点评:When our cruise ship docked in Newport, RI, my husband and I did the scenic Cliff Walk on our own. It took about 30 minutes to walk from the port to the beginning of the trail. Along the way, we passed St. Mary’s Parish, where John and Jacqueline Kennedy got married in 1953.
The Cliff Walk is about 3.5 miles – most of the path was easy, but there were some parts that were challenging. It requires walking over large boulders and loose rocks. I had to put away my camera because I need both hands to navigate.
We saw many beautiful mansions along the shore. The only one we recognized was The Breakers, the 70-room summer residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt, but all were just as impressive. The Cliff Walk ended at the Bellevue Avenue where we then headed back towards the pier.
If you like to hike, then Cliff Walk is for you. It’s free and there’s public bathroom near the Forty Steps stone stairs. We walked close to 27,000 steps that day :D
翻译:当我们的游轮停靠在罗德岛州纽波特时,我和丈夫独自踏上了风景优美的悬崖步道。从港口步行到步道起点大约需要 30 分钟。沿途,我们经过了圣玛丽教区,约翰和杰奎琳·肯尼迪于 1953 年在此结婚。
悬崖步道长约 3.5 英里——大部分路程都很容易,但有些路段具有挑战性。它需要走过大块巨石和松散的岩石。我不得不收起相机,因为我需要双手才能导航。
我们在海岸边看到了许多美丽的豪宅。我们唯一认出的是 The Breakers,这是 Cornelius Vanderbilt 的 70 个房间的夏季住宅,但所有豪宅都同样令人印象深刻。悬崖步道在贝尔维尤大道结束,然后我们回到码头。
如果您喜欢徒步旅行,那么悬崖步道适合您。它是免费的,四十级石阶附近有公共卫生间。那天我们走了近 27,000 步 :D
