点评:We got dropped off at the start of the walkway to windy canyon. we walked windy canyon, mt hobson, mt heale hut down to kaitoke hot springs and out in a day.
it was 16km, over 1600 steep stairs up, and the same down the other side. and 850 metres of elevation.
It rained the whole time, so we had no views but we felt it was an excellent way to spend a wet day - it wasnt about the views for us - it was the walk and beautiful forest. We stopped at Mt Heale hut for lunch and kaitoke hot springs for a swim. walking time it took us just over 4 hours.
i recommend a hiking pole as it can get slippery coming down and in the stairs. im not a fan of stairs but i found them fine.
we left our car at the kaitoke end so after the hot springs it was difficult to walk the last 30-40 minutes - but it was all flat and easy.
翻译:我们在通往风谷的走道的起点下车。我们走了风谷、霍布森山、希尔小屋、凯托克温泉,一天之内就出去了。
全程16公里,向上爬了1600多个陡峭的楼梯,另一边也一样。海拔850米。
一直在下雨,所以我们看不到风景,但我们觉得这是度过潮湿的一天的绝佳方式 - 对我们来说这不是风景 - 而是步行和美丽的森林。我们在希尔山小屋停下来吃午餐,然后去凯托克温泉游泳。步行时间我们只花了4个多小时。
我推荐一根登山杖,因为它会在下楼梯时变得很滑。我不喜欢楼梯,但我发现它们很好。
我们把车停在了kaitoke尽头,所以泡完温泉后,最后30-40分钟很难走——但一切都很平坦,很轻松。
