点评:I was thankful for the many reviews on this hike to make our experience with this hike perfect! We arrived around 7:30am and didn't have to wait too long to purchase tickets and get on the boat shuttle. My daughter and I took a slower approach getting up to hidden falls. We spent time taking in the views and it paid off because we got to see a black bear cross the river just below the falls! We continued our hike up to inspiration point. We took our time and there was a spot where it was just one way on the narrow path with a drop off to the side. We let other hikers pass so my daughter wouldn't feel rushed. She climbed it slowly but made it no problem. We spent time at inspiration point taking in the view and eating snacks before we headed back down. At hidden falls, we took a different path down to the boat shuttle then we took on the way up. The views of the river were so beautiful, we took our time taking in those views.
The return boat area filled up FAST as we were waiting for my husband and son so another reason to get an early start on this hike.
Since we took our time on this hike my husband and son were able to head into Cascade Canyon. They only went part of the way but still got to see a moose and a bear before they decided to turn around and come back. If you have the time and the energy on this hike, be sure to include part of Cascade Canyon in your plans.
Be sure to bring lunch/snacks and lots of water.
When we got back to our car, the parking lot was full plus cars parked on the street. We traveled late August when the crowds at the park weren't bad anywhere else on our trip but here the lot fills up so make it an early stop.
翻译:我很感谢大家对这次徒步旅行的众多评论,让我们的徒步旅行体验完美!我们大约在早上 7:30 到达,没有等太久就买了票,上了船。我和女儿慢慢地走到了隐藏的瀑布。我们花了一些时间欣赏风景,这是值得的,因为我们看到一只黑熊穿过瀑布下面的河流!我们继续徒步到灵感点。我们慢慢地走,在狭窄的小路上有一个地方只有一条路,旁边有一个陡坡。我们让其他徒步旅行者先走,这样我的女儿就不会感到匆忙。她爬得很慢,但没问题。我们花了一些时间在灵感点欣赏风景,吃零食,然后才返回。在隐藏的瀑布,我们走了一条不同的路下到船,然后我们上山。河景太美了,我们慢慢地欣赏那些景色。
回程船区很快就挤满了人,因为我们在等我丈夫和儿子,所以这也是我们早点开始这次徒步旅行的另一个原因。
由于我们花了时间徒步旅行,我的丈夫和儿子得以前往卡斯卡德峡谷。他们只走了一部分路,但在他们决定掉头回来之前,他们仍然看到了一只驼鹿和一只熊。如果您有时间和精力参加这次徒步旅行,请务必将卡斯卡德峡谷的一部分纳入您的计划。
一定要带上午餐/零食和大量的水。
当我们回到车上时,停车场已经满了,街上也停满了车。我们是在 8 月底旅行的,当时公园里的人群在我们旅行的其他地方还不错,但这里的停车场已经满了,所以要早点停下来。
