点评:What a beautiful day we had. My adult son and I started out early even though it wasn’t going to be too hot because we wanted to beat the crowds. We wanted to be able to get some waterfall shots from the bridge without holding anyone up. We did the north and south rims. We went up to Inspiration Point and on to High Bluff. High Bluff is confusing because the brochure says a mile and a half but to make a loop it’s more like 5 miles. We went up to the bluff and swung back the way we came due to time restraints. That was not my favorite but we may have missed something by turning back.
I did not see anyone on the gorge floor. Maybe the water was too high? We thought about it but since we didn’t see anyone else there we didn’t bother asking about a permit. The area has had a lot of rain so the waterfalls were powerful and easy to see. I love a challenge and the stairs were a challenge but not uncomfortable. Once you get to the top after the bridge, you can go to Overlooks 8-10. Overlook 10 is not a must see but the others were.
It’s a lot of walking but a fun way to spend a morning. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area
翻译:我们度过了美好的一天。我和已成年的儿子虽然天气不太热,但还是早早出发了,因为我们想避开拥挤的人群。我们想从桥上拍几张瀑布的照片,不耽误任何人。我们走了南北两道瀑布。我们爬上了灵感点 (Inspiration Point),然后继续前往高崖 (High Bluff)。高崖有点让人困惑,因为宣传册上说是一英里半,但绕一圈大概是五英里。我们爬上悬崖,然后因为时间限制原路返回。这不是我最喜欢的路线,但我们可能因为折返而错过了什么。
我没有在峡谷底部看到任何人。也许是水位太高了?我们想过这个问题,但既然在那里没有看到其他人,我们就没费心去问许可证。这个地区最近雨水很多,所以瀑布水势很强劲,很容易看到。我喜欢挑战,爬楼梯虽然很有挑战性,但并不难受。过了桥到达山顶后,你可以去 8-10 号观景台。10 号观景台并非必看,但其他的观景台都是必看的。
虽然要走很长的路,但这是一个度过早晨的好方式。如果你在附近,千万不要错过。
