点评:We visited during the off season, so there were no ranger guided hikes. We easily did the training video at the visitor center and felt prepared on how to navigate. It's true the path is pretty unclear but we got some tips on finding our way.
The hike took a lot out of me. I am not terribly fit, but not a sedentary person either. I knew there would be obstacles, but the amount of strength needed to pull myself up was unexpected. This hike made me pretty uncomfortable. I would not have tolerated it very well at all if it had been a hot day.
That said, it was an incredible place to see and a great bonding experience with my teens.
If I were to complete the hike again, I think it would get easier. You learn how to adapt a little as you go, but it is a LOT of climbing. We used some extra energy backtracking a few routes but never really felt lost. All trails app reassured me for the overall trail we had covered although it will not show you a clear cut path.
I recommend this, and will have many fine memories, but for anyone in average to below average shape make sure your family is ready to help out a few places by helping pull you up or keep steady going downhill. Hiking boots are a must, and I recommend pants.
翻译:我们是在淡季去的,所以没有护林员带领的徒步活动。我们在游客中心轻松地看完了培训视频,感觉已经做好了导航的准备。的确,这条路不太清晰,但我们也学到了一些辨别方向的技巧。
这次徒步让我筋疲力尽。我的体能不算特别好,但也不是个久坐不动的人。我知道路上会有一些障碍,但没想到需要那么大的力量才能爬上去。这次徒步让我感觉很不舒服。如果是在炎热的天气,我肯定坚持不下去。
话虽如此,这里景色优美,也是我和孩子们增进感情的好机会。
如果让我再走一次,我想应该会轻松一些。你会慢慢学会适应,但确实有很多爬坡路段。我们走了几条回头路,消耗了一些额外的体力,但从来没有真正迷路。AllTrails app 显示的路线让我对我们走过的整体路线感到放心,尽管它不会显示一条清晰的路径。
我推荐这条路线,相信你会留下许多美好的回忆。但如果你体能一般或偏差,一定要确保家人做好准备,在下坡或上坡时能帮上忙。登山靴是必备的,长裤也建议穿。
