Ripple Rock的点评
点评：Important Reality Check for Senior & Casual Hikers — This Trail Is NOT “Moderate”
I hiked the Ripple Rock trail recently and want to offer a more honest perspective for other senior or casual hikers. While it’s often rated “moderate,” I believe this rating vastly underestimates the real physical and safety demands of the trail.
What to expect:
• Several very steep sections with loose, jagged rocks that require sure footing and balance.
• Scrambling is required — this is not a groomed path. You’ll need your hands at times.
• At least 4–5 large fallen trees must be climbed over — no easy workarounds.
• The final 1 km is a fairly steep uphill in full sun, just when you’re getting tired.
• A fall could be serious, and rescue access is very limited. Think twice if you’re unsteady or hiking solo.
I’m in good shape and still found it quite difficult. With the combination of heat, incline, rugged terrain, and remoteness, this is not a trail for anyone with mobility issues, balance concerns, or limited stamina. Poles, proper footwear, water, and a hiking partner are strongly recommended.
Please reconsider before taking this on if you’re unsure. There are many safer, scenic alternatives nearby.

翻译：给老年和普通徒步者的重要现实检验——这条步道并非“中等难度”
我最近徒步了涟漪岩步道，想为其他老年和普通徒步者提供一个更真实的视角。虽然这条步道通常被评为“中等难度”，但我认为这个评级大大低估了这条步道对体力和安全的实际要求。
预期：
• 几段非常陡峭的路段，岩石松散、参差不齐，需要稳固的立足点和平衡感。
• 需要攀爬——这条步道并非平整的步道。有时你需要用手。
• 必须翻越至少4-5棵倒下的大树——没有简单的变通方法。
• 最后1公里是一段相当陡峭的上坡，阳光充足，而且你很快就会感到疲惫。
• 跌倒可能造成严重后果，而且救援渠道非常有限。如果你步履蹒跚或独自徒步，请三思。
我的身体状况很好，但仍然觉得相当困难。由于高温、坡度大、地形崎岖且地处偏远，这条路线不适合行动不便、平衡能力差或体力有限的人。强烈建议携带登山杖、合适的鞋子、饮用水，并有徒步伙伴陪同。
如果您不确定是否要尝试这条路线，请三思。附近有很多更安全、风景更优美的替代路线。
