点评:Visiting Yellowstone was a check off my bucket list. The park is beyond gigantic, and the immense scope of it can be hard to comprehend.
The park's elevation averages about 8,000 feet, (2,400 meters). So, even in May, you can run into weather changes within the park. But, when the clouds clear and the sun comes out, the landscape is glorious.
Naturally, Yellowstone attracts huge numbers of domestic and international tourism. (I went in mid-May); and, there were people already in the park, but nothing compared to July or August.
I stayed in West Yellowstone which has a slew of eateries and hotels. Not necessarily a cheap area, but the hub sits on the park's western entrance.
For families, bear in mind driving to attractions can take a while. With no traffic, it took me about an hour from the park's west entrance to Old Faithful.
Lastly, if you enter in the spring, not all roads may be open due to snow. Check the park service website for road conditions.
翻译:参观黄石公园是我人生清单上的一项。这个公园非常大,其广阔的范围令人难以想象。
公园的平均海拔约为 8,000 英尺(2,400 米)。因此,即使在 5 月,您也可能会遇到公园内的天气变化。但是,当云散去,太阳出来时,风景壮丽无比。
自然,黄石公园吸引了大量国内外游客。(我是在 5 月中旬去的);公园里已经有很多人了,但与 7 月或 8 月相比,还算不上多。
我住在西黄石,那里有许多餐馆和酒店。这不一定是一个便宜的地区,但中心位于公园的西入口。
对于家庭来说,请记住开车去景点可能需要一段时间。没有交通拥堵的情况下,我从公园的西入口到老忠实喷泉大约花了一个小时。
最后,如果您在春季进入,由于下雪,并非所有道路都开放。请查看公园管理处网站了解道路状况。
