点评:Overall, the park was well kept and a great experience! There are several falls all in a moderate hike. We started at the main pavilion/swimming area and walked to Cow Shed Falls. It’s breathtaking and if you can’t do a long hike, definitely just go see this one fall. It’s just a few hundred feet after the bridge at the swimming area. Next we drove up to the Upper Shelter Area parking to skip the 150 stair climb. Bonus, there’s additional bathrooms up there! The hike goes right along the creek and crosses back and forth several times. There are stairs and hills but it was gradual enough that we weren’t exhausted. There are countless photo opportunities as the creek meanders through the gorge. We walked all the way up to the dam (which was interesting but not very protected on the water holding side as you cross— hold on to your kids!!). We also continued on to the last waterfall you can only see if you do the waterfall loop. It was a big waterfall but it was hard to view with the foliage—if you need to skip something, skip this. There were multiple friendly rangers walking around maintaining the park. We talked to them and joked about spending some of the admission money on fixing the potholes in the road, haha, but they said they’re redoing the bridges, so yay for improvements! Definitely not crowded on this day.
翻译:总体而言,公园维护得很好,体验非常棒!只需进行一段适度的徒步,就能看到好几处瀑布。我们从主亭子/游泳区出发,步行前往牛棚瀑布。那景色令人叹为观止;如果体力有限、无法进行长途徒步,也绝对值得专门去看看这一处瀑布——它就在游泳区那座桥后几百英尺处。之后我们驱车前往上方的避雨亭停车场,从而省去了攀爬150级台阶的辛苦。另外,那里还有额外的洗手间,真是惊喜所在!这条徒步路线沿着溪流前行,途中多次来回穿越溪流。路上有台阶和小山坡,但坡度较为和缓,我们并没有感到筋疲力尽。溪流蜿蜒穿过峡谷,沿途有无数绝佳的拍照机会。我们一路走到了大坝处——虽然大坝本身挺有意思,但从过水侧走上去时缺乏安全防护措施,一定要看紧孩子哦!!之后我们又继续前行,抵达了只有走完整个瀑布环线才能看到的最后一处瀑布。那是一处很大的瀑布,但由于周围树木繁茂,很难看清楚——如果非得跳过某个景点不可的话,那就跳过这里吧。有好几位态度友善的护林员在园中巡逻、维护公园环境。我们和他们聊了几句,还开玩笑说应该用部分门票收入来修补路上的坑洼,哈哈。不过他们说正在重新修建桥梁,真是令人欣慰的改进啊!那天公园里也完全不拥挤。
