Purgatory Chasm State Reservation的点评
点评：Hadn't been here in decades and was looking for an autumn walk in the woods. Started at the visitor center. Not much inside. Open central space with clean rest rooms (grateful for that!), a ranger office with a window whose wooden shingle was down (but door was open so I was able to ask a question), a walk of photos, and a primitive map mounted on the wall.
Was hoping for a tra map to take. None available. I realize this cuts down on paper use and potential litter but I wasn't sure I'd be able to get (Verizon) cell service on the trails since I often lose service in southern Blackstone Valley.
My main observation is that this is not a local for an easy, mindless dip into nature. Even if you are not in an area that involves stepping over or climbing on rocks, you need to *pay attention* to 85% of the steps you take because you are walking on endless root structures, embedded stones of various sizes, and a layer of leaves and pine needles that can be slippery. This is hilly terrain.
If you are looking to be able to lose yourself in the sights or sounds of a forest, this is not the place. Constant vigilance of foot placement is required. No special footwear is needed - sneakers are fine for almost everyone, but you need to look down *constantly.*
At times I was getting dizzy watching the world fly by in my peripheral vision while my eyes were fixed on the ground to plan every step. It would be so easy to slip and sprain or fracture something, and you'd have a terrible time hiking back out.
There is insufficient signage and trail information in my opinion. The trails are marked by splotches of coloured paint on trees and sometimes on rocks embedded in the ground. There is no indication on the trail signage how long or steel the trail is - only the trail names. Nowhere except at the parking area so you find a map, and the map is one of the poorest visual representations of a trail system I've seen. It needs to be updated and stylized so that it communicates needed information much more effectively.
At one point about 30 min into our hike on the Charlie Loop, we came to an intersection of several trails with absolutely no information about any of them except their names. We started down one trail only to have to backtrack and retrace all of our steps back to the car because the second trail we turned into became nothing but a rock like that we weren't in a position climb.
We spent about 2 hours on trails and saw no wildlife, not even a squirrel. Very rarely did we hear any bird sounds and we never got got a glimpse of any birds. There is no flowing water here. What you see are trees and boulders.
We support open lands and public recreation space. The $5 parking fee for MA license plates and $20 fee for out of state plates didn't bother us but we wouldn't be thrilled to pay $20 here.
There are picnic tables sprinkled on either side of the main trafficked road that cuts through the park. Besides the visitors center, there are no other structures or manmade features.
You will get to see a nearly extinct species known as the "public pay phone" at the beginning of the chasm trail, however!
The attached photos just show the terrain and illustrate the need to watch almost every step, at least on the Charlie Loop. We chose that trail because others consisted of pure rocks.

翻译：几十年没来过这里了，想在秋天的树林里散步。从游客中心开始。里面没什么。开放的中央空间，有干净的休息室（很感激！），护林员办公室，窗户的木瓦是放下的（但门是开着的，所以我可以问一个问题），一路上都是照片，墙上挂着一张原始地图。
希望能带上一张地图。没有。我知道这可以减少纸张使用和潜在的垃圾，但我不确定我是否能在小径上获得（Verizon）手机服务，因为我经常在 Blackstone Valley 南部失去服务。
我的主要观察是，这不是一个可以轻松、无意识地融入大自然的地方。即使你不在需要跨过或攀爬岩石的区域，你也需要*注意* 85% 的脚步，因为你要走在无尽的根结构、各种大小的嵌入式石头上，以及一层可能很滑的树叶和松针上。这是丘陵地形。
如果您想在森林的景色或声音中迷失自我，这里不适合您。需要时刻注意脚下的位置。不需要特殊的鞋子 - 运动鞋几乎适合所有人，但您需要*不断*低头。
有时我会头晕目眩，看着世界在我的余光中飞逝而过，而我的眼睛则盯着地面，计划着每一步。很容易滑倒、扭伤或骨折，而且徒步返回时会非常痛苦。
在我看来，标识和路径信息不足。路径由树木上的彩色油漆斑点标记，有时也由嵌入地面的岩石标记。路径标识上没有指示路径有多长或多坚固 - 只有路径名称。除了停车场外，没有其他地方可以找到地图，而且地图是我见过的路径系统最差的视觉表现之一。它需要更新和风格化，以便更有效地传达所需的信息。
在 Charlie Loop 上徒步大约 30 分钟后，我们来到了几条小径的交叉口，除了它们的名字外，没有任何关于它们的信息。我们沿着一条小径开始，结果不得不原路返回，并沿着我们所有的路线返回汽车，因为我们转向的第二条小径变成了一块我们无法攀爬的岩石。
我们在小径上花了大约 2 个小时，没有看到野生动物，甚至连松鼠都没有。我们很少听到任何鸟叫声，也从未瞥见任何鸟。这里没有流水。你看到的是树木和巨石。
我们支持开放土地和公共休闲空间。马萨诸塞州车牌的 5 美元停车费和州外车牌的 20 美元停车费并没有困扰我们，但我们不会在这里支付 20 美元。
穿过公园的主要交通道路两侧散布着野餐桌。除了游客中心外，没有其他建筑或人造景观。
不过，在峡谷步道的起点处，您会看到一种几乎灭绝的物种，被称为“公共付费电话”！
所附照片仅显示了地形，并说明了需要注意几乎每一步，至少在查理环道上。我们选择那条步道是因为其他步道都是纯岩石。
