点评:Forrest Gump Point is exactly what you’d expect: an incredible view of the long, straight highway leading toward Monument Valley and a great opportunity to recreate one of the most recognizable road-trip photos in the Southwest.
It was fairly crowded when we visited, with seemingly everyone stopping to take some version of the same photo. It is an obvious social media destination, but that doesn’t take away from how spectacular the view actually is. Seeing Monument Valley rising in the distance with the highway stretching toward it is absolutely worth the stop.
The biggest caution is traffic. People can become so focused on getting their photo that they stand in the middle of the highway without paying enough attention to approaching vehicles. This is still an active road, so whether you’re taking pictures or driving through, be careful and stay aware of your surroundings.
Yes, you’re probably going to take essentially the same picture as everyone else—but there’s a reason everyone wants it.
Crowded and a little chaotic, but iconic, beautiful and definitely worth stopping for.

我们到访时那里人头攒动,似乎所有人都停下来拍摄类似的照片。这里显然是个适合发到社交媒体上的景点,但这丝毫不影响它绝美的景观。看到远处的纪念碑谷耸立而起,公路则一直通向那里,真的值得特意停车一睹。
最需要小心的就是交通状况。人们往往一心只想着拍照,结果站在公路中央却忽视了驶近的车辆。这条路至今仍有车辆通行,所以无论你是拍照还是驾车经过,都请务必小心,时刻留意周围的环境。
没错。你拍出来的照片很可能和其他人拍的几乎一样——但正因如此,才人人都想拍一张。
虽然人多且有点混乱,但它极具标志性、美不胜收,绝对值得驻足欣赏。
