月底马上要出发,研究了黄石公园和大提顿公园的地图后,关于
线路设计和住宿,还有点晕,时间很紧迫了,请熟悉的大侠们指点:
我们是bozeman机场降落,计划在6天内游览黄石+大提顿(
盐湖城取舍中),先在谷歌地图上模拟了下。有几点不太明白;
1、bozeman在最北面,往南是黄石,再往南是大提顿,住宿点目前黄石公园内是没有旅馆了,看了不少帖子,暂定 西黄石(西门)、
加纳蒂( 北门)和jackson hole三个地方,
可目前谷歌地图发现:bozeman-北门和bozeman-西黄石是两条
线路,如果先去北门,再去西黄石的话,就得走回头路;(同时不知道4月底5月初北门开了没有)是否北门和西门只取一个门? 或者,园区内可否驾车从北门进,到西门??
这一点请大侠们务必指点,
酒店要根据路线来定,想周末把这些全定下来。
关键是看你去的日子园内的路是否开放。
