点评:Everyone has already written a lot of the Narrows Hike. Hopefully my review can add something new.
My friends and family went on a Sunday in early-mid July. We got to the visitor parking at 7am and still had to wait probably 20-30 min for the shuttle. We had 2 kids with us ages 11 and 13years old. We got to the Narrows a little after 8am. It was still very cool and the water was very cold. Even in the summer we had Neoprene socks which was very helpful for the cold in the feet. Probably until we got to the fork in the Narrows is when the kids really started to warm up, and that was about 4 hours later. (We took our sweet time.) We made it all the way to Wallstreet before deciding to turn back. As adults we probably could’ve made it further but we didn’t want to chance it with the kids. It was a lot faster to get back and the river finally felt good with the sun down in the canyon.
I definitely recommend neoprene socks and hiking stick/pole. We are a pretty fit family but walking on river rocks can be tricky so sticks/ poles were great. After the fork in the Narrows the crowd thinned out considerably. But expect crowds within the first mile of the Narrows at any time. Definitely pack food- we did but could have used more for the kids since I didn’t think we would be out that long. The kids loved seeing the wildlife, climbing on rocks, discovering swimming holes while the adults took their time enjoying the beautiful scenery!
翻译:关于窄谷徒步之旅,大家已经写了不少内容了。希望我的评论能提供一些新的信息。
我的朋友和家人在7月上旬的一个周日去徒步。我们早上7点就到达了游客停车场,但仍然需要等待大约20到30分钟才能搭上接驳车。我们带着两个孩子,年龄分别为11岁和13岁。8点刚过我们便抵达了窄谷入口。当时天气还很凉,河水也极其冰冷。即便是在夏天,我们也穿上了氯丁橡胶袜,这对防止双脚受寒帮助很大。大概直到我们走到Narrows处的岔路口,孩子们才真正开始兴奋起来,那时已经过去了大约4个小时。(我们走得可慢了。)我们一路走到了Wallstreet才决定折返。作为成年人,我们或许能走得更远,但考虑到有孩子在,我们不敢冒险。折返的路程快多了,当太阳落入峡谷之后,河水摸起来也舒服多了。
我强烈推荐穿着氯丁橡胶袜并使用登山杖/手杖。我们一家人的体力都不错,但在河里的石头上行走还是挺困难的,因此手杖/拐棍就派上大用场了。穿过狭谷的岔路口后,人流量明显减少了。不过在狭谷的前一英里内,任何时候都可能会有很多人。一定要带上食物——我们也带了,但对孩子们来说还是不够,因为我原以为我们不会在外待那么久。孩子们很喜欢观察野生动物、在石头上攀爬,还能发现适合游泳的小水潭;而大人们则可以慢慢地欣赏这美丽的风景!
