点评:The view is ok, though nothing compared to views you'll get at Rocky Mountain National Park. If you aren't a local, I don't recommend Devil's Backbone. Here are the reasons for my low rating (and why I wish we'd never gone to Devil's Backbone):
1. Materials received at the/a Colorado welcome center incorrectly indicated Devil's Backbone was a free activity. The park actually has a fee of $10. You follow a QR code on a sign to go thru the payment process (have to provide your name, phone #, email, address and credit card info.) You receive only digital confirmation.
2. We paid the $10. Nonetheless, when we returned from the hike to the keyhole, there was a citation ticket on our car. I called, and the person on the phone could see I'd paid, but couldn't fix the issue.
3. Though the error was the ranger's, the fixing of the error is entirely on you: ie you must send a letter within a limited time to dispute the citation OR drive about a 10 mile round trip to the boonies to the office of natural resources to get that office to void the citation. Going in person must also be done in a limited timeframe. So, either way it's going to mess with your vacation. Not worth the view or the hassle.
4. The Benson sculpture garden was free and very pretty and tranquil. I recommend you go there, and go to Rocky Mountain National Park for hikes and views.
翻译:景色还算不错,但和落基山国家公园的景色相比就逊色多了。如果你不是当地人,我不推荐去魔鬼脊梁。以下是我给出低评分的原因(也是为什么我希望我们根本没去过魔鬼脊梁):
1. 在科罗拉多州游客中心拿到的资料上错误地写明魔鬼脊梁是一项免费活动。实际上,进入该景区需要支付10美元的费用。你需要扫描指示牌上的二维码来完成支付流程(必须提供姓名等信息)。1. 我们只需提供电话号码、电子邮箱、地址以及信用卡信息即可。您只会收到电子版的确认信息。
2. 我们已经支付了10美元的费用。然而,当我们从“钥匙孔”徒步点返回时,发现车上有一张罚单。我打电话过去,接听电话的人确认我确实付过款,但却无法解决这个问题。
3. 虽然这个错误是管理员造成的……纠正错误的责任完全在你:也就是说,你必须在规定时间内寄送信件来对罚单提出异议;或者开车往返约10英里,前往偏僻地区的自然资源局办公室,请求他们撤销罚单。亲自前往也必须在规定时间内完成。不管哪种方式,都会打乱你的假期计划。为了那个景色或体验而折腾一番实在不值得。
4. 本森雕塑园免费开放,环境十分优美宁静。我推荐你去那里逛逛。然后前往落基山国家公园,享受徒步之旅并欣赏沿途的美景。
