点评:Hawkeye Point is the highest point in Iowa; however, it is neither high nor challenging to reach. While you drive to it and walk within 100 level feet to reach it, Iowa has at least made it fun. Of the 10 high points I have reached, Iowa is the most artistic and festive. In fact it has an entire outdoor museum and even a selfie station for those solo travelers like me. It is not the hike of Guadalupe Mountain in Texas or even Black Mesa in Oklahoma, but once you reach it, it really is the one that delivers the best experience at the site. Kansas is fun but not nearly as well designed and celebrated.
As you drive through the cornfields of NW Iowa on Highway 60 less than 2.5 miles to Minnesota, you will see as small rise capped by flags and a silo. This is Hawkeye Point and Iowa has done a great job embracing it.
翻译:鹰眼点是爱荷华州的最高点;然而,它既不高也不难达到。当您开车前往并步行 100 英尺以内到达时,爱荷华州至少让它变得有趣。在我达到的 10 个高点中,爱荷华州是最具艺术气息和节日气氛的。事实上,它有一个完整的户外博物馆,甚至还有一个供像我这样的独行旅客使用的自拍站。这不是德克萨斯州瓜达卢佩山或俄克拉荷马州黑山的徒步旅行,但一旦您到达那里,它确实是提供最佳体验的地方。堪萨斯州很有趣,但远没有设计和庆祝那么好。
当您沿着 60 号高速公路驶过爱荷华州西北部的玉米田,距离明尼苏达州不到 2.5 英里时,您会看到一座被旗帜和筒仓覆盖的小山丘。这是鹰眼点,爱荷华州在拥抱它方面做得很好。
