点评:I'm reviewing the Bald Mountain/Artist Bluff Trail as they are usually listed together and start at the same trailhead. This hike is typically described as easy and a big payoff for minimal effort. When you start at the trailhead, go left to go clockwise. The hike is very doable as you make your way to the sign where the two trails split. If you want to go to Bald Mountain, the more difficult of the two, follow the arrow and go left at the split. As you near the top, you will come to large rock with little to hang on to. Hiking shoes and even hiking poles are recommended here. We found that to be challenging, but we did it. Once past those, it is a short hike to the top. The view is worth it if you want to put in the effort to get there. Then, in order to do the Artist Bluff loop, you will go back down the large rock and backtrack to the sign where the two trails split. From there, you follow the arrow and go right to Artist Bluff. This hike is also rocky and rooty, but a nice little challenge with the proper footwear. Everyone around us kept asking "did we miss it?". No, just keep going and going, some of which will go down, but you still haven't missed it. Follow the (infrequent) red markings until you reach the Artist Bluff viewing area, which overlooks the Notch with the road running through it. After enjoying that view, you continue on in the same direction to complete to loop, taking you back to the parking lot.
翻译:我正在评论秃山/艺术家悬崖步道,因为它们通常列在一起,并从同一个起点开始。这条徒步路线通常被描述为很容易,用最少的努力获得最大的回报。当你从起点出发时,向左走顺时针方向。当你走到两条步道分叉的标志时,这条徒步路线非常可行。如果你想去秃山,两者中更难的那一个,请跟着箭头走,在分叉处左转。当你接近山顶时,你会看到一块大石头,几乎没有什么可以抓住的。这里建议穿登山鞋,甚至带上登山杖。我们发现这很有挑战性,但我们做到了。一旦过了这些,就到山顶了。如果你想付出努力到达那里,那里的景色是值得的。然后,为了完成艺术家悬崖环路,你将沿着大石头往下走,然后原路返回到两条步道分叉的标志。从那里,你跟着箭头向右走到艺术家悬崖。这条徒步路线虽然崎岖不平,但只要穿上合适的鞋子,还是不失为一个小小的挑战。周围的人都在问:“我们是不是错过了?” 不,继续往前走,虽然有些路段会下坡,但你仍然没有错过。沿着(偶尔出现的)红色标记走,直到到达艺术家崖观景区,那里可以俯瞰峡谷,还有一条路贯穿其中。欣赏完美景后,你可以继续沿着原路走,走完一个环路,回到停车场。
