点评:Great trip. We arrived at approximately 9 am and made our way towards the entrance of the trail. The parking lot was quite spacious and there were plenty of places to park. We opted to hike the Gorge Overlook Loop via Buckeye Trail, which was a roughly 6.2 mile loop trail around the park. We were able to view Cedar Falls and Old Man’s Cave on this route. The trail was moderate in nature and consisted of walking on an uneven dirt surface for a majority of the walk. The trail took us through a forest and we were able to enjoy gorgeous scenic views of several towering cliffs, multiple caves and waterfalls, a lake and various rock formations. The trail contained numerous sets of stairs and was quite uneven and rocky at times. There were several informational plaques on the trail, that detailed the history of the area. The midway point of the hike contained the visitors center, which we stopped at for a quick bathroom break. The only downside to this hike was there was only a small trickle of water where the waterfalls usually were, due to recent droughts in the area. .
Tip: I recommend spending 4 hours here if you truly want any to see everything.
翻译:很棒的旅程!我们大约上午9点到达,然后朝着步道入口走去。停车场很宽敞,有很多停车位。我们选择沿着七叶树步道徒步峡谷观景环路,这条步道环绕公园,长约6.2英里。在这条路线上,我们可以看到雪松瀑布和老人洞。步道难度适中,大部分路段都是在凹凸不平的泥土路面上行走。步道带我们穿过一片森林,欣赏到几座高耸的悬崖、多个洞穴和瀑布、一个湖泊以及各种岩层的壮丽景色。步道上有许多台阶,路面不平整,有时还布满岩石。步道上有几块信息牌,详细介绍了该地区的历史。徒步路线的中途有一个游客中心,我们在那里停下来上个厕所。这次徒步唯一的缺点是由于该地区最近干旱,瀑布通常所在的地方现在只有一小股水流。
小贴士:如果你真的想看遍所有景点,我建议你在这里待上 4 个小时。
