点评:I visited McDowell Creek Falls decades ago for a quick hike and to take some pictures. We decided to take a drive for the day and head here to see what it was like now.
We arrived to a very busy and almost full parking lot, making us think the trails were going to be incredibly busy. Luckily, most were just using the picnic tables and walking to some falls that are close to the parking area. We grabbed our water and started on the trails.
The trails are well-groomed and easy to walk on. One of the great parts is there are trails for easy-walking, and others that will challenge your legs! If you want to hike to the top of the triple falls, you will get a nice view from above.
We kept hiking and ended up on the loop back to the parking area. I believe there are a couple more falls we may have missed, but we would have needed more water for sure.
If you want a place to take a nice hike for the day, add this one to your list.
翻译:几十年前,我曾到访过麦克道尔溪瀑布,当时只是为了快速徒步和拍照。这次我们决定开车来这里一日游,看看它现在是什么样子。
我们到达时,停车场非常拥挤,几乎停满了车,让我们担心步道上的人也会很多。幸运的是,大多数人只是在野餐桌旁休息,然后步行前往停车场附近的几个瀑布。我们带上水,开始徒步。
步道维护得很好,走起来很轻松。这里的一大优点是,既有适合轻松漫步的步道,也有可以挑战腿部力量的步道!如果你想爬到三重瀑布的顶端,就能欣赏到美丽的景色。
我们继续徒步,最后沿着环形路线返回停车场。我想我们可能错过了几个瀑布,但那样的话,我们肯定需要更多的水。
如果你想找个地方进行一日徒步旅行,不妨把这里列入你的行程清单。
