点评:Just what I was looking for in a hike. Being from WI my idea of easy and a mountain state idea of easy are two entirely different things. This was a WI easy hike, - fairly flat, minimal elevation, minimal rocks and roots, plenty of shade. It was BEAUTIFUL. Went along the Icicle Creek river with several waterfalls, interesting vegetation, some small wildlife, a lovely breeze, and only 4 miles total (about 2 hours). Several signs along the trail give nice info about the area. We missed the wildflowers though. We also did one half of the Icicle Ridge Trail #1570. Only 4 miles total (again we only made it 1/2 way) but what a different experience. Listed as moderate but switchbacks along the entire trail. Beautiful and wish we could have made it to the top for the views. What we did see was lovely but the switchbacks got the better of this 72 year old woman. :-)
翻译:这正是我心目中理想的远足路线。我来自威斯康星州,对我来说“轻松易行”的标准,与山区地区对“轻松易行”的定义截然不同。这条路线在威斯康星州看来确实算得上是轻松的——地势相当平坦,海拔变化不大,几乎没有石子或树根,沿途树荫密布。景色美极了!沿着冰柱溪前行,沿途有多处瀑布、有趣的植被,还能看到一些小动物;微风拂面,令人心旷神怡。全程仅4英里左右,耗时约2小时。沿途还有许多指示牌,提供了关于该区域的实用信息。不过我们没能看到野花。我们还走了冰柱岭步道#1570的一半路程。全程只有4英里(不过我们也只走到了一半),但体验真是大不相同。这条步道被列为中等难度,不过整条路上都是之字形弯道。景色很美,真希望能走到山顶去欣赏风光。我们看到的景色已经很不错了,只是这些之字形弯道可难倒了我这位72岁的老太太呢。:-)
