点评:This hike was absolutely amazing and a bucket list item for our family. We read the warning on the website and were a bit concerned, especially because our daughter had broken her finger the previous day’s hike, but we decided to check it out anyway and said we would turn back if needed. There wasn’t a ton of people, maybe 20 total while we hiked, which was nice for photos and allowed us to take our time. We were alone the entire way down from 2nd falls
Our family is on the tall side (range 5’10-6’3) and water never went above our knees. Most of the hike, the water is ankle to calf deep. Water is fairly swift, but not intense. We saw people ranging in age from 4 years old to +\- 70. Some women even had smaller children on their backs.
My kids wore Chacos and my husband and I wore wool socks with tennis shoes. Both worked well. Four of us (41, 43, 21, 19) had walking sticks and my son (16) chose not to. Both worked according to our capabilities, but walking sticks were definitely nice to have.
We reached the first falls and then the large boulder, which is a bit more difficult, but definitely doable to traverse. We hiked to the second falls and we’re the only ones up there. We would have felt totally comfortable going to the third waterfall, but due to time, we turned back.
Hike was a wonderful experience, the perfect amount of challenge, and worth it!
Oh and we didn’t see any rattle snakes, but did see one snake in the water, but he quickly slithered away.
翻译:这次徒步旅行绝对令人惊叹,并且是我们家庭的遗愿清单项目。我们阅读了网站上的警告并有点担心,特别是因为我们的女儿在前一天的徒步旅行中摔断了手指,但我们还是决定检查一下,并表示如果需要我们会返回。没有很多人,我们徒步旅行时总共可能有 20 人,这很适合拍照,让我们可以慢慢来。从第 2 次跌倒开始,我们一路孤身一人
我们家身高偏高(身高 5'10-6'3),水从未超过我们的膝盖。大部分徒步旅行,水深到脚踝到小腿。水流相当迅速,但并不强烈。我们看到的人年龄从 4 岁到 +\- 70 岁不等。有些妇女甚至背着更小的孩子。
我的孩子们穿着 Chacos,我丈夫和我穿着羊毛袜搭配网球鞋。两者都运作良好。我们四个人(41、43、21、19)有手杖,我儿子(16 岁)选择不带。两者都根据我们的能力工作,但手杖绝对是不错的选择。
我们到达了第一个瀑布,然后是大石头,这有点困难,但绝对可以穿越。我们徒步到第二个瀑布,我们是那里唯一的人。去第三个瀑布我们会觉得很舒服,但由于时间关系,我们折返了。
徒步旅行是一次美妙的体验,完美的挑战,值得!
哦,我们没有看到任何响尾蛇,但确实看到水中有一条蛇,但它很快就溜走了。
