点评:We were here in early August. We hiked to the lake and then all the way up and to the back of the lake. Thie hike was around 3.5 miles each way and many people we saw on the trail should not be hiking that far. It has some steep areas and takes some physical ability. The trail is about 70 percent shaded.
When you arrive at the lake everyone stops at the first section of sand you get to. This area was way too crowded and full of crying kids and arguing parents. We continued on the trail to the back of the lake where maybe 10 other people were there. Here it was peaceful and calm. We fished and caught 5 trout (Fly Fishing). There are a couple small creeks that feed into the lake and this is a great spot to spend some time. Pack a small folding chair and get wet on a hit day.
The views are amazing of the clear water and tall mountains on all sides. I suggest doing the hike in late evening when the setting sun lights up the background. We came early and the mountains were in the shadows and did not look as good as later in the day.
The trail around the lake is very easy. The trail up and down and down is crowded and can get steep for some. Bring water and proper snacks and gear if you have any doubts of your ability. We passed people on the way up, and two hours later on our way down, we passed the same people still trying to get up. If you are not in decent shape, you may want to skip this. When we were done, we did over 7 miles.
We enjoyed the hike and fishing. This is a good 3-4 hour stop for us and we hiked fast. Maybe bring water shoes so you can enjoy the water at the top. I suggest going past the first spot and head to the back of the lake.
翻译:我们在八月初来过这里。我们徒步走到湖边,然后继续沿着路走到湖的背面。这段徒步路程单程约3.5英里,我们发现很多走在路上的人其实并不适合走这么远的路。沿途有一些陡峭的路段,需要一定的体力才能完成。整条步道大约有70%的区域有树荫遮蔽。
到达湖边后,所有人都会在遇到的第一片沙滩处停下来。不过那个区域实在太拥挤了,到处都是哭闹的孩童和争吵的家长。我们沿着小径继续前行,来到了湖的背面,那里还有大约10个人。这里宁静祥和。我们进行了飞钓,钓到了5条鳟鱼。有几条小溪汇入湖中,这里是个非常适合消磨时光的好地方。带上一把折叠小椅子,在阳光明媚的日子里来此尽情享受吧。
湖水清澈见底,四周群山耸立,景色美不胜收。我建议在傍晚时分来徒步,此时落日余晖将四周的山景映衬得格外迷人。我们来得很早,那时群山还笼罩在阴影中,看起来不如白天晚些时候那么壮观。
环湖步道非常平缓易行。而上下山的路则人很多,对有些人来说可能会有些陡峭。如果你对自己的体力没把握,记得带上水、合适的零食以及必要的装备。上山时我们遇到了一些人,两小时后下山时,我们又遇到了同样那些人,他们仍在努力往上爬。如果你的体能状况不佳,或许还是不要走这条路线为好。我们走完之后……我们走了7英里多。
我们很享受这次徒步和钓鱼。对我们来说,这是个非常适合停留3到4个小时的好地方,而且我们走得很快。建议带上涉水鞋,这样就能尽情享受湖边的水了。我建议越过第一个地点,继续往湖的深处走去。
