点评:We hiked a few different paths at Balcones. We started at the visitor center and picked up the junior ranger books for our kids. The rest of the day was spent hiking trails at both Warbler Vista and Doeskin Ranch. One thing we’ve learned is that the difficulty level trails are ranked in this area of Texas are not the same as other places we’ve hiked, like Zion, Bryce Canyon, Rocky Mountain National Park, etc.. We hiked the Rimrock Trail which was ranked as difficult at Doeskin Ranch easily with two children ages 10 and 8. They are used to hiking though. It does have a decent elevation change which is why they ranked it as difficult according to the ranger. Hike the trail counterclockwise going right at the beginning. That will take you up the steeper rocky part and down the more gradual path.
翻译:我们在巴尔科内斯徒步旅行了几条不同的小路。我们从游客中心出发,为我们的孩子们挑选了初级护林员书籍。这一天剩下的时间是在 Warbler Vista 和Doeskin Ranch 的远足小径上度过的。我们了解到的一件事是,德克萨斯州这个地区的步道难度等级排名与我们徒步旅行的其他地方不同,如锡安、布莱斯峡谷、落基山国家公园等。我们徒步了 Rimrock Trail对于两个 10 岁和 8 岁的孩子来说,Doeskin Ranch 的徒步难度很高。不过,他们已经习惯了徒步旅行。它确实有一个不错的海拔变化,这就是为什么他们根据护林员的说法将其列为困难的原因。从起点开始逆时针徒步。这将带您爬上更陡峭的岩石部分,然后沿着更平缓的路径走下去。
