点评:A weird and unnecessary outting. I really wish we hadn’t bothered with this, but we wanted a day away from Vieux Quebec. Aside from the fact that we discovered, once we’d paid our entrance fee, that there are at least three separate ways to enter the park by public path, the primary disappointment is that this site looks like the aftermath of an extreme fracking episode: one whole side of the mountain has been stripped of its trees in what can only have been an environmental misadventure. It gives off post-apocalyptic environmental disaster vibes and the falls are nothing special in this context. It’s crowded in the summer and because you’re confined to a narrow path, it feels a bit like you’re being herded, single-file. But also expect to be stuck behind people who need to video tape their entire experience. While walking very slowly. Parking and signage are both very confusing. There are two different lots - one above and one below - and this will make a difference as to whether you climb up or down the 400 wooden steps. Park above, walk down, and take the gondola back up. Or avoid it all together.
翻译:一次奇怪且毫无必要的外出。我真希望我们没去凑这个热闹,只是想从老魁北克城中暂时脱身一天罢了。付了门票后我们才发现,原来至少有三条公共步道可以通往公园;不过最令人失望的是,整个景区看起来就像是一场极端水力压裂实验后的惨状:整座山的半边山坡上的树木都被砍光了,这显然是一场严重的环境灾难。这里给人一种末日后的环境灾难氛围,在这种背景下那些瀑布也算不上什么特别之处。夏天时游客众多,由于只能沿着狭窄的小路行走,感觉就像被排成单列驱赶着前进一样。此外,你还可能遇到那些边走边慢悠悠地录制全程的人,挡住你的去路。停车安排和指示牌都让人摸不着头脑。这里有两个不同的区域——一个在上,一个在下——这会影响你是选择爬上还是走下那400级木制台阶。可以把车停在上面的停车场,然后步行下山,再乘坐缆车返回。或者干脆避开这一切也行。
