点评:We completed this 3.7km ew trail today. Technically very easy but around half if it is steps. Lovely sunny 18 degrees at sea level. Up the top it was cold and windy - wish I'd taken gloves! Despite brief bursts of sun cloud, visibility was pretty poor due to the low clouds. Did manage to see the rock face and some autumn foliage for a short while which made up for the hike feeling a bit of a trudge.
There is the location to go on to a viewpoint which is an easy, flat further 2.1km ew but due to the poor visibility we didnt bother.
Couple of points to note. Access at this time of the year to start the hike is only from 5am to 12noon. Parking at start of trail gets very busy. We arrived at 9.30am and had to wait for 25min for a spot. Maybe better to arrive earlier or later or on a weeday as we wnt on a Saturday. There is another parking area but it's 2.5km away so you have to hike this ew too. It's a very popular spot and there is a lot of people.
翻译:今天我们走完了这条3.7公里的东向步道。虽然技术难度不高,但大约一半的路程都是台阶。阳光明媚,气温宜人,海平面温度18度。到了山顶,寒风凛冽——真后悔没带手套!尽管偶尔会有阳光透过云层洒下来,但由于云层很低,能见度很差。不过,我们还是短暂地看到了岩壁和一些秋天的树叶,这弥补了徒步过程中略显吃力的不足。
步道尽头还有一个可以继续前往观景点的路,那是一条轻松平坦的东向步道,长2.1公里,但由于能见度太差,我们没有去。
有几点需要注意。每年的这个时候,步道的开放时间只有早上5点到中午12点。步道起点的停车场非常拥挤。我们早上9点半到达,等了25分钟才找到停车位。也许早点或晚点到达会更好,或者选择在工作日去,因为我们是周六去的。还有一个停车场,但是距离这里2.5公里,所以你还得徒步过去。这里是个很受欢迎的景点,人很多。
