点评:The Craggy Gardens area includes Craggy Pinnacle, both geographically and in the Tripadvisor reviews, but please note that while these areas overlap, the Pinnacle offers a distinctly different experience from the surrounding, lower, forest and gardens trails, and the easiest entrance to the pinnacle trail head is about 3.5 miles north of the gardens trails entrance on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Craggy Gardens trail itself is about 1.9 miles round-trip through rhododendron-covered forests, is an easy-to-moderate level hike, and is beautiful. The Craggy Pinnacle trail, in its most direct route, is an easy-moderate 1.4-mile round-trip hike from the parking lot to the top of the 5,892-ft. summit (elevation gain about 240 feet), and it offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding forests and mountains, particularly at or near sunrise or sunset. There are also interconnecting longer trails. In short, the reviews herein contain reviews for both areas (despite that the two are often considered separate and distinctly named locations), and if you're in the area, I would encourage you to try to experience both. Also note that the Parkway exit to the Mount Mitchell trails (highest peak east of the Mississippi) is only about 9 miles north of the Craggy Pinnacle exit.
翻译:崎岖花园区域包括崎岖尖峰 (Craggy Pinnacle),无论是在地理位置上还是在 Tripadvisor 评论中都是如此,但请注意,虽然这些区域有重叠,但尖峰提供的体验与周围较低的森林和花园小径截然不同,尖峰小径入口最方便的距离是位于蓝岭公园大道花园小径入口以北约 3.5 英里处。崎岖花园小径本身穿过杜鹃花覆盖的森林,往返约 1.9 英里,是一条容易到中等难度的徒步路线,风景优美。崎岖尖峰小径最直接的路线是一条容易到中等难度的 1.4 英里往返徒步路线,从停车场到 5,892 英尺的山顶(海拔增加约 240 英尺),并可欣赏到周围森林和山脉的美丽全景,尤其是在日出或日落时分。还有相互连接的较长小径。简而言之,本文的点评涵盖了这两个区域(尽管这两个区域通常被认为是独立且名称不同的地点),如果您在该地区,我建议您尝试体验这两个区域。另请注意,通往米切尔山步道(密西西比河以东最高峰)的公园大道出口距离崎岖尖峰出口仅约 9 英里(约 14 公里)。
