点评:Go to Badwater Basin first. Then, afterwards embark on your nine mile journey through Artist's Drive which is a one-way only road. Know and understand beforehand that you will not be able to traverse this scenic drive with your recreational vehicle (RV) or trailer exceeding 25 ft. Bring lots of water and a wide-brimmed hat for your protection and possibly survival. If you have less than half a tank of gas in your vehicle and you decide to make this drive, you are not thinking clearly and are ill-prepared. If a vehicle is driving too close to you because they are in a hurry for life or racing off to go see the next site, safely pull over and let them pass. Take your time to really enjoy this area. Allow 1 hour to explore.
I stopped at the first pullover. There was a pretty steep hill that left me gasping for breath especially in the 100 degrees afternoon sun. When I reached the top, the surrounding vistas looked like what I imagine Mars to look like. I could even see the salt flats from Badwater Basin off in the distance, but don't be mistaken. This is not a beautiful place to spend a lot of time. Again, think Mars.
Wondering where the main attraction is, Artists Palette? Keep driving until there is a paved road in which a sharp right can be taken. Take this and it will lead to a small parking lot with a restroom and NP wayside exhibit placard. The beauty can be taken in from the parking lot or by accessing the trails and paths just ahead for a closer view and different perspective.
翻译:首先前往恶水盆地。然后,踏上九英里长的艺术家大道之旅,这是一条单行道。请事先了解并理解,您的房车 (RV) 或拖车不得超过 25 英尺(约 7.6 米)穿越这条风景优美的大道。请携带充足的饮用水和一顶宽边帽,以保护您的安全,甚至可能为了生存。如果您的车油箱不足半箱,却决定驾车穿越这条路,则说明您思维不清晰,准备不足。如果一辆车因为急着逃命或急着去看下一个景点而离您太近,请安全靠边停车,让它们先行。慢慢享受这片区域。预留 1 小时的探索时间。
我在第一个停车处停了下来。那里有一座相当陡峭的山坡,尤其是在 100 华氏度(约 37 摄氏度)的午后阳光下,我感到气喘吁吁。当我到达山顶时,周围的景色就像我想象中的火星一样。我甚至能看到远处恶水盆地的盐滩,但别误会。这里可不是什么值得长时间停留的美丽地方。想想火星吧。
想知道主要景点“艺术家调色板”在哪里吗?继续开车,直到有一条铺好的路可以急转右转。沿着这条路走,会到达一个小停车场,里面有卫生间和国家公园路边的展览牌。您可以从停车场欣赏美景,也可以沿着前方的小路走,近距离欣赏,换个视角。
