点评:Ok, so this is rated the best mountain hike by most everyone, and I can definitely see why. But before I go any further, this is a very difficult, followed by very POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS hike. It's a beautiful flat trail at first, through forest, greenery, very peaceful and serene. Then it's a very steep climb up literally more than 6000 ft on a bunch of switchbacks, that are very easy to slip on/from. But if you're in shape, it's totally doable, just a work out. We wore regular walking shoes, no walking sticks, we definitely had a lot of water and snack bars. It was cold in the morning, so we had on a bunch of layers, but we stripped off those layers quick once we got to climbing. What's great is that about 3/4 of the way up, there is a gorgeous view of Crescent lake which you can sit on a rock and enjoy. The rest of the way requires maneuvering up and around boulders on a very narrow path at extremely high elevation with very steep sides in that if you slip and fall, you're not gonna make it. Then you need to belay yourself up the mountain side using a rope afixed to a fallen tree branch a few times over to get to the top to see the truly gorgeous full view. I did not make it up that far - I stopped where there was literally only inches of ground for me to step on separating me from a rock wall and air. I love my life too much to be doing that! My fiance made it the full way though and he said although it was potentially dangerous and he felt like he did without much issue. So just be warned that it is a truly magnificent hike in every way, but DONT do it if you're not looking for something truly risky, and I really would not recommend elderly, unfit, or children attempt it.
翻译:好吧,大多数人都认为这是最好的山地徒步旅行,我绝对明白为什么。但在我进一步讨论之前,这是一次非常困难的徒步旅行,接下来是非常危险的徒步旅行。一开始是一条美丽平坦的小路,穿过森林、绿树成荫,非常平和、安详。然后是一段非常陡峭的攀登,海拔超过 6000 英尺,有很多之字形道路,非常容易滑倒。但如果你身体健康,这是完全可行的,只是锻炼一下。我们穿着普通的步行鞋,没有手杖,我们肯定有很多水和小吃店。早上天气很冷,所以我们穿了很多层衣服,但一旦开始攀登,我们很快就把这些层衣服脱掉了。最棒的是,爬到大约3/4的高度时,可以看到月牙湖的美丽景色,你可以坐在岩石上欣赏。剩下的路需要在一条非常狭窄的道路上攀爬并绕过巨石,海拔极高,而且两侧非常陡峭,如果你滑倒,你就无法成功。然后,您需要用一根绳子固定在倒下的树枝上几次,将自己固定在山边,才能到达山顶,欣赏真正美丽的全景。我没能走到那么远——我停在了距离岩壁和空气仅几英寸的地方,可供我踩踏。我太热爱我的生活了,不能这么做!我的未婚夫完成了全程,他说虽然这有潜在的危险,但他觉得他没有太大问题。因此,请注意,从各方面来看,这都是一次真正精彩的徒步旅行,但如果您不是在寻找真正有风险的东西,请不要这样做,而且我真的不建议老年人、身体不适的人或儿童尝试它。
