点评:I've been here in the past, way back in the 70's. Back then, there were no stairs.
But, now there are stairs going down to the first falls, and from there, back up to a viewing location to see Devil's Kettle, and it connects to the Superior Hiking trail also.
The trail is a moderate mile in and mile out to see both the first falls and the Devil's Kettle. (Always wonder why the devil gets so much credit for things.)
Anyway, the kettle is a place in the river where it splits, part of it as a waterfall, and the other part dives into a big hole. The water from that comes out in Lake Superior through an underground channel. There is only one convenient (and safe) location to see it well, so a lot of the photos will look alike.
The trail starts fairly level from a parking lot. There is a kiosk there saying you need a park permit, but nowhere to buy one at that location, or even a day pass, or anything else for that matter. So, be aware of that.
Once you get to the first falls, there will be a small sign, with a small hand made arrow pointing to the stairs. And there are stairs, and stairs, and more stairs. But the falls and the kettle are beautiful and if you can handle stairs, worth the hike.
Past the view spot for Devil's Kettle, the trail continues on as the Superior Hiking Trail, often abbreviated as the SHT. This goes the length of Lake Superior in Minnesota.
翻译:我以前来过这里,那是在 70 年代。那时,这里没有楼梯。
但是,现在有楼梯可以下到第一个瀑布,从那里可以回到观景点,可以看到魔鬼水壶,它也连接到苏必利尔远足小径。
这条小径长约一英里,宽约一英里,可以看到第一个瀑布和魔鬼水壶。(总是想知道为什么魔鬼会得到这么多的赞誉。)
无论如何,水壶是河流分叉的地方,一部分是瀑布,另一部分则流入一个大洞。水从那里通过地下通道流入苏必利尔湖。只有一个方便(且安全)的位置可以很好地看到它,所以很多照片看起来都一样。
这条小径从停车场开始,相当平坦。那里有一个售货亭,上面写着你需要一张公园许可证,但在那个地方没有地方可以买到,甚至没有一日通行证,或者其他任何东西。所以,请注意这一点。
到达第一个瀑布后,会看到一个小标志,上面有一个小的手工箭头指向楼梯。那里有楼梯,还有楼梯,还有更多的楼梯。但瀑布和水壶很美,如果你能爬楼梯,就值得徒步旅行。
经过魔鬼水壶的观景点,这条小径继续延伸,成为苏必利尔徒步小径,通常缩写为 SHT。这条小径沿着明尼苏达州苏必利尔湖的长度延伸。
