点评:Our family of five (all adults) enjoyed the 2-plus mile hike into Cascade Canyon at Teton National Park in early June.
We opted to take the Jenny Lake boat shuttle for $20 each rather than hiking the Jenny Lake Trail to reach the trailhead to Cascade Canyon. Please note that the boat is very busy (we arrived at 7:45 a.m. and waited to board the second boat of the morning at about 9:15 a.m.). That said, our legs were fresh for the hike when we arrived off the boat. A tip, aim to return to the boat landing shortly after lunch to avoid the extremely long lines which accumulate later in the afternoon.
The hike to Hidden Falls and then Inspiration Point and then Cascade Canyon is filled with countless photo opportunities. The most difficult part of the hike is a stone staircase climb (no railings) upwards. There is one narrow part which I would be a bit concerned about if traveling with children or someone who doesn't handle heights well. Patience through this portion as some are going up and others are coming down is a key.
Cascade Canyon itself is a wonderful destination as the vista opens up, free of trees with a gentle stream meandering through the valley. We heard/saw the rustling in the brush of a moose in the Canyon.
翻译:六月初,我们一家五口(都是成年人)在提顿国家公园徒步前往卡斯卡德峡谷,全程两英里多。
我们选择乘坐珍妮湖渡船,每人20美元,而不是徒步珍妮湖步道到达卡斯卡德峡谷的起点。请注意,渡船非常拥挤(我们早上7:45到达,大约9:15才登上当天第二班船)。不过,下船后我们仍然感觉精力充沛,可以继续徒步。建议午饭后尽快返回码头,避开下午晚些时候的长队。
前往隐瀑、灵感点和卡斯卡德峡谷的徒步路线沿途有很多拍照的好地方。徒步中最难的部分是一段向上攀登的石阶(没有扶手)。其中有一段比较狭窄,如果带着孩子或恐高的人,我会比较担心。这段路程需要耐心,因为有些人上坡,有些人下坡。
卡斯卡德峡谷本身就是一个绝佳的去处,视野豁然开朗,没有树木遮挡,一条潺潺溪流蜿蜒流淌于山谷之中。我们在峡谷里听到/看到灌木丛中传来驼鹿的窸窣声。
