Two trails, one easy, one challenging!
The Loop and Z Bend Gorge的点评
点评:There are a handful of interesting hikes you can attempt within Kalbarri National Park including the popular Loop and Z Bend Trails.
The Loop Trail is located near the iconic Nature's Window. This is a challenging 9km loop trail that takes a few hours but takes you through remarkable landscape along the rim of the Murchison River before descending down into the gorge where you walk several km along its shoreline and cliffs. During the spring, the trail was lined with beautiful flowers. We found kangaroos and lots of birdlife in the gorge as well.
The Z Bend trail is located at the carpark around 8 km south. There are a couple of trails here including a short and easy 1.2 km out-in-back walk to a nice viewpoint into the Murchison Gorge. There is a separate and longer trail down to the river that is around 2.6 km but it was closed during our visit due to recent rains and river level.
We really enjoyed the Loop Trail finding it a moderately challenging and overall quality hike if this is something you are looking to do in Kalbarri. Even during winter, best to start early as it still gets rather hot down in the gorge. The Z Bend Lookout trail is very easy and accessible for any and everyone, worth doing if you want to get out and walk about and take in nice viewpoints into the gorges of Kalbarri.
翻译:卡尔巴里国家公园内有许多有趣的徒步路线,包括备受欢迎的环路和 Z 形弯道。
环路弯道位于标志性的自然之窗附近。这是一条具有挑战性的 9 公里环形弯道,需要几个小时才能走完,但会带您穿过默奇森河沿岸的壮丽景观,然后下降到峡谷,沿着河岸和悬崖步行数公里。春天,这条小路两旁开满了美丽的花朵。我们还在峡谷发现了袋鼠和许多鸟类。
Z 形弯道位于停车场以南约 8 公里处。这里有几条小路,包括一条 1.2 公里的短途轻松步行道,通往默奇森峡谷的美景。还有一条单独的更长的小路通往河边,长约 2.6 公里,但由于最近下雨和河水水位,这条小路在我们访问期间关闭了。
我们非常喜欢环路步道,如果您在卡尔巴里 (Kalbarri) 想尝试这条步道,那么这条步道的挑战性适中,而且总体质量不错。即使是在冬天,最好也早点出发,因为峡谷里还是很热。Z Bend Lookout 步道非常容易,任何人都可以到达,如果您想出去走走,欣赏卡尔巴里峡谷的美景,这条步道值得一试。
