点评:This was our third stop on Grand Loop Road. The area is famous for its hydro-thermal features all along the half-mile boardwalk. First, we saw hot springs like Celestine Pool which featured bright orange and yellow colors caused by iron oxidizing around the steaming crater. Then we saw the boiling hot and loud bubbling pools of acidic wet clay and rocks called Fountain Paint Pots.
Soon, we came across the Clepsydra Geyser erupting continuously with the strong smell of Sulphur and high winds around us. Farther along, we came across the Bacteria Mats and the Leather Pool with its vivid array of bright colors resulting from different oxidation states of iron.
The Boardwalk was strong and level, and it felt like Mother Nature was showing off at every step of the way.
The entire trail is a short one, but it takes a while to complete because there are so many things to see and admire, informational plaques to read and take photos of all the wonderful sights.
Just Wow..!
Do not miss this area.
翻译:这是我们在大环路上的第三站。这一区域以沿半英里长的木栈道分布的各类热液现象而闻名。首先,我们看到了像“塞莱斯汀池”这样的温泉,由于铁在冒蒸汽的喷口周围氧化,池水呈现出鲜艳的橙色和黄色。接着我们又看到了名为“喷泉彩池”的地方——那里是酸性湿黏土与岩石混合形成的沸腾水池,不断发出嘈杂的气泡声。
不久之后,。我们看到克利普西德拉间歇泉正在持续喷发,周围弥漫着浓烈的硫磺气味,还伴有强风。再往前走,我们又看到了细菌垫以及“皮革池”——由于铁元素处于不同的氧化状态,池水呈现出五彩斑斓的色彩。
木栈道十分坚固且平整,每一步都仿佛是大自然在向我们展示它的鬼斧神工。
整条步道的长度并不长。不过要逛完需要一段时间,因为有太多值得观看和欣赏的事物了——还有各种介绍牌需要阅读,以及无数绝美的景色值得拍照留念。
真是令人惊叹啊..!
千万别错过这一区域。
