点评:We were in Elkins Riding the Train but I wanted to stop here to check out the Alum Cave Trail. We didn't have a ton of time but if you have 1-2 hours you can check this place out no problem. It was about 25 minutes from Elkins and pretty easy to find, however we were not sure where to park (see my map with the arrow of where to park) When you cross over the bridge across the river, park in the first parking area to the right, park and then walk across the street to the trail, you will pass restrooms and a creepy playground, I suggest walking the trail counter clockwise so you get all the views on the upper part of the trail. I saw some reviews saying the trail is easy, I would not say this, it is more of a moderate trail, there are elevation changes and lots of tree roots so footing can be unstable if you have issues with this. I highly recommend hiking boots for this trail for the ankle support as there are lots of trip hazards and roots. The views are gorgeous here and walking under the caves was so beautiful, if you're in the area this is worth a stop.
翻译:我们在埃尔金斯坐火车,但我想在这里停下来看看明矾洞步道。我们没有很多时间,但如果你有 1-2 个小时,你可以毫无问题地看看这个地方。它距离埃尔金斯大约 25 分钟路程,很容易找到,但是我们不确定在哪里停车(见我的地图,上面有停车箭头)当你过河上的桥时,把车停在右边的第一个停车区,停车后穿过街道走到小径,你会经过卫生间和一个令人毛骨悚然的游乐场,我建议逆时针行走,这样你就能欣赏到小径上部的所有风景。我看到一些评论说这条路很容易,我不会这么说,它更像是一条中等难度的步道,有海拔变化和许多树根,所以如果你在这方面有问题,立足点可能会不稳定。我强烈建议在这条小径上穿登山靴,以支撑脚踝,因为这里有很多绊倒危险和树根。这里的景色非常美丽,在洞穴下散步的感觉非常美妙,如果你在这个地区,这里值得停下来。
