点评:Well worth a stop if in the Drumheller region.
If coming from north of Drumheller, Google Maps may route you via Monarch Hill Rd, which is unpaved, as a shortcut to AB-9. At least when I was there (in late August), this road was well-graded and you could comfortably drive the 80km/hr posted speed limit. Monarch Hill Road starts with a steep hill but then straightens out.
The site has paid parking. $2 CAD. They accept payment by credit card or via phone tap. It looks like you could probably park across the street to save $2; but $2 is a modest fee, they do maintain the site, and the person who takes your payment can help with info about the site/orientation. There are maintained [pit] toilets at the parking lot.
There are three designated lookout points providing fine views over the canyon. There are stairs down into the canyon and a short, obvious main trail (20-30 mins). You can wander farther into the canyon past the main trail. Lots of people were clambering over the hills off the trails - getting nice selfies but perhaps causing some erosion issues.
Some TripAdvisor reviews seems to confuse this site with Horsethief Canyon, which is a separate site 30 mins. to the N of this one. That is also worth a stop; the trails there are less obvious / not maintained.
翻译:如果您在德兰赫勒地区,这里绝对值得一游。
如果您从德兰赫勒北部出发,谷歌地图可能会引导您经由未铺砌的君主山路 (Monarch Hill Rd) 前往 AB-9 的捷径。至少在我去的时候(八月底),这条路坡度适中,您可以轻松以 80 公里/小时的限速行驶。君主山路起步陡峭,之后逐渐平直。
该停车场提供付费停车服务,费用为 2 加元。他们接受信用卡或手机支付。看起来您可以将车停在街对面以节省 2 加元;但 2 加元的费用并不高,停车场由他们维护,收款人可以提供有关停车场/方向的信息。停车场设有维护良好的(坑式)厕所。
有三个指定的观景点可以欣赏峡谷的美景。有通往峡谷的楼梯和一条短而明显的主路(20-30 分钟)。你可以沿着主路继续深入峡谷。很多人在小路上翻山越岭——拍了一些漂亮的自拍,但可能造成了一些侵蚀问题。
一些 TripAdvisor 的评论似乎把这里和 Horsethief Canyon 混淆了,后者是另一个位于这里以北 30 分钟路程的景点。那里也值得一游;那里的小路不太显眼,而且维护得也不太好。
