点评:The Cliff Walk was closed back in October 2022 when we last visited. A good deal of repair/improvement work appears to have been done between then and now. The trail seems easier and safer to follow, as more sections appear to have newly-placed flat stones that are less likely to twist ankles or cause falls than the more rugged ones I remember from previous walks.
But the great thing about this early-spring walk is the abundance of varied and colorful spring flowers. What a show! The floral display begins at the first sign (right near the Black Point Inn) pointing the way to the start of the Cliff Walk. And it continues through most of the walk, creating wonderful effects for photographers.
The weather is quite cool, so I would expect that these colorful floral conditions will continue for at least a while. If you can get here NOW, by all means do so!
Do wear sturdy shoes with good ankle support and, even on a calm, sunny day, it's best to bring along a jacket, as weather conditions can change quickly, and light winds off the water can turn at the blink of an eye into strong gusts.
This walk is one of the really fun/great things to do on this part of the Maine coast, so give it a go if you're anywhere nearby. As a bonus, you will get a nice view of the back of Winslow Homer's workshop, which you will pass by and thus place yourself right in the frame of his viewpoint of rocks, water, and sky, subjects of many of his paintings. You will not be disappointed.
翻译:悬崖步道于我们上次访问时于 2022 年 10 月关闭。从那时到现在,似乎已经完成了大量的维修/改进工作。沿着这条小路走起来似乎更容易、更安全,因为更多的路段似乎都有新放置的平坦石头,与我记忆中以前行走的那些崎岖不平的石头相比,这些石头不太可能扭伤脚踝或导致跌倒。
但这次早春散步的一大好处是,春天的花朵种类繁多、色彩缤纷。真是一场表演啊!花卉展示从第一个标志(就在 Black Point Inn 附近)开始,指向悬崖步道的起点。它贯穿了大部分步行路程,为摄影师创造了美妙的效果。
天气相当凉爽,所以我预计这些色彩缤纷的花卉状况至少会持续一段时间。如果您现在可以到达这里,请务必这样做!
请务必穿对脚踝有良好支撑的坚固鞋子,即使在风平浪静、阳光明媚的日子,也最好带一件夹克,因为天气条件变化很快,水面上的微风可能会在眨眼间变成强风。
这条步行道是缅因州海岸这一地区最有趣/最棒的事情之一,所以如果您在附近的任何地方,请尝试一下。作为奖励,您可以欣赏到温斯洛·霍默工作室后面的美景,您将经过该工作室,从而将自己置身于他的岩石、水和天空的视点框架中,这些都是他许多画作的主题。你不会失望的。
