点评:Have been looking to this trip for the past year. friend and I went to Zion national Park this past weekend had some hiccups with Mount Carmel pass being closed and delayed Our arrival over 1.5 hrs .because maps sent unknowingly to the wrong entrance and we didn’t notice so we to go around .no big deal but consequences arriving at 9:30 am was parking , which we ended up having to pay for. no big deal at least we got it. We waited in line at the entrance then 45 minutes for the shuttle service to take everyone to trailheads . We tackled Scouts Lookout going up wasn’t to bad . Definitely the switchbacks ( Walter’s wiggle ) are a heart beat raiser. Advise: don’t rush it’s not a race, lots of breaks , 2 to 3 litters of water and pack a protein snack! Go as early as possible to avoid bigger crowds and the sun. Check out AllTrails for smaller less crowded trail within Zion! Overall Zion is spectacular no matter what trail you take.
翻译:过去一年里,我一直期待着这次旅行。上周末,我和朋友去了锡安国家公园。途中遇到了一些小状况:卡梅尔山隘口封闭,导致我们迟到了一个半小时。原来是我们收到的地图上标注的入口有误,而我们没注意到,所以不得不绕路。虽然没什么大不了的,但后果就是我们早上9点半才到达,这时停车场已经需要付费才能进入,不过好在我们还是停上了车。我们在入口处排队,等了45分钟才轮到接驳车把大家送到徒步起点。我们选择了“Scouts Lookout”这条路线,上山过程倒不算太艰难。不过那些之字形蜿蜒的路段(也就是所谓的“Walter’s Wiggle”)确实让人心跳加速。建议:别着急,这不是比赛;途中多休息几次,带上2到3升水以及富含蛋白质的零食!尽量早点出发,以避开人群和烈日。还可以上AllTrails网站查找锡安国家公园内那些人少、没那么拥挤的小径哦!总的来说,无论走哪条步道,锡安国家公园都美得令人惊叹。
