点评:We have been staying in Scottsdale for a month and have been trying to explore all the canal trails available. I would recommend the Arizona canal trail west all the way to the 101 and you can even keep going out into the farming fields if you want. The area around downtown Scottsdale is very nice and the cross cut canal ,that heads south from the Arizona trail, is also very good all the way down to lake Tempe. Today we attempted to go west on the Arizona canal trail and had to give up due to homeless people. The trail going west from Scottsdale to the Biltmore area is good but once you cross under HW 51 you will find homeless in many of the underpasses and more garbage both around and in the canal. When we got to the I-17 underpass, which is very long, we encountered 1/2 a dozen homeless in the long dark tunnel and we didn't feel safe to continue, so turned around. It is too bad this experience tarnished our overall impression of the Arizona canal trail but my advise is avoid the section around I-17.
翻译:我们在斯科茨代尔已经呆了一个月,一直在尝试探索所有可用的运河小径。我推荐沿着亚利桑那运河小径向西一直到 101 号公路,如果你愿意,你甚至可以继续前往农田。斯科茨代尔市中心周围的地区非常漂亮,从亚利桑那小径向南延伸到坦佩湖的横切运河也非常好。今天我们试图沿着亚利桑那运河小径向西走,但因为无家可归的人而不得不放弃。从斯科茨代尔向西到比尔特莫尔地区的小径很好,但一旦你穿过 HW 51 的下方,你会发现许多地下通道里都有无家可归的人,运河周围和里面都有更多的垃圾。当我们到达非常长的 I-17 地下通道时,我们在长长的黑暗隧道中遇到了半打无家可归的人,我们觉得继续前行不安全,所以掉头回去了。很遗憾这次经历损害了我们对亚利桑那运河步道的整体印象,但我的建议是避开 I-17 周围的路段。
