点评:I did this hike late in September. Based on reviews I read, I wasn't sure what to expect for the weather and whether the flowers would still be in bloom. The weather was perfect and there was still plenty of color all around. I chose to do this counterclockwise. It was definitely challenging. Would not recommend it for young children. Also, it was very crowded on a sunday. I got to the park at eight fifteen and had to wait an hour just to get through the gate. When I got to the parking area, the upper and lower lots were both full. So I had to go to the third lot, which is a picnic area below the lower lot. That added an uphill half mile hike, just to get to the visitor center. I started just before nine, and it took around five hours total. I stopped frequently on the uphill part, but almost not at all coming down. There are beautiful views at every turn and a variety of different scenery, depending on where you are.
翻译:我是在九月末进行的这次徒步。根据我读到的评论,我不确定当时的天气会怎样,也不确定花朵是否还会盛开。结果天气极佳,四周依然色彩斑斓。我选择逆时针方向徒步。这条路确实颇具挑战性。不建议带年幼的孩子走这条路线。另外,周日时这里人非常多。我八点十五分到达公园,却不得不等了一个小时才得以进入。当我到达停车场时……上下两个停车场都停满了车。因此我不得不前往第三个停车场,它位于下层停车场下方的一片野餐区。这样一来,我还得沿着上坡路步行半英里才能到达游客中心。我九点不到就开始出发,整个过程大约花了五个小时。上坡时我频繁停下休息,而下坡时则几乎没有停下来。无论走到哪里都能看到美丽的景色,而且随着所处位置的不同,周围的景致也各有特色。
