点评:I headed out to Muir Woods with my teenage daughters in the morning, and then as I was driving, I started to see signs on the road posted that we need reservations in order to be able to park and enter the trails. So I pulled over and went to their website and realized that it was booked for the next four hours. I ended up making the first reservation time I could, and my daughters and I headed back to San Francisco because we had four hours before we could get into the park. So please don’t make the same mistake that we did lol, make sure to put in a reservation!
When we headed back later on, I was surprised at how winding the road was going up to Muir Woods. When we entered the park, the attendant was very polite and directed us to a spot. Then we walked to the ticket booth and we were given a map and we headed out to the paths and the trails. There were people there with strollers, there were people there with wheelchairs, there were young toddlers, and there were elderly people. The main path is very paved and smooth and safe. If you are more ambitious and able to, there are more rugged trails that connect to the main paved ones that you can explore. We went during the early evening time, there were definitely people on the smooth path, but once we ventured off of that, we were practically the only ones. It was very quiet, very beautiful and very serene. Everywhere you looked there was a stunning view.
Overall, we spent about an hour and a half in the woods. I definitely suggest bringing water. Along the main path there are many places to sit, many benches and bridges, but on the more rugged trails there aren’t any places to sit and relax.
翻译:早上,我和十几岁的女儿们出发去穆尔森林公园。开车的时候,我开始看到路上的告示牌,上面写着需要预约才能停车和进入步道。于是我把车停在路边,打开他们的网站,发现接下来的四个小时已经被订满了。最后,我尽可能地提前预约了时间,然后带着女儿们返回旧金山,因为还有四个小时才能进园。所以,千万别犯我们犯的错误,哈哈,一定要预约!
后来我们回去的时候,我惊讶地发现通往穆尔森林公园的道路竟然如此蜿蜒。我们一进公园,工作人员非常有礼貌,给我们指了个位置。然后我们走到售票处,拿到了一张地图,就出发去那些小路和步道了。那里有人推着婴儿车,有人坐轮椅,有蹒跚学步的幼儿,也有老人。主路铺得很平整,很安全。如果你更有野心,并且能力更强,可以去探索连接主要铺砌道路的崎岖小径。我们去的时候是傍晚,平坦的道路上确实有人,但一旦我们离开平坦的道路,几乎就只剩下我们了。周围非常安静,景色优美,宁静祥和。目光所及之处,景色令人叹为观止。
总的来说,我们在树林里待了大约一个半小时。我强烈建议你带水。主路上有很多可以坐的地方,有很多长椅和桥梁,但在崎岖的小径上,几乎没有可以坐下来休息的地方。
