点评:This is a very picturesque Waterfall that falls in several steps on the Van Trump Creek in Pierce County. The total height of the Falls is 69 feet. Our first view was the top part was right off the road on the left side where the gushing water cascades down for 32 feet. If you want to see the rest of the Falls, you must cross the road and then hike down a short path with a few steps. There is a landing from where you can capture most of the beauty. The multi-tiered 37-foot lower part of the fall framed by the cobblestone bridge is simply stunning. That bridge adds to the rustic beauty of the surroundings. This lower area would obviously be the most photographed part.
Parking is very limited near the top tier, so our tour van dropped us off there, and then parked across the bridge in a wider area. After viewing the top tier, we hiked down to the lower tier and then walked across the windy bridge to admire and photograph the drop-dead gorgeous views of the Nisqually River and the Valley below. Luckily for us, there was lots of water flowing on the morning that we visited.
The Falls are named in honor of Christine Van Trump. In 1889, this nine-year old girl accompanied by her father climbed up to the 10,000-foot level of the mountain, even though she had a crippling nervous disorder. A well-deserved honor for her.
It is one of the few Falls that people stop at, but in my opinion, this area is a “Must See”. Please be aware of the traffic as you cross back and forth on the bridge to get your photos.
翻译:这是皮尔斯县范特朗普溪上一座风景如画的瀑布,分几级落差而下。瀑布总高69英尺。我们首先看到的是瀑布顶部,就在路边左侧,奔腾的瀑布飞流直下32英尺。如果您想欣赏瀑布的其余部分,必须过马路,然后沿着一条几级台阶的小路徒步而下。那里有一个平台,您可以从那里捕捉到大部分的美景。瀑布底部37英尺高的多层瀑布,被鹅卵石桥环绕,景色令人叹为观止。这座桥为周围的乡村风情增添了美感。显然,这片低洼区域是拍照最多的部分。
顶层附近的停车位非常有限,所以我们的旅游车把我们送到了那里,然后把车停在桥对面一个更开阔的地方。看完顶层后,我们徒步下到下层,然后穿过蜿蜒的桥,欣赏并拍摄尼斯夸利河和山谷的壮丽景色。幸运的是,我们参观的那天早上,水流很急。
这座瀑布以克里斯汀·范·特朗普的名字命名。1889年,这位九岁的女孩在父亲的陪伴下,不顾严重的神经疾病,成功攀登到海拔10000英尺的山峰。这对她来说实至名归。
这是少数几个人们会驻足观赏的瀑布之一,但在我看来,这里是“必看”景点。上下桥拍照时,请注意交通。
