点评:This trail is rated as Moderate, but in my opinion it should be rated "moderately challenging".
The road to get there involves a 2mile drive on a rough, unpaved road. We had a Ford F150 (4x4) and we had to drive slow.. There was a saloon in front of us, going even slower, but I guess it's doable.
The trail is not officially marked, but there are arrows on the ground, made of stones, pointing the way in some questionable spots. If you look for those, you won't go off the trail.
We saw people returning once they reached the first "obstacle" which was a boulder jam. But if you read the trail description on the official park website, you'll see there's a way around it. Some rock scrambling is required though. This spot is on the left hand side of the boulder jam.
Further along the trail, the route seems to be blocked again. We saw people thinking this was the end of the trail, who headed back to the trailhead. But it's not. You need to backtrack a bit, and you'll see the stone arrow on the ground, pointing up the canyon. It's a rocky trail, but not bad, and you'll see another stone arrow leading you back down into the wash. We saw people continuing up the canyon here, who returned once they saw us heading down. It's easy to miss those arrows..I'll attach a photo to the review.
Once you reach the high dryfall, in the amphitheater, you know you're at the end of the trail.
That's why i think the trail should be rated as moderately challenging, because i've done many moderate trails, this is not one of them. We are relatively experienced hikers, and managed the rock scrambling just fine, but we don't have any mobility or other issues. It's not suitable for everybody.
We enjoyed the hike, it's a beautiful canyon, and the rock scrambling kept it interesting all the way to the end.
翻译:这条小径被评为中等难度,但在我看来,它应该被评为“中等难度”。
到达那里的路需要在崎岖不平的土路上行驶 2 英里。我们有一辆福特 F150(4x4),我们不得不慢慢开。我们前面有一辆轿车,速度更慢,但我想这是可行的。
这条小径没有正式标记,但地面上有箭头,用石头做成,在一些可疑的地方指路。如果你寻找那些,你就不会偏离小径。
我们看到人们在到达第一个“障碍”——巨石堵塞后返回。但如果你阅读公园官方网站上的小径描述,你会发现有办法绕过它。不过需要攀爬岩石。这个地点在巨石堵塞的左侧。
沿着小径继续前行,路线似乎又被封锁了。我们看到人们以为这是小径的尽头,然后回到小径的起点。但事实并非如此。你需要往回走一点,你会看到地面上的石箭,指向峡谷。这是一条岩石小径,但还不错,你会看到另一个石箭引导你回到水沟里。我们看到人们继续沿着这里的峡谷往上走,当他们看到我们往下走时,他们就回来了。很容易错过那些箭头……我会在评论中附上一张照片。
一旦你到达露天剧场的高处瀑布,你就知道你已经走到了小径的尽头。
这就是为什么我认为这条小径应该被评为中等挑战,因为我走过许多中等难度的小径,但这不是其中之一。我们是相对有经验的徒步旅行者,攀岩很好,但我们没有任何行动不便或其他问题。它并不适合所有人。
我们很享受徒步旅行,这是一个美丽的峡谷,攀岩一直很有趣,直到最后。
