点评:The Cannonball Concretions Pullout is a must-stop if you’re driving the North Unit Scenic Drive in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It’s an easily accessible geological gem—you can drive right up to it and park just steps away from the formations.
The round (and some not-so-round) stone concretions scattered along the bluff are truly fascinating and visually striking—like nature’s own art installation. A short walk on either side of the bluff gives you different perspectives and photo ops, so it’s worth taking a few extra minutes to explore beyond the pullout.
Even better, this stop is also the starting point for several trailheads. We ended up doing two longer hikes from here, which made it not just a scenic stop, but also a great base for a day of exploration.
Highly recommended for geology enthusiasts, hikers, or anyone looking to enjoy a unique and scenic feature of the park without much effort.
翻译:如果您驾车沿着西奥多·罗斯福国家公园的北区风景道(North Unit Scenic Drive)前行,炮弹结核停车区(Cannonball Concretions Pullout)是必经之地。这里交通便利,堪称一处地质瑰宝——您可以直接驾车前往,并将车停在距离结核仅几步之遥的地方。
散布在悬崖上的圆形(以及一些不太圆的)石质结核令人着迷,视觉冲击力十足——宛如大自然的艺术杰作。沿着悬崖两侧步行一小段,就能欣赏到不同的视角和拍照机会,因此值得您多花几分钟时间探索停车区之外的景致。
更棒的是,这里也是几条步道的起点。我们从这里出发进行了两次更长的徒步,这不仅使这里成为了一个风景优美的停靠点,也是一日探索之旅的理想基地。
强烈推荐给地质爱好者、徒步旅行者,或任何想要轻松享受公园独特美景的人。
