落基山脉之旅 - 自驾游|摩旅 - 8264户外手机版
[p=18, null, left]我工作后第一个假期去了北美最著名的山脉落基山脉,10天跑了8个国家公园,开了5000公里的路,算是一大票,可惜如今想起来写游记的时候已经是4年之后了,还好当年我用英文写了一个行程单,主要包括各处的住宿地址和沿途需要停留观赏的景点。我今日把它稍作整理放到网上,希望能帮到各位想租车自助游落基山脉的朋友。先从北到南列一下这8个国家公园的名字:加拿大这边有Jasper National Park,Banff National Park,Yoho National Park,Kootenay National Park,和Waterton Lakes National Park,美国那边有Glacier National Park,Yellowstone National Park,和Grand Teton National Park。
我先说一下这份行程的大概使用方法,省了各位看下面的英文费事儿。我当时按照距离和车速计算了每天可以开多少公里,还根据经典的占地和精彩程度计算出了在景点大约停留的时间,第一天的行程有些紧,最后几个被我们挪到第二天才去。有些景点,比如骑马的,太贵,所以没有成行。其他都和我攻略保持基本一致。看这个攻略,你必须结合地图看,否则不可能看懂的。我一般不这么写攻略,主要那次是自己开车,所以这样弄比较方便使用。你只需用google map get direction找到下面攻略里提到的住宿地址,每天的行程地图就有了。至于国家公园里面的景点地名,google map 找不到,你就需要打开该国家公园的官方网站,上面或pdf,或flash都有详尽的公园内部地图,都很好找,我这里就不费力贴了。[p=18, null, left]我个人不camping,所以住宿都是小旅店,有motel也有breakfast&bed,就求个便宜干净能洗热水澡,最好还能包早饭。住宿的地方都是我当时一家一家打电话,能找到的最便宜还有空房的,具体地址和联系电话下面都有,可以帮你省些力气。旅店在出发前都要打电话预订,可能需要记录你的信用卡号,这个只作reservation用,不去住是不会划钱的。然后再买张机票飞到加拿大的Calgary,预定好Calgary机场的租车。路上有各种各样的野生动物出没,比如鹿,羚羊,熊,水牛等等,开车要注意安全。夏天去也记得带上羽绒服,因为路上有冰川要爬,很冷。
另外国家公园的门票我们当时买的是年票,买年票有快速通道,回来之后你还可以出租一年,加拿大所有国家公园通用,为了出租,年票背面不要签名。不会亏的。
我写得原文在 rocky-mountains-trip.maplist.org
一共11章,贴起来比较麻烦啊。
