A worthwhile hike
Bear Gulch Reservoir的点评
点评：One of the best-known sights on the east side of Pinnacles National Park is the Bear Gulch Reservoir. To get to the reservoir you follow a 2.4 mi/3.8.km out-and-back trail with a 314 ft/95.7 m elevation gain. My wife and I hiked this trail during late February 2024.
NOTE that the parking lot nearest the trailhead is small and fills up quickly, so it’s best to get there early. If it is full, you’ll have to use the overflow lot down the hill.
From the trailhead, you go up a gradual shaded incline, after which the trail changes from hard pack to rockier footing. You then go through a small tunnel as the trail continues its gradual climb. The trail eventually splits, with one path leading you into the caves and the other bypassing the caves.
If you take the bypass trail like we did (the caves were closed that day), be alert because the trail is a little hard to follow at a couple points. There is also a technical aspect to the hike as there is a bit of mild scrambling involved.
After the trails merge back together keep going straight and you’ll eventually enter a large opening in the rocks where the trail leads you toward the bottom of the section. Head toward the light and watch your step here because it’s a little dark, and the bottom area is pretty damp. Once you exit this bottom area, turn right and climb a set of stairs carved into the rock. From there you can follow the trail to the reservoir; it’s not that large, but it is a pretty sight.
This trail has a reputation for being fairly easy, but I found it a bit more strenuous than that. Still, we enjoyed the hike along the Bear Gulch Reservoir Trail and considered it was a memorable part of our visit to Pinnacles National Park.

翻译：尖峰国家公园东侧最著名的景点之一是熊谷水库。要到达水库，您需要沿着一条 2.4 英里/3.8 公里的往返小径，海拔高度增加 314 英尺/95.7 米。我和我的妻子在 2024 年 2 月下旬徒步了这条小径。
请注意，离小径入口最近的停车场很小，很快就会停满，所以最好早点到那里。如果停车场满了，你就得使用山下的溢流停车场。
从小径入口开始，您会逐渐爬上一个阴凉的斜坡，之后小径从坚硬的路面变成了多岩石的路面。然后，您会穿过一条小隧道，小径继续逐渐攀升。小径最终会分叉，一条路通向洞穴，另一条路绕过洞穴。
如果您像我们一样走旁路（那天洞穴关闭了），请保持警惕，因为这条路在几个地方有点难走。徒步旅行也有一个技术方面的问题，因为需要进行一些轻微的攀爬。
小径重新汇合后，继续直行，最终您会进入岩石中的一个大开口，小径会将您引向该区域的底部。朝着光的方向走，小心脚下，因为这里有点暗，底部区域非常潮湿。离开这个底部区域后，向右转，爬上一组刻在岩石上的楼梯。从那里您可以沿着小径前往水库；它不是很大，但景色很美。
这条小径以相当容易而闻名，但我发现它比那更费力。尽管如此，我们仍然喜欢沿着熊谷水库小径徒步旅行，并认为这是我们参观尖峰国家公园的一个难忘部分。
