点评:We brought our lunch; started in Gatlinburg. Wanted to see Elk and were not disappointed. We took the nature trail and our 6 & 9 year old grandchildren, were a bit afraid when an Elk decided to cross the river, walk past us and lay down about 10 yards away. It was a good teaching moment on how to act around wild animals. The river trail is a great hike, the old buildings the kids loved. The chickens added a lot also. I did not appreciate owners with dogs roaming the area and harassing the chickens., , leave your dogs home, , this is a nature area. We were allowed to eat our picnic lunch on the raised outside deck, with the great view it was a good rest before heading to Mingo falls. The Building and restrooms are very nice and clean. Then too our surprise we got to see Elk along the road and Wild Turkeys as we headed back to Gatlinburg. A great day.
翻译:我们自带了午餐,从加特林堡出发。我们想看麋鹿,果然没让我们失望。我们沿着自然步道走了一段,我们6岁和9岁的孙子孙女有点害怕,因为一只麋鹿决定过河,从我们身边走过,然后躺在离我们大约10码远的地方。这正好给了他们一个学习如何与野生动物相处的好机会。河边步道很棒,孩子们很喜欢那些古老的建筑。鸡群也增添了不少乐趣。我不喜欢那些带着狗在附近闲逛、骚扰鸡群的主人。请把狗留在家里,这里是自然保护区。我们被允许在户外的高台上享用野餐午餐,欣赏着美景,在前往明戈瀑布之前好好休息了一下。建筑物和洗手间都非常漂亮干净。更让我们惊喜的是,我们在返回加特林堡的路上又看到了麋鹿和野火鸡。真是美好的一天!
