Gates of the Mountains的点评
点评：A wonderful boat expedition down the Missouri River, just outside of Helena, lasting about two hours. The cruise was expertly narrated by a local woman whose speaking talents were off the charts. She did everything off the cuff, although clearly she had repeated the words so many times, they were more polished than a Barack Obama speech. Fortunately, this wasn’t a corny cruise with silly jokes; this was educational, entertaining, inspiring, and an effective way for passengers to relive history.
Along the route, we were greeted by great towering walls of limestone. While we saw one deer, an osprey, and a couple bald eagles, Cherry Wonderdog was a bit disappointed not to catch a glimpse of any scampering bighorn sheep or mountain goats, even on the earliest 10 AM tour. No vultures or falcons (peregrine and prairie) soared on the updrafts. No otters, squirrels, ermine, beaver, mountain lions, black bears or other wild creatures were seen either. The
A large part of the tour was focused on the story of Mann Gulch, the site of the raging forest fire that killed 13 smokejumpers in August, 1949 and the subject of Norman Maclean’s book “Young Men and Fire”. Cherry Wonderdog still wonders why, with controlled burns, these poor smokejumpers had to risk (and lose) these lives fighting a fire in this location.
That being said, this is a great boat trip. We enjoyed the quieter boat with no inside quarters (and no bathroom either). It means stopping along the way at a campground in an absolutely idyllic location.

翻译：在海伦娜郊外，沿着密苏里河顺流而下的精彩乘船之旅持续了大约两个小时。一位当地女士为游船解说，她的口才真是一流。她即兴发挥，虽然显然已经重复了无数遍，但比巴拉克·奥巴马的演讲还要精彩。幸运的是，这不是一次充斥着愚蠢笑话的俗套游船之旅；它既有教育意义，又充满乐趣，鼓舞人心，是乘客重温历史的有效方式。
沿途，我们被巍峨的石灰岩墙所迎接。虽然我们看到了一只鹿、一只鱼鹰和几只白头鹰，但Cherry Wonderdog 有点失望，因为即使在早上10点的最早一趟行程中，也没看到任何奔跑的大角羊或野山羊。没有秃鹫或猎鹰（游隼和草原隼）乘着上升气流翱翔。也没见到水獭、松鼠、貂、海狸、美洲狮、黑熊或其他野生动物。
这次旅行的很大一部分内容都集中在曼恩峡谷的故事上。1949年8月，一场肆虐的森林大火夺走了13名空降消防员的生命，而诺曼·麦克林的著作《年轻人与火》正是以这里为主题。Cherry Wonderdog至今仍不明白，在燃烧可控的情况下，这些可怜的空降消防员为什么要冒着生命危险（甚至牺牲）在这里灭火。
话虽如此，这次乘船之旅还是很棒的。我们喜欢那艘更安静的船，没有舱房（也没有卫生间）。这意味着我们会在沿途的露营地停留，那里的景色绝对田园诗般。
