点评:To say this park is gorgeous is an understatement! The trails are clearly marked and there are so many of them to choose from. I'd definitely recommend having bear spray with you. After my husband and I found a small waterfall with a rock pool, we started talking with a woman and her daughter who had been up on the rim trail. One side is a drop and the other is rock wall, they came upon a black bear using the path with no way to turn other than backing up. They were fine as they backed up slowly and made their way down to where we were. The trails we chose were moderate and we loved every minute of our hikes. The ancient sedimentary and volcanic rocks formed by massive floods and volcanic eruptions millions of years before the Ice Age are massive and were carried to the area by catastrophic floods and rushing ancient river systems. I'm always amazed by the geology of where we hike and these trail don't disappoint! On another note, the $10 fee to park is a small price to pay for such beauty!.
翻译:说这个公园美不胜收都算是轻描淡写了!这里的步道标识清晰,可供选择的路线也多不胜数。我强烈建议大家都带上防熊喷雾。后来,我和丈夫发现了一处有岩石环绕的小瀑布,接着便与一位带着女儿、刚刚走完边缘步道的女士聊了起来。那条步道一侧是悬崖,另一侧是石壁,她们遇到了一只正沿着步道行走的黑熊,除了往后退别无他法。它们慢慢后退着,然后朝我们所在的位置移动过来,表现得相当温顺。我们选择的步道难度适中,我们享受着徒步过程中的每一分钟。这些古老的沉积岩和火山岩形成于冰河时代之前的数百万年,是由大规模洪水与火山喷发所形成的;它们又通过灾难性的洪水以及古老的河流系统被带到了这一地区。我总是为我们徒步地点的地质景观所折服,而这些步道也绝对不会让人失望! 另外,停车需要支付10美元,但为了欣赏如此美景,这点费用也值得了!
