点评:My initial purpose for visiting Salt Creek was:
(1) Something to do between Ashland & Silverton before our afternoon check-in; (2) motoring thru the Oregon countryside; and (3) Waterfalls are amazing to view; and (4) It's the 2nd highest in the state.
Nevertheless, nothing prepared me for the experience. I literally said, "Wow" upon my initial views.
Our previous visit to Oregon had led us to the autumn foliage of Lithia Park, but that paled in comparison to these fall colors in a natural setting, replete with a lovely cascade.
Many travelers have commented on the convenience of a natural landmark right off the highway, as well as something to break up a long drive and stretch ones legs. This is true. (Speaking of "pit stops," there's 2 vault restrooms at the Sno-Park location, 0.4 miles away).
From the 1st observation deck, there's a 0.5-mile descent on a gravel path. For some, it might be a moderate hike, especially when wet, so you might consider walking poles. And of course, wear shoes with good footing.
This is a memorable visit.
翻译:我最初访问 Salt Creek 的目的是:
(1) 在下午入住之前在 Ashland 和 Silverton 之间做点什么;(2) 驾车穿越俄勒冈州的乡村;(3) 瀑布景色令人惊叹;(4) 它是该州第二高的瀑布。
尽管如此,我还是没有做好任何准备来体验。看到第一眼的景色时,我真的说了“哇”。
我们之前访问俄勒冈州时曾去过 Lithia Park 欣赏秋叶,但与这些自然环境中的秋叶相比,那简直是小巫见大巫,那里有美丽的瀑布。
许多旅行者都评论说,高速公路旁就有自然地标,很方便,可以休息一下,舒展一下腿脚。这是真的。(说到“维修站”,Sno-Park 有 2 个拱顶卫生间,距离 0.4 英里)。
从第一个观景台出发,沿着碎石路走 0.5 英里即可到达。对于某些人来说,这可能是一次中等程度的徒步旅行,尤其是在潮湿的时候,所以你可能要考虑带上手杖。当然,还要穿稳固的鞋子。
这是一次难忘的旅行。
