点评:Great trip. We arrived at approximately 8 am and made our way towards the entrance of the park. The park was huge, and contained multiple different parking lots, that were scattered throughout the park. We opted to hike two different trails in the park. We started our day by hiking the Gorge Overlook Loop, which was a roughly 1.4 mile loop trail around the park. The trail consisted of walking through a forest, with occasional views of the Mohican river. This trail was difficult in nature, as it contained multiple steep uphill and downhill sections. At one point we did have to climb a small ladder in order to stay on the trail. We were able to enjoy picturesque scenic views of the forest from above. The second trail we opted to hike was the Covered Bridge and Lyons Falls via Pleasant Hill, which was a roughly 2.3 mile loop trail around the park. This trail mostly took us through the forest as well, with the midpoint section of the trail containing a dam. There were multiple inclines and declines on this trail, along with several staircases. We were unable to see the waterfall due to the seasonal drought in the area. In between hiking these two trails, we opted to stop and explore the fire tower. We were able to climb up the steps of the fire tower, however the viewing platform was locked and we did not get the best views of the area. We also snapped some great pictures of the covered bridge and drove across it.
Tip: I recommend spending 3 hours here (more if you want to do more hiking or water activities).
翻译:很棒的旅程!我们大约早上8点到达,然后朝公园入口走去。公园很大,有多个停车场,散布在公园各处。我们选择了公园里的两条不同的徒步路线。我们首先徒步了峡谷观景环路(Gorge Overlook Loop),这是一条环绕公园约1.4英里(约2.2公里)的环形步道。这条步道需要穿过一片森林,偶尔还能看到莫希干河的景色。这条步道难度较大,包含多个陡峭的上坡和下坡路段。我们一度不得不爬上一个小梯子才能继续走下去。我们得以从上方欣赏到森林的如画美景。我们选择的第二条徒步路线是途经普莱森特山(Pleasant Hill)的廊桥和莱昂斯瀑布(Covered Bridge and Lyons Falls),这是一条环绕公园约2.3英里(约3.7公里)的环形步道。这条步道大部分路段也穿过森林,中段有一座水坝。步道上有多个上坡和下坡路段,以及几段楼梯。由于该地区季节性干旱,我们没能看到瀑布。在徒步这两条路线的间隙,我们选择停下来探索一下瞭望塔。我们爬上了瞭望塔的台阶,但观景台被锁上了,我们没能拍到最佳的景色。我们还拍了一些廊桥的精彩照片,然后开车穿过了它。
小贴士:我建议在这里待上3个小时(如果您想进行更多徒步旅行或水上活动,可以更长一些)。
