点评:A challenging hike to get to the peak - Mt Le Conte, but you can also enjoy a hike without going all the way, as there is a shallow river and are lots of waterfalls for the first mile or two of the hike. There’s a national park lodge close to the top with cabins for rent (book in advance), they also have llamas that I think can also be rented to carry gear. They also sell some small snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. They also have a public bathroom and water spigot.
It is not a technical hike, but does have almost 3000 ft elevation gain. There are not really caves - unless we missed them, but there is a large rock that you walk under. There are a few parts that could be slightly slippery, but there were permanent metal wires installed to easily hold onto. It would be safe for supervised kids, but if young, you’d not want them to run too far ahead as there are large drop offs - often with the wire to hold if you need it - on a few parts of the trail.
The views from the top are breathtaking. We did encounter a black bear and two cubs on the way down, but with us making some noise and talking loudly to them, they turned around and walked away, and never appeared aggressive.
翻译:登上勒康特山山顶的徒步路线颇具挑战性,不过你也可以不必走到山顶,因为在前一两英里的路程中就有浅浅的河流以及众多瀑布可供欣赏。山顶附近有一家国家公园旅馆,提供可租赁的小木屋(需提前预订);那里还有骆驼,我觉得也可以租用它们来背负行李。旅馆还出售一些小零食、饮料和纪念品。此外,这里也有公共洗手间和自来水龙头。
这条徒步路线并无技术难度。不过,这条路线的海拔上升幅度接近3000英尺。这里其实并没有什么洞穴——除非我们没注意到;不过有一块大岩石,游客需要从其下方经过。有几处路面可能会有点滑,但沿途都安装了固定的金属缆绳以供抓握。在有人监护的情况下,孩子们走这条路线是安全的;不过如果孩子年龄还小,就不建议让他们跑得太远,因为沿途有几处陡峭的陡坡——这些地方也设有可抓握的缆绳。从山顶俯瞰的景色令人叹为观止。下山途中我们遇到了一只黑熊和两只幼崽,不过我们大声喧哗并跟它们说话后,它们便转身走开了,丝毫没有表现出攻击性。
