点评:We were a group of eight, out for the day to explore Malcolm Island. We drove through the campground to the parking area at the trailhead within Bere Point Regional Park. There’s a tire swing just off the parking lot some of our group enjoyed before we hit the trail. Its a short stroll through the rain forest to an observation deck and the first set of stairs down to the oceanfront. Most of our group opted to park themselves on the beach right there where they enjoyed watching the marine wildlife (whales, seals, and sea birds) and searching for interesting stones or beach glass. A couple of us wanted to stretch our legs a bit more, so after wandering up the beach to explore the small research station located there, we climbed back up to the trail and continued on.
We had had a few days of heavy rain just prior, and there are naturally boggy sections as well so make sure you have appropriate footwear. The path meanders through the forest, with several sections of wooden bridges or boardwalk, some in quite ill repair. There are some lovely large trees, and an abundance of flora to explore. We didn’t go all the way to the point as we were pressed for time, but found a lovely large tree right beside the path, overlooking the water where we sat quietly for a few moments to meditate and forest bathe. Ironically, this was the point when another couple of hikers and their friendly dog happened by, the only other people we saw all day! This is really a lovely, relatively easy and enjoyable trail. It’s an out and back trail, not a loop so gauge your time, and go as far as you are comfortable with before turning about.
翻译:我们一行八人,出去探索马尔科姆岛一天。我们开车穿过露营地,到达比尔角地区公园步道起点处的停车场。在我们上路之前,我们团队的一些人在停车场附近有一个轮胎秋千。步行一小段路程即可穿过雨林到达观景台,然后通过第一组楼梯即可到达海滨。我们团队中的大多数人选择将自己停在海滩上,在那里他们喜欢观看海洋野生动物(鲸鱼、海豹和海鸟)并寻找有趣的石头或沙滩玻璃。我们几个人想多伸展一下腿,所以在海滩漫步探索那里的小研究站后,我们爬回小路并继续前进。
之前我们下了几天大雨,自然也有沼泽地段,所以请确保你有合适的鞋子。这条小路蜿蜒穿过森林,有几段木桥或木板路,其中一些年久失修。这里有一些可爱的大树和丰富的植物可供探索。由于时间紧迫,我们没有一路走到目的地,而是在路边发现了一棵可爱的大树,俯瞰着水面,我们静静地坐了一会儿冥想和森林浴。讽刺的是,就在这时,另一对徒步旅行者和他们友好的狗恰好经过,他们是我们一整天看到的唯一的其他人!这确实是一条可爱的、相对轻松且令人愉快的步道。这是一条来回路线,而不是环形路线,因此请衡量好您的时间,并在转身之前走尽可能远的距离。
