点评:Wow - unexpected with hills, scenery, and views - given this is surrounded by relatively flat farmland and associated towns for many miles in all directions. A visitor center on the history is a good place to start - takes only 15-20 minutes. Then much of the rest is trails both dirt and boardwalk - overlooking the river, in canyons, or just through rolling terrain in the woods. I'd recommend doing the 80-stair climb to Starved Rock. Then if you handle that fine, you can do a loop where you follow the signs on trails to Wildcat Canyon where you can go down the steps into the canyon - then take the river trail back - which both runs along the river at river level and on bluffs many feet above it with overlooks. We did this "loop" and it took us 2.5 hours for just shy of 3 miles with stops to enjoy, take in the views, and take pictures. But, there are quite a few different options.
翻译:哇 - 这里有出乎意料的山丘、风景和景色 - 考虑到这里四周都是相对平坦的农田和相关城镇,绵延数英里。历史游客中心是一个很好的起点 - 只需 15-20 分钟。然后,其余大部分都是泥土和木板路 - 俯瞰河流、峡谷或穿过树林中起伏的地形。我建议爬 80 级台阶到 Starved Rock。然后,如果你能应付得了,你可以绕一圈,沿着小径上的指示牌前往 Wildcat Canyon,在那里你可以沿着台阶进入峡谷 - 然后沿着河边小径返回 - 这条小径沿着河流延伸,位于河流水平面,并在高出河流数英尺的悬崖上俯瞰。我们做了这个“循环”,花了 2.5 小时,走了不到 3 英里,中途停下来欣赏风景和拍照。但是,有很多不同的选择。
