点评:We hiked out to Hermits Rest from Maswik Lodge. There was a bit of a climb at the beginning but after that it was relatively flat. Trail is primarily gravel with some paved sections on each end. The views are good and it was great to get away from the crowds at the famous view points where the bus stops.
We stayed for sunset at Hopi Point and caught the bus back. They had 4 buses queued up to haul everyone back at sunset. You must be at a bus stop no later than 30 minutes after sunset or you’ll be hiking back in the dark.
We used the 7 mile rim hike to Hermits Rest to acclimate to the altitude in preparation for Bright Angel and South Kaibab trails. It worked! I had trouble getting enough oxygen the first day but when we hiked Bright Angel on day 3 it felt great! I'm an average 57 year old woman and the hike back up from 1 and a half mile rest house was no problem.
翻译:我们从马斯维克旅馆 (Maswik Lodge) 徒步前往隐士休憩处 (Hermits Rest)。一开始有点爬坡,但之后就比较平坦了。步道主要由碎石路组成,两端各有一段铺好的路段。沿途风景优美,而且远离巴士停靠的著名观景点的拥挤人群,感觉很棒。
我们在霍皮角 (Hopi Point) 欣赏了日落,然后搭乘巴士返回。日落时分,有四辆巴士排队等候接客。你必须在日落后 30 分钟内到达巴士站,否则就只能摸黑徒步返回了。
我们利用 7 英里的环线徒步路线前往隐士休憩处,以适应高海拔,为接下来的光明天使 (Bright Angel) 和南凯巴布 (South Kaibab) 步道做好准备。效果显著!第一天我感觉呼吸困难,但第三天徒步光明天使步道时感觉很棒!我是一位 57 岁的普通女性,从 1.5 英里的休息站徒步返回对我来说毫无压力。
