点评:A great trail to hike. We drove in our RV from our RV park in Jasper, which took about an hr (we left early - approx 0645).
The road up to Miette Springs from the main highway is an interesting road to drive in an RV! Thank goodness my husband was driving. Just take it slowly. We encountered a major road fall off (controlled by traffic lights), but we were the first vehicle to arrived in the carpark.
There are public restrooms (vault toilets) in the public carpark, and also picnic tables.
The trail itself is easy to find and follow. (Although we did have all trails too)
The trail is in great condition, is paved for about the first 15min, then a mix of gravel/dirt.
We are both 55 years, and it took us approx 3hrs round trip (although we stopped at the flat area just below the summit for a cuppa, and also stopped at the summit for photos and wow moments. It was relatively steep the entire way, but just take your time.
As we went early, we only encountered 1 other couple on the way up. So at the summit, we had the entire area to ourselves for about 15min. Magical!
Make sure you take the usual hiking stuff: warm clothes (esp for the summit), wet weather gear, bear spray (although the only wildlife we saw was a beautiful white colored bird which landed so close to us!), and of course snacks! Walking poles are also good - especially for the last bit (like a scramble) up to the summit (very handy on the way down)
We also took a thermos up, and after the summit, came back down to the plateau area (about 5 min back down the track from the summit), enjoyed a cuppa with some biscuits.
Then you have the option of the hot pools to relax in. (Although there is no food offering at the hot pools themselves, and there were 3 pools open - 1 cold, 1 warm and then 1 lovely and hot!)
翻译:一条很棒的徒步路线。我们从贾斯珀的房车公园开着房车过来,大约花了一个小时(我们出发得比较早,大约早上6点45分)。
从主干道到米耶特泉的路,开房车很有意思!谢天谢地,我丈夫开车。慢慢开就好。我们遇到了一个很大的路段(有交通信号灯控制),但我们是第一批到达停车场的车辆。
公共停车场里有公共厕所(拱顶厕所),还有野餐桌。
这条路线本身很容易找到,也很容易走。(虽然我们也走遍了所有路线)
这条路线状况很好,前15分钟是铺装路面,之后是碎石/泥土混合路。
我们俩都55岁了,往返大约花了3个小时(虽然我们在山顶下方的平地停下来喝了杯茶,也在山顶停下来拍照留念,享受了令人惊叹的时刻)。全程都比较陡峭,但慢慢来就好。
因为我们去得早,所以上山途中只遇到了一对夫妇。所以在山顶,我们独自一人待了大约15分钟。太神奇了!
一定要带上常用的登山装备:保暖衣物(尤其是登顶用的)、雨具、防熊喷雾(虽然我们看到的唯一野生动物是一只美丽的白色小鸟,它落在离我们很近的地方!),当然还有零食!登山杖也很有用——尤其是在最后一段(比如攀爬)上山顶的时候(下山时非常方便)。
我们还带了一个保温瓶,登顶后,我们回到了高原地区(从山顶沿着小路往下走大约5分钟),喝了杯茶,吃了些饼干。
然后你就……可以选择在温泉池中放松一下。(虽然温泉池本身不提供食物,但有 3 个温泉池开放 - 1 个冷水池、1 个温水池和 1 个温暖的热水池!)
