点评:We started at the National Park Service visitor center in downtown Wartburg and the park rangers there were very helpful. We enjoyed the short film.
We drove down a windy two-lane road to the Nemo Picnic Area which has a tiny beach on the Emory River. We walked across the historic Nemo pedestrian bridge and got great views of the river below. Then we went back to the car and drove across the river and down the gravel driveway to the Rock Creek Campground parking area. From there we walked the Cumberland Trail uphill (I recommend taking a hiking stick) to some very impressive rock formations. When the trail forked, we turned right onto the Emory River Nature Trail which went downhill and came out at the river. This whole trail was very pretty. We spent about two hours total in the Nemo area.
After retracing our drive back to Wartburg and lunch at Tanner’s Historic Café, we drove to the Lilly Bridge and parked there (there are small parking areas on both ends of the bridge). We hiked part of the Bridge Trail, saw a waterfall, and came out at the climbing area and watched some rock climbers for a few minutes. Then we went back to the car and drove to the Lilly Bluff parking lot. From there we hiked the Boulder Trail which went downhill and crossed the road and came out in a field of large boulders. Then we backtracked to the parking lot and took the Overlook Trail. This was a short easy walk to a large boardwalk overlooking the canyon and creek below. These trails were also pretty. We spent two hours total at the Lilly area.
All in all it was a very enjoyable day of light hiking and beautiful scenery. There had been a major storm two nights before so the water was high, and the 17-year cicada brood could be heard loudly buzzing. The Obed recreation area also can be used for whitewater kayaking or canoeing but we did not try any of that.
翻译:我们从瓦尔特堡市中心的国家公园管理局游客中心出发,那里的公园管理员非常乐于助人。我们很喜欢这部短片。
我们沿着一条蜿蜒的双车道公路驶向尼莫野餐区,那里有埃默里河上的一小片沙滩。我们走过历史悠久的尼莫人行天桥,欣赏着桥下河流的壮丽景色。然后我们回到车上,穿过河流,沿着碎石车道来到岩溪露营地的停车场。从那里我们沿着坎伯兰小径上坡行走(我建议带上登山杖),看到一些非常令人印象深刻的岩层。当小径分叉时,我们右转进入埃默里河自然小径,这条小径下坡后延伸到河边。整条小径都非常漂亮。我们在尼莫地区总共待了大约两个小时。
我们原路返回瓦尔特堡,在坦纳历史咖啡馆吃过午饭后,开车去了莉莉桥并把车停在那里(桥的两端都有小型停车场)。我们徒步走了一段桥径,看到了瀑布,然后来到攀岩区,看了几分钟攀岩者。之后我们回到车上,开车去了莉莉崖停车场。从那里我们沿着巨石径徒步,这条径下坡,穿过马路,来到一片巨石林立的地区。之后我们折返停车场,走上了眺望径。这条路很短,很容易走到一条宽阔的木板路,可以俯瞰下面的峡谷和小溪。这些小径也很漂亮。我们在莉莉崖一共待了两个小时。
总而言之,这是非常愉快的一天,轻松的徒步旅行和美丽的风景。两天前晚上发生了一场大风暴,所以水位很高,可以听到17年蝉的嗡嗡声。奥贝德休闲区也可以进行激流皮划艇或独木舟运动,但我们没有尝试。
