Upper and Lower Cascades Now Open and Much Safer-Thanks National Parks Service for Opening Upper Falls to More People
Catawba Falls的点评
点评：Both Upper and Lower Falls are now open (reopened May 31, 2024). 2 primary choices, taking the loop which is about 3.6 miles total or out and back the River Trail which is about 2.6 miles round trip. The River Trail no longer follows close to the creek as is the past and has been made into more of a full lane gravel road as the Park system had to make changes to improve the safety of the trail to the Upper Falls. (Many serious injuries and a few fatalities over the years necessitated these changes-remember the rope you had to use to get to the Upper Falls in years past?-and they’ve really done a great job in doing it). They’ve now replaced that dangerous route with a series of 530 steps and a 40 foot steel tower that was an ingenious idea to traverse the steep route. Some purists have found fault with all the work required to make this safer for everyone but it still preserves the falls themselves and allows many more people to now make it to the Upper Falls. It’s still not for the faint of heart or those scared of heights but well worth it. I would not recommend going to the upper falls when it is wet however. Great job NPS!!!!
翻译：上瀑布和下瀑布现在都开放了（2024 年 5 月 31 日重新开放）。主要有两个选择，一是走环路，全长约 3.6 英里，二是走河道，往返约 2.6 英里。河道不再像过去那样紧贴小溪，而是变成了一条全车道的碎石路，因为公园系统必须做出改变，以提高通往上瀑布的小径的安全性。（多年来，许多严重的伤害和一些死亡事件迫使我们做出这些改变——还记得过去几年你去上瀑布时必须使用的绳索吗？——他们真的做得很好）。现在，他们用一系列 530 级台阶和一座 40 英尺高的钢塔取代了那条危险的路线，这是一个穿越陡峭路线的绝妙想法。一些纯粹主义者认为，为了让这条路线对每个人都更安全，他们做了所有必要的工作，但这仍然保留了瀑布本身，让更多的人现在可以到达上瀑布。它仍然不适合胆小的人或恐高的人，但非常值得一去。不过，我不建议在潮湿的时候去上瀑布。NPS 干得好！！！！
