,路标清晰,任何车辆均可通行。峡谷的景色壮丽无比。这条路从海平面一直延伸到海拔4000多英尺的高空。美丽的瀑布掩映在悬崖、群山和山谷之间,沐浴在绿色、红色和泥土色的色彩中。根据您前往的时间和天气状况,峡谷的众多地质特征呈现出不同的光影效果。早上、中午或下午都是游览的最佳时间,阳光照射在峡谷的不同区域,不同大小和密度的云层为这盛大的灯光舞台增添了光彩。即使偶尔下点小雨,也别忘了去,大自然会用一道横跨山顶的彩虹来回报您。尽可能多地拍摄照片和视频,之后您可以随时编辑。峡谷内建有四个瞭望台,我们去的时候其中一个已经关闭。这些地方都设有充足的停车位,并配有铺好的小路,只需几步即可到达观景台,轮椅或婴儿车也可通过低坡道抵达。每个观景台都配有良好的卫生间设施。夏威夷居民免费,我们其他人只需使用信用卡支付所有观景台的费用,每辆车 10 美元,每人 5 美元。您会在每个观景台的停车场找到付费站。除了这些观景台,沿途还有其他机会可以安全地靠边停车并快速拍照。为了每个人的乐趣,请缓慢而安全地驾驶。从 Waimea 的起点开始至少留出三个小时。路的尽头有 Kōke'e 旅馆和博物馆。请查看他们的网站了解最新信息,我们去的那天他们下午 4 点就关门了。
