点评:Great trip. We arrived at approximately 2 pm and made our way towards the entrance of the trail. The parking lot was quite spacious and there were plenty of places to park. The trail was a bit tricky to find, as it was located behind a building. We opted to hike the Hemlock Bridge and Whispering Cave trail, which was a roughly 1.7 mile loop trail around the park. The trail was moderate in nature and consisted of walking on an uneven dirt surface for a majority of the walk. There was a long staircase leading down to the trail, and multiple sections of incline/decline. The trail mostly took us through a forest, with scenic views of Whispering Cave, a waterfall and Hemlock Bridge. There were wooden guardrails put in place alongside Whispering Cave, and we were able to walk behind the waterfall that was trickling down in front of the cave. The only downside to this hike was there was only a small trickle of water where the waterfall usually was, due to recent droughts in the area. After viewing the cave we continued the hike to Hemlock Bridge, and were able to walk across the short suspension bridge. We then made our way back to the parking lot.
Tip: I recommend spending 1 hour here if you truly want to see everything.
翻译:很棒的旅程!我们大约下午2点到达,然后朝着步道入口走去。停车场很宽敞,有很多停车位。这条步道有点难找,因为它位于一栋建筑后面。我们选择了徒步铁杉桥和耳语洞步道,这是一条环绕公园约1.7英里的环形步道。步道难度适中,大部分路程都是在凹凸不平的泥土路面上行走。步道下方有一段长长的楼梯,还有多个上坡/下坡路段。步道主要穿过一片森林,可以欣赏到耳语洞、瀑布和铁杉桥的美景。耳语洞旁边设有木制护栏,我们可以走到洞前涓涓细流的瀑布后面。这次徒步唯一的缺点是由于最近该地区干旱,瀑布通常所在的地方现在只有一小段水流。参观完洞穴后,我们继续徒步前往铁杉桥,并穿过了那座短短的吊桥。之后,我们返回了停车场。
小贴士:如果您真的想看遍所有景点,我建议您在这里待上一个小时。
