点评:We'd hiked here before and were happy to return to see the Autumn colors. A lot of other people had the same idea. There are a few different trails to take you to the top. The longest, a mile, is the easiest, while steeper trails are just .3 miles. Some trails allow non-motorized bikes. Many dogs on leashes were present. The Autumn scenery and smells are wonderfully iconic. Maine residents get a discount from the friendly park ranger. We took the easy trail up, and one of the .3 mile trails back. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful, and there are picnic tables. Out houses are at the base. A large chart at the summit tells which birds of prey have been seen, and when. Bigfoot is reputed to have been seen in the area and the ranger at the entrance has more info on that. There are occasional sites along the way, like an old animal pound, and other hikers were quite friendly. Plenty of parking, and a children's playground area with picnic tables. Trails are not handicap accessible. The park closes by dark. Yes, in order to see the spectacular views from the top you have to hike up to see them. The trails aren't paved. Fall leaves, roots, and loose rocks can be a hazard.
翻译:我们以前来过这里徒步,这次能再次目睹秋天的美景真是开心不已。很多其他人也有同样的想法。这里有几条不同的小径可以通往山顶:其中最长的一条有一英里,走起来最轻松;而较为陡峭的小径则只有0.3英里长。部分小径允许非机动自行车通行。现场还有许多牵着狗绳的狗主人。秋天的景色与气息真是迷人至极、极具代表性。缅因州的居民还能从友善的公园管理员那里获得优惠。我们选择了那条最容易走的小径上山,然后……返回时需要走3英里的步道。山顶的景色美不胜收,那里还有野餐桌。厕所则位于山脚处。山顶上有一块大型展板,上面记载着曾经在此处出现的猛禽种类及其出现时间。据说该地区曾有目击大脚怪的记录,入口处的护林员能提供更多相关信息。沿途还有一些有趣的景点,比如一处旧时的动物收容所;其他徒步旅行者也都非常友好。这里有充足的停车位,还有一个配有野餐桌的儿童游乐区。这些步道并不适合残障人士通行。公园在天黑后闭园。没错,要想欣赏山顶的壮丽景色,必须徒步攀登才行。步道并未铺设路面。秋天的落叶、树根以及松动的石块都可能带来危险。
