点评:Hubby & I are in good health in our mid-60s. We have hiked the Summit Trail of Mt Philo at least half a dozen times in the past two months. We are from the flat lands of Florida, so day hiking on a mountain trail is new for us. We were a bit surprised the first time we hiked it because it was rated as “moderately challenging” according to the All Trails app (which I highly recommend if you are vacationing and hiking in unfamiliar locations). We quickly decided that, in the interest of fall prevention, “moderately challenging” was the highest difficulty rating that we should attempt! With that said, we truly love the Mt Philo Summit Trail, as evidenced by the fact that we hike it again & again! So, as long as you don’t have mobility issues, you will probably enjoy it as well. The top of the mountain has a beautiful view, Adirondack chairs for relaxing, picnic tables & grills. There are bathrooms at the top (port-a-potties at the bottom beginning of the trail). Also, if you are with a group that includes some who are not able to make this hike, you can actually drive to the top and they can meet you there for a picnic together! The trail is just over a mile from top to bottom. Takes us around 45 minutes (if you don’t stop for pictures!). Also, if you don’t have the time or interest in the hike, I recommend driving up to the top for a picnic, to bring a book and relax in an Adirondack and just to enjoy the beautiful view!
翻译:我和老公都 60 多岁了,身体健康。在过去的两个月里,我们至少徒步了六次费罗山山顶步道。我们来自佛罗里达州的平原,所以白天在山路上徒步旅行对我们来说是新鲜事。第一次徒步旅行时我们有点惊讶,因为根据 All Trails 应用程序(如果您在陌生的地方度假和徒步旅行,我强烈推荐该应用程序),它被评为“中等挑战性”。我们很快决定,为了防止跌倒,“中等挑战性”是我们应该尝试的最高难度等级!话虽如此,我们真的很喜欢菲罗山山顶步道,我们一次又一次徒步旅行的事实就证明了这一点!因此,只要您没有行动不便的问题,您可能也会喜欢它。山顶风景优美,有可供放松的阿迪朗达克椅子、野餐桌和烧烤架。顶部有浴室(小路底部起点有便盆)。此外,如果您所在的团体中有些人无法参加这次徒步旅行,您实际上可以开车到山顶,他们可以在那里与您会合,一起野餐!这条小路从上到下只有一英里多。我们大约需要 45 分钟(如果您不停下来拍照!)。另外,如果您没有时间或没有兴趣徒步旅行,我建议您开车到山顶野餐,带上一本书,在阿迪朗达克山中放松身心,欣赏美丽的景色!
