Third Best Hike in Ontario and Best Way to See the Gorge for Free
Niagara Glen Nature Areas的点评
点评：Yes, the falls are amazing and what you come to see, but the Niagara Gorge is something you will want to experience when you are here. While things like the Niagara City Cruises and Journey Behind the Falls will take you into the Gorge, hiking down in it is an amazing experience in Niagara. The Niagara Glen Nature Center is not the only place you can hike in the gorge; it is probably the only free one. I was torn between visiting the Glean Nature Area or the White Water Walk. I chose this activity because it offered more of the gorge experience and it was free, aside from parking cost. Judging from the size of the parking lot, it can get crowded; however, at noon on Labor Day Saturday, it was easy to get a space and still feel relatively along on the trails. From parking to leaving which included making the river and using the restroom, we spent exactly an hour here.
We visited Niagara Glen Nature after we had already seen the falls, taken the City Cruise and journeyed behind the falls as we returning to Toronto. If you drive Niagara River Parkway down river around the whirlpool bend, you will come to a city park with paid parking which is Niagara Glen Nature Area. The park has many amenities on the rim including picnic tables and grill, a visitor's center and most importantly restrooms. You can enjoy a nice level park on the rim with walking paths that allow you to enjoy the view into the gorge. If you are adventurous, you will see a metal staircase that allows you to descend the gorge cliff to a great set of trails that will take you to the water.
We descended the stairs to hike the 1.6 mile, 305 feet vertical elevation gain, #3 trail in Ontario to see the river and gorge. They are numerous trails which you enter the gorge. While AllTrails starts north, downriver, we went south upriver which is the steeper descent but gets you to the river quicker. We made the river and got some great pictures of the gorge, and we even got to see a jetboat running the rapids. We then began the journey up and again were back to our car within the hour time we had purchased for our parking ticket.

翻译：没错，尼亚加拉瀑布确实壮观无比，也是人们前来观赏的亮点。不过，尼亚加拉峡谷同样值得一体验。虽然像尼亚加拉城市游船和“瀑布背后之旅”这类项目能带您深入峡谷，但徒步穿越峡谷本身也是一次无比美妙的体验。尼亚加拉格伦自然中心并非峡谷中唯一可供徒步的地方，但它很可能是唯一一个免费开放的地点。我当时在“格伦自然区”和“白水步道”之间犹豫不决呢。我选择了这项活动，因为它能让人更好地体验峡谷风光，而且除了停车费外无需支付任何费用。从停车场的规模来看，这里可能经常人满为患；不过在劳动节那个周六的中午，我们很容易就找到了停车位，而且在步道上行走时也感觉相对清静。从停车处出发到离开，包括走到河边和使用洗手间，我们在这里总共只待了一个小时。
我们是在看完瀑布之后才去尼亚加拉峡谷自然公园的。在返回多伦多的途中，我们乘坐了城市游船，还游览了瀑布后方。如果你沿着尼亚加拉河公园大道朝下游方向行驶，经过漩涡弯后，就会到达一个设有收费停车场的城市公园——尼亚加拉格伦自然区。公园边缘设有许多设施，包括野餐桌和烧烤架、游客中心，最重要的是卫生间。你可以沿着平坦的步道在公园中漫步，尽情欣赏峡谷的壮丽景色。如果你喜欢冒险的话……你会看到一个金属楼梯，沿着它可以下到峡谷的悬崖下，那里有一系列小径可通往河边。
我们沿着楼梯下去，徒步走了这条安大略省排名第三的步道。这段路程长约1.6英里，垂直落差达305英尺。有许多条小径都能通往峡谷，虽然AllTrails上标注的路线是从北边、顺着河流方向走，但我们选择从南边逆着河流方向前行——这条路坡度更陡，但能更快抵达河边。我们顺着河流前行，拍到了许多峡谷的绝美照片，甚至还目睹了一艘喷气快艇在急流中穿行。随后我们开始返程，结果在购买的停车票所允许的1小时时限内顺利回到了车上。
