点评:This is an amazing hike. Difficult, but worth it for the amazing views and just the experience overall. To get to this trail you must either book a parking reservation on the Hawaii state park website or take a shuttle bus. I chose to book a parking reservation as we had six people and the total cost for us was $40 to park versus $40 per person for the shuttle bus. The open parking spots one month in advance at midnight Kauai time and they fill up in like one minute so you need to be quick if you want to save money and also park right at the entrance to the trail.
Once on the hike just get ready for scenic views and a difficult trail. My family are all active people and in good health and my kids are 16,19, and 21 so for us it was just a great workout. If you have little kids or elderly parents I would seriously consider whether or not they can make the trek.
Our parking reservation was 12:30 to 4:30pm so we started the hike in the midday sun. It was a gorgeous, sunny day with clear skies so we got amazing views of the coast as we walked along. The hike ends at Hanakapi'ai Beach which is known for intense waves, but the day we were there it wasn't too bad.
Overall highly recommend this hike if you enjoy working out and getting amazing photo ops at the same time!!
翻译:这是一次精彩的徒步旅行。虽然有些艰难,但为了沿途的美景和整体体验,这一切都值得。要到达这条步道,您必须在夏威夷州立公园的网站上预订停车位,或者乘坐接驳车。我选择预订停车位,因为我们一共六个人,我们的停车费是40美元,而接驳车的费用是每人40美元。停车位提前一个月在考艾岛时间午夜开放,大约一分钟就会停满,所以如果您想省钱,并且把车停在步道入口处,就必须快速停车。
一旦踏上徒步之旅,就准备好迎接美丽的景色和艰难的步道吧。我的家人都精力充沛,身体健康,我的孩子们分别是16岁、19岁和21岁,所以对我们来说,这真是一次很棒的锻炼。如果您有小孩或年迈的父母,我会认真考虑他们是否能参加这次徒步旅行。
我们的停车位预订时间是下午12:30到4:30,所以我们在正午的阳光下开始了徒步旅行。那天阳光明媚,万里无云,我们一边漫步,一边欣赏着海岸的壮丽景色。徒步的终点是哈纳卡皮艾海滩,那里以海浪猛烈而闻名,但我们去的那天,海浪还算不错。
总而言之,如果你喜欢锻炼身体,同时又想拍出精彩的照片,强烈推荐这次徒步!
