点评:My son and I did this in a beautiful day in July. I’m 65 but in decent shape. We arrived around noon and were lucky to get a parking spot on one way road past main parking lot. There was an hour long line to get into the park that day. We did it clockwise which makes for a steep difficult uphill but gorgeous views. We went to glacier vista too then rejoined the skyline trail. At times this trail became rocky with some sliding rocks so not easy. This is a strenuous hike. I advise hiking boots, poles, water and snacks. It was totally worth it. We saw a lot of wildlife including a bear quite close to the paved trail at the beginning which crossed the trail in spite of a lot of people. We took the Golden Gate back which was relatively easy and wanted to get back. We arrived at car at 5 pm. There is a lot of debate on which direction to go. The steep with loose rocks scares me. I prefer to do it going uphill than downhill. I prefer it early in the hike when I’m less tired. Unfortunately we did miss out on part of the trail . If we had started earlier in the day I probably would have gone the whole way. I can’t imagine doing the steep parts with snow on the trail,
翻译:我和儿子在七月的一个晴天完成了这次徒步。我今年65岁,身体状况还不错。我们中午左右到达,很幸运地在主停车场后面的一条单行道上找到了停车位。那天,进入公园需要排一个小时的队。我们按照顺时针方向行走,这段路虽然陡峭艰难,但景色美不胜收。我们还去了“冰川观景台”,之后又重新回到天际线步道上。途中有一些路段布满岩石,还有不少容易滑动的石块,因此并不轻松。这是一次颇具挑战性的徒步之旅。我建议带上远足靴、登山杖、水和零食。这一切绝对值得。我们看到了很多野生动物,包括在起点处离步行道很近的一只熊——尽管周围有很多人,它还是穿过了小径。我们沿着金门步道返回,这段路相对容易些,我们也急于赶回家。下午5点我们回到了车旁。关于该走哪个方向,存在很多争议。那些布满碎石的陡坡让我有些害怕。比起下坡,我更喜欢往上走。我更喜欢在徒步初期进行,那时我还没那么累。可惜的是,我们错过了部分路线。如果我们当天早点出发,我大概能走完全程。我实在无法想象在雪地里走那些陡峭的路段会是什么样子。
