点评:After reading all the positive reviews, we made a point to stop at Fillmore Glen to do the Gorge trail. It was so beautiful, loved all the bridges and we saw 2 waterfalls. The trail is closed after bridge 7 so it's a relatively short walk (2 mi out and back). We did not do the 135 stone steps at the beginning tho! Luckily I found these directions that enabled up to bypass the steps and do an easier version of the hike:
"When driving into the park, stay to the right past the initial parking lot and head up the Park Road a little ways. You’ll soon come across another small parking lot for the Upper shelter area. . And across the way is another access trail to reach the gorge trail. There are restrooms at the Upper Shelter. The Gorge Trail starts to the left of rest rooms. (South Rim starts to right of rest rooms). There’s a bit of an uphill climb from here but you’ll bypass all the steps and most of the elevation gain. The trail is pretty easy from here."
After we did the Gorge trail we drove down to the main parking lot again and walked a short way past the main picnic pavilion and swimming area to see a 3rd waterfall -- Cowshed Falls.
翻译:看完所有好评后,我们特意在菲尔莫尔峡谷停留,体验了峡谷步道。那里风景优美,我们喜欢那里的所有桥梁,还看到了两处瀑布。步道在7号桥后关闭,所以步行距离相对较短(往返2英里)。不过,我们一开始没有爬135级石阶!幸运的是,我找到了这些路线指引,可以绕过石阶,走一条更轻松的徒步路线:
“开车进入公园后,经过最初的停车场后靠右行驶,沿着公园路往上走一小段。你很快就会看到另一个通往上层庇护所的小型停车场。路对面还有另一条通往峡谷步道的通道。上层庇护所设有洗手间。峡谷步道的起点在洗手间的左侧。(南缘的起点在洗手间的右侧)。从这里开始有一段上坡路,但你可以绕过所有石阶和大部分海拔高度。从这里开始,步道就相当容易了。”
走完峡谷小径后,我们再次开车到主停车场,走过主野餐亭和游泳区一小段路,看到了第三个瀑布——牛棚瀑布。
