点评:The trail out to the bridge and back begins on an easy concrete path that descends down to an overlook of a lava bed.
From there, the trail continues onto a moderately difficult section which requires good shoes as hikers walk along the uneven lava bed with the assistance of a railing, then down a steel stairway before heading through a rocky area with uneven rock stairs and stones. This leads down through some foliage to the river where the water flows through the canyon rocks. Many mosquitos down there. Wear repellant.
The suspension bridge is a minute or two away, but closed indefinitely for repairs, so the difficult trail through the canyon crevice is not accessible.
At this point, hikers must turn around and head back up and out the way they came.
A $5 recreation pass or the Northwest Forest Pass is needed for parking. Includes the Ape Cave parking as well.
It's nice and worth a stop if you're in the area and headed to Ape Cave.
翻译:通往桥梁再返回的步道起始于一条平缓的混凝土小径,这条小径向下延伸可到达一处俯瞰熔岩床的观景台。从那里开始,步道进入一段难度适中的路段——徒步者需要穿着合适的鞋子,沿着由栏杆辅助指引的不平整熔岩床前行;随后需走下一段钢制楼梯,再穿过布满高低不平石阶与石块的岩石区。最后,穿过一片植被后便抵达河流所在处,河水正沿着峡谷中的岩石间流淌。那里的蚊子很多,记得涂抹驱蚊剂。
悬索桥离此只有一两分钟路程,但目前因维修而无限期关闭,因此穿过峡谷裂隙的艰难小径也无法通行。
此时,徒步者必须折返,原路返回。
停车需要购买5美元的娱乐通行证,或者使用西北森林通行证,该凭证也适用于猿猴洞停车区。
如果你身处该区域且打算前往猿猴洞,这里绝对值得一逛。
