点评:What a beautiful place! We parked at the Basin trailhead right off the highway and it was less than 5 minutes to the Basin itself. It was a flat and easy walk. My family and I enjoyed watching the water rush down and around the Basin but the real treat was following the trail up and to the left, the Basin Cascades trail to Kinsman Falls. It was a moderate hike - moderately steep with lots of roots (easy enough for 2 novice adults and our 8 and 11 year old kids) - but only took about 10 minutes to reach a stunningly beautiful waterfall. It had poured rain all day the day before, so the waterfall was probably more impressive than it usually is in August. But, what a view! We have done much longer and more difficult hikes to get to much less impressive falls (I'm thinking of Arethusa in particular). We only spent about 10 minutes here because it was starting to get dark, but I can't wait to go back, maybe with a picnic lunch next time.
翻译:多么漂亮的地方!我们把车停在高速公路旁的盆地步道起点,距离盆地本身不到 5 分钟路程。这是一段平坦而轻松的步行路程。我和我的家人很喜欢看水流奔流而下并绕过盆地,但真正的享受是沿着小路向上和向左走,沿着盆地瀑布小道到达金斯曼瀑布。这是一次中等程度的徒步旅行——坡度适中,有很多树根(对于 2 个新手成年人和我们 8 岁和 11 岁的孩子来说足够容易了)——但只花了大约 10 分钟就到达了一个令人惊叹的美丽瀑布。前一天下了一整天的雨,所以瀑布可能比八月的平时更令人印象深刻。但是,多么美好的景色啊!我们进行了更长、更困难的徒步旅行,到达了不那么令人印象深刻的瀑布(我特别想到了 Arethusa)。我们只在这里呆了大约 10 分钟,因为天已经开始黑了,但我迫不及待地想回去,也许下次可以带上野餐午餐。
