点评:The Rainbow Forest Museum is at the far south end of the main PFNP park road. While its purpose is indeed evidently as a fossil museum, we found it most useful as a logistics stop before leaving the park and heading back up to I-40 to continue our journey.
There are public restrooms at the museum and a fair-sized gift shop that seemed to have a selection of about the same sorts of things as the main visitors center up on the north end.
There is also a walking trail here among petrified logs and fragments which is shorter than the trail at Crystal Forest. But your reviewer much preferred the longer trail there, since it really preserved more isolated and in-situ feeling to all the fossils than was possible here right outside the backdoor of a well-visited museum. On the other hand, the shorter trail here might be more practical for some visitors.
翻译:彩虹森林博物馆位于 PFNP 公园主干道的最南端。虽然它的用途显然是作为化石博物馆,但我们发现它最适合作为离开公园并返回 I-40 继续旅程之前的后勤站。
博物馆有公共卫生间和一家规模相当大的礼品店,里面似乎有与北端主要游客中心大致相同的东西。
这里还有一条步行道,位于石化原木和碎片之间,比水晶森林的步道短。但您的评论者更喜欢那里的长步道,因为它确实保留了所有化石的孤立感和原地感,而这里就在一个游客众多的博物馆后门外。另一方面,这里较短的步道对一些游客来说可能更实用。
