Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve的点评

点评：This attraction combines a hike with viewing of fossils over 575 years old. You meet at the interpretive center and then you follow the guides in your own car to the trail head. There are flush toilets in the Centre; pit toilets (very clean) at the trail head. They make the hike sound more arduous than it actually is (e.g., don’t hike if you have asthma, a heart condition, bad knees, bad hips, etc,). I’m almost 72 and had a sore knee and I did fine. Two-thirds of the hike was along a narrow road, then the last 1 km was a narrower trail. Half the participants wore sneakers; the other half light hikers. You could wear sneakers, but there are some rocks and I prefer my light hiking boots on rocky trails. After hiking 3 km in, with interpretative stops along the way, you arrive at the cliffs with the fossils. You need to take your shoes off at that point. Our socks didn’t get wet because it was a dry day with no rain. We spent about 20-30 minutes at the fossil area. The hike out is at your own pace. Our two guides, Lisa and Mary Kay, were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun and the views are magnificent. It might not be so fun on a cold, rainy day because you are outside and exposed the entire time. Note: for reviewers that say this is a day trip out of St. John's, it's a long day trip, taking almost 2.5 hours to reach. A better bet would be to stay in Ferryland or nearby town for a few days to take in the southern sights.

翻译：这项活动结合了徒步旅行与观赏有575年以上历史的化石。参与者先在解说中心集合，随后驾驶自己的车辆跟随导游前往步道起点。解说中心内设有水冲式厕所；步道起点处则设有旱厕（非常干净）。他们把这次徒步描述为比实际更艰难（比如，患有哮喘、心脏病、膝盖或髋部有伤的人士不宜参加）。我快72岁了，膝盖也有些不适，但这次徒步对我来说完全没问题。徒步路程的三分之二都是沿着狭窄的公路行进，最后的1公里则是一条更窄的小径。一半的参与者穿的是运动鞋，另一半则穿的是轻型远足靴。虽然穿运动鞋也可以，但由于路上有不少石块，在这种路况下我还是更喜欢穿轻型远足靴。徒步3公里后，沿途还有多处讲解点，随后便会抵达布满化石的悬崖处。此时必须脱掉鞋子才能继续前行。由于当天天气干燥且无雨，我们的袜子也完全没有湿掉。我们在化石区停留了大约20到30分钟。返回的路程则可以随心所欲地控制节奏。我们的两位导游丽莎和玛丽·凯非常友善且知识渊博。我们玩得很开心，沿途的景色也美不胜收。不过在寒冷多雨的日子里可能就没那么有趣了，因为全程都需要在户外行走且毫无遮蔽。注意：对于那些说这是从圣约翰出发的一日游的评论者来说，这其实是一段漫长的一日游行程，抵达目的地需要近2.5个小时。更好的选择是在费里兰或附近的小镇上住上几天，好好游览南部的风景。
