点评:The Rubicon trail runs from Emerald Bay Park to DL Bliss State Park. DL Biss is currently closed (July 2024), so the only way to get to the trail is from Emerald Bay.
The best way to access the trail is by parking at Vikingsholm parking lot and then taking the 1 mile trail down to the water level (near the Emerald Bay Visitor Center) and starting the trail right by the Vikingsholm building. From there you can take the Rubicon trail out of the bay towards the open water and back.
Parking does fill up here- so you'll want to try to come early in the morning. It's $10 for a day pass to park. The hike back up to the lot is fairly steep so there are signs warning folks to not go down if they are not confident they can't make it back up.
The Vikingsholm parking lot is also where the Emerald Bay Overlook is- which is a great view!
There are not flush toilets in this park- only vault toilets- but they aren't bad. Just bring hand sanitizer with you. (There are porter-potties at the parking lot. )
From this area you can also access lower Eagle Falls - which is more impressive than Upper Eagle Falls. Lower Eagle Falls is a short (20 min out and back) hike- but it is uphill.
翻译:Rubicon 小径从 Emerald Bay 公园延伸至 DL Bliss 州立公园。DL Biss 目前已关闭(2024 年 7 月),因此唯一到达小径的方式是从 Emerald Bay。
进入小径的最佳方式是将车停在 Vikingsholm 停车场,然后沿着 1 英里的小径下到水位(靠近 Emerald Bay 游客中心),并从 Vikingsholm 大楼旁边开始小径。从那里,您可以沿着 Rubicon 小径离开海湾,前往开阔的水域,然后再返回。
这里的停车场确实很满 - 所以您需要尝试在早上早点来。停车日通行证为 10 美元。返回停车场的路途相当陡峭,因此有标志警告人们,如果他们不确定自己能否回到原位,就不要下山。
Vikingsholm 停车场也是 Emerald Bay 观景台的所在地 - 那里的景色非常棒!
这个公园里没有抽水马桶,只有拱顶厕所,但还不错。只需随身携带洗手液即可。(停车场有便携式厕所。)
从这个区域,您还可以进入下鹰瀑布,它比上鹰瀑布更令人印象深刻。下鹰瀑布是一条短途(往返 20 分钟)的徒步路线,但需要上坡。
