点评:Clearly, Yosemite is not to be missed as a place to visit in life. The views didn’t disappoint. We travelled from 3h away very early in the morning, reaching the car park at Yosemite Lodge by 8am & the car parks were filling up at that point (August). Highly recommend getting there no later than 08:30! Expect crowds!
A shuttle bus goes around each of the car parks so it doesn’t matter which one you park at, you can reach the start point for your walk very easily.
Note in August that any of the “water” places to visit may not have water - Yosemite lower falls and Mirror Lake were dried up when we were there.
Glacier Point walk from four mile trailhead is a walk like walking up Snowdon - so have the right kit!
Negative of our trip was one of the shuttle bus drivers (the only female driver we saw there on August 11th if that narrows it down!) who spent most of her shift actually SHOUTING at visitors doing the “wrong thing” e.g. getting on the bus through the wrong door, not shuffling down the bus far enough, telling kids off for not sitting down (rather than just asking the parents politely to sit their kids down!). I got off a bus later in the afternoon a stop early just to escape her bus, her behaviour was absolutely ridiculous for someone driving a tourist bus around representing Yosemite national park!
翻译:显然,约塞米蒂绝对是一生中值得一去的地方。那里的景色绝对不会让人失望。我们清晨3点钟就从远处出发,早上8点前就到了约塞米蒂旅舍的停车场——当时停车场已经开始拥挤了(8月份)。强烈建议最迟在8点半前抵达!预计会有很多人哦!
有穿梭巴士往返于各个停车场之间,因此无论你把车停在哪里,都能轻松到达徒步起点。需要注意的是,八月份时那些标有“水域”的景点可能根本没有水——我们去的时候,约塞米蒂的下瀑布和镜湖都干涸了。
从四英里步道起点出发前往冰川点的路程,类似于攀登斯诺登山——因此一定要带上合适的装备!
这次旅行中令人不悦的一点是:有一位穿梭巴士司机(8月11日我们在那里见到的唯一女司机!这样应该能锁定是她了)几乎整个轮班时间都在对做出“不当行为”的游客大喊大叫。从错误的车门上车、在公交车上坐得不够靠后、训斥那些没坐好的小孩(而不是直接礼貌地请家长让孩子坐下!)。下午晚些时候,为了躲开她,我在提前一站下了车。对于一个负责驾驶旅游巴士、代表着约塞米蒂国家公园的形象的人来说,她的举止实在荒谬至极!
