点评:This was a beautiful hike and worth the hour and twenty minute drive from Denver. The worst part of the drive, as others have commented, is the last 8 miles on Rampart Range Road. It's a dirt/gravel road with wash-boarding and some areas where substantial potholes can sneak up on you. We had a rental SUV and were fine keeping it in front wheel drive, but be prepared for slow going (20-30 mph) for the last 8 miles of the trip. There are bathrooms in the parking lot, but none along the trail or at the top. The hike itself is a consistent climb of switchbacks until you reach the tower, which is up about 140 steps. The trail is a moderate undertaking, especially if you have not already acclimated yourself to any change in altitude like us (we came straight from the airport). That said, we drank plenty of water, had no issues, and the views (and breeze) at the top were well worth it. Highly recommend.
翻译:这是一次美丽的徒步旅行,值得从丹佛开车一个小时二十分钟。正如其他人所说,这趟车最糟糕的部分是最后 8 英里的 Rampart Range Road。这是一条泥土/碎石路,路面起伏不平,有些地方坑洼不平,可能会让您措手不及。我们租了一辆 SUV,前轮驱动没问题,但要做好最后 8 英里行驶缓慢(20-30 英里/小时)的准备。停车场有卫生间,但沿途和山顶都没有。徒步旅行本身就是一段不断的之字形攀爬,直到您到达塔楼,大约需要爬 140 级台阶。这条路难度适中,特别是如果您像我们一样还没有适应海拔变化(我们直接从机场过来)。尽管如此,我们喝了很多水,没有出现任何问题,山顶的景色(和微风)非常值得。高度推荐。
