点评:Our family included young adult and teens. We did the 5 mile round trip to Alum Cave while also seeing inspiration point and arch rock along the way. The first half of the trail had a gradual incline to Arch Rock was mostly wooded and following the creek. It had great spots to stop and look at or play in the creek. The second half of the trail became a little steeper but still manageable for families for younger kids and some older hikers. The trail became rockier and inclined more as you get closer to Alum Cave. Inspiration point has beautiful views of the mountains for hikers who stop and look to the left. Many folks were powering through this area and didn't even notice, but our group stopped and sat not he rocks for a bit to enjoy the view before proceeding to Alum Cave. The entire trail all the way to the Alum Cave had steps to help with the incline. Some of our group don't do a lot of exercise and just took their time going up and the return was all downhill so was very easy. I highly recommend this trail.
翻译:我们家有年轻人和青少年。我们往返明矾洞 5 英里,沿途还看到了灵感点和拱门岩。路径的前半部分逐渐上升到拱门岩,大部分是树木,沿着小溪。它有很多很棒的地方可以停下来观景或在小溪里玩耍。路径的后半部分变得有点陡峭,但对于年幼的孩子和一些年龄较大的徒步旅行者的家庭来说仍然可以应付。当你靠近明矾洞时,路径变得更加崎岖和倾斜。灵感点为停下来向左看的徒步旅行者提供了美丽的山景。许多人穿过这个区域甚至没有注意到,但我们团队在继续前往明矾洞之前停下来坐在岩石旁欣赏风景。通往明矾洞的整条路径都有台阶可以帮助减缓倾斜。我们团队中的一些人不怎么运动,只是慢慢爬上去,回来的路都是下坡,所以很容易。我强烈推荐这条路径。
