点评:Went back to my old stomping grounds, and decided to check out the trails around Machias. After hiking the Great Wass Island Preserve trail where we were staying, we went out to Cutler to the Bold Coast Trail. It was a picturesque drive out to the trailhead for the trail, and when we got there it had plenty of parking and a log book to document your time of departure and arrival back to the parking lot. ( very important considering it’s an isolated location with very high cliffs overlooking the Atlantic) The trails were well marked with split cedar logs laid down to traverse the swampy areas on the way to the coastal views. When you get to the cliffs the views are amazing,as you can see down to the south the amazing jagged coastline for many miles. There are many short paths that lead to magnificent views off 60 to 80ft cliffs so be sure not to go out too far since there are no fences or barriers to stop hikes from exploring out too far. If you have kids and inexperienced hikers be sure to explain and fully supervise very closely, due to extreme drops and slip hazards on many of these outlooks. I stayed on the well traveled ones only and didn’t go any further than the safety of viewing spots well from the edges from the cliffs . Getting back to the car is mostly downhill and when you get back to the trailhead, don’t forget to sign the log book putting down the time you got back..some folks never sign the time of there return, which defeats the whole point of the use of the log book! Happy Hiking Y’all and enjoy the views!
翻译:回到我以前常去的地方,决定去看看马基亚斯周围的小径。在我们住宿的大瓦斯岛保护区步道徒步旅行后,我们前往卡特勒前往大胆海岸步道。这是一条风景如画的车程,前往步道起点,当我们到达那里时,那里有充足的停车位和一本日志,可以记录您出发和到达停车场的时间。 (考虑到这是一个偏僻的地方,有非常高的悬崖,可以俯瞰大西洋,这一点非常重要)小径上铺有劈开的雪松原木,可以在通往海岸景观的途中穿过沼泽地区。当您到达悬崖时,景色令人惊叹,因为您可以看到南边绵延数英里的令人惊叹的锯齿状海岸线。有许多短途路径可通往 60 至 80 英尺悬崖的壮丽景色,因此请务必不要走得太远,因为没有栅栏或障碍物阻止徒步旅行走得太远。如果您有孩子和缺乏经验的徒步旅行者,请务必仔细解释并充分监督,因为许多这些景观都存在极端跌落和滑倒的危险。我只呆在交通便利的地方,除了从悬崖边缘安全地观看景点之外,没有再去任何地方。回到车上大多是下坡路,当你回到步道起点时,别忘了在日志上签名,记下你回来的时间。有些人从来不签下返回的时间,这就违背了整个要点记录本的使用!祝大家徒步愉快,欣赏美景!
