点评:Goldstrike Canyon Hot Springs is an unforgettable adventure for those ready to take on a moderate to difficult hike. The trail starts off easy the first 1.5mi but get ready to scramble! The hike features plenty of challenges, with rock scrambles and roped sections that demand both arm and leg strength. The trek down involves a 1,000-foot elevation loss, so be prepared for the uphill climb on the way back, which can be quite strenuous. The roped sections, in particular, require a good amount of upper body strength to navigate. Those without strong arms may struggle, especially on the return ascent. However, the effort is rewarded with beautiful hot springs and scenic views along the Colorado River. It’s a true escape into a canyon right next to the Hoover Dam. We went in October with perfect temps in the 70’s, not crowded and a peaceful atmosphere. Bring plenty of water, wear sturdy shoes, and go early to avoid the midday heat. This trail is best suited for more experienced hikers who are comfortable with technical challenges. We did encounter a family with 4 kids ages 11-18. The 11 girl wasn’t fast by any means, but her determination was notable. For those up for the journey, Goldstrike Canyon offers a memorable and invigorating experience.
翻译:对于那些准备进行中等至困难徒步旅行的人来说,Goldstrike Canyon Hot Springs 是一次难忘的冒险。这条小径开始的 1.5 英里很容易,但准备好攀爬吧!徒步旅行充满了挑战,有攀爬岩石和绳索路段,需要手臂和腿部的力量。下山的路程涉及 1,000 英尺的海拔下降,所以在回程时要做好爬坡的准备,这可能相当费力。特别是绳索路段,需要很大的上肢力量才能通过。那些手臂不够强壮的人可能会很吃力,尤其是在回程时。然而,这种努力会得到美丽的温泉和科罗拉多河沿岸的美景的回报。这是胡佛大坝旁边峡谷的真正避难所。我们是在 10 月份去的,气温在 70 华氏度左右,人不多,气氛宁静。带上足够的水,穿结实的鞋子,早点去,避开正午的炎热。这条路线最适合经验丰富的徒步旅行者,他们可以应对技术挑战。我们确实遇到了一个有 4 个孩子的家庭,年龄在 11-18 岁之间。11 岁的女孩速度并不快,但她的决心令人印象深刻。对于那些准备踏上旅程的人来说,Goldstrike Canyon 提供了一次难忘而令人振奋的体验。
