点评:Did this hike a few days ago with my hubby and 2 teenage kids. We had been hiking regularly for a few months leading up to it but still found some challenges along this hike. The Devils stairs are probably the worst, if you have knee issues use poles and strap your knees. It took us about 8 hours to complete. We were picked up by our shuttle bus around 05.45 and started out walk around 06.30 but there was already quite a few people on the track. We stopped frequently to have snacks and drinks and we also had packed our lunch to have at the Emerald lakes. The scenery changes so much its amazing.
The climb down from the red crater is quite daunting and you really need good hiking shoes. Also layers of clothing are needed even in summer, weather conditions change quickly and it was quite cold and windy going up to the red crater. Lastly remember to put on SPF.
翻译:几天前,我和老公带着两个十几岁的孩子一起完成了这次徒步。虽然之前几个月我们一直在坚持徒步,但这次的行程仍然颇具挑战性。魔鬼阶梯(Devil's Stairs)可能是最难走的一段,如果你膝盖有问题,一定要用登山杖,并且用绷带固定膝盖。我们花了大约8个小时才走完。早上5点45分左右,我们乘坐接驳巴士出发,大约6点半开始徒步,但那时步道上已经有不少人了。我们经常停下来吃零食喝水,还带了午餐,准备在翡翠湖(Emerald Lakes)吃。沿途的风景变化万千,令人惊叹。
从红色火山口(Red Crater)下来的路相当陡峭,你真的需要一双好的徒步鞋。即使在夏天,也需要多穿几层衣服,因为天气变化很快,上火山口的时候又冷又刮风。最后,别忘了涂抹防晒霜。
