点评:This hike used to be our favorite hike in all Utah, however in our most recent experience, we have decided to stay clear away from it. Not worth all the hype.
We arrived at around 7:00AM on a Saturday and the parking lot was almost full already, we are used to either having our annual National Park Pass but this year we did not buy one, so we were ready with singles to pay our fee, I grabbed an envelope and paid our day fee, which it used to be $5.00 for 1-3 day not the $10.00 entrance fee that it is now. We do not mind paying it because we are used to paying, but we are also used to having park rangers maintain the facilities. I noticed that we were the only ones actually paying for the fee, many other users ignored the required fees and went along with their hike, and there wasn't any body to enforce this payment.
We tried to use the restrooms by the parking lot area but they had signs that read something along the line of: Septic tank is full and restrooms are "temporarily closed"
they had set up one single port-a-potty for everyone and when we went in, it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, IT WAS FULL WITH POOP TO THE TOP, I could not physically use it, so I decided I was going to hold it in.
We did not want this single incident ruin our hike so we moved on, there was too many people on the trail to really enjoy, many being really loud, ruining the one single reason why you go to nature. You could not hear birds because of people talking loudly or people's loud music playing. On the hike we encountered a lot of dog poop as well, many dog owners come to this hike and leave their dog's excrement behind, making it really unpleasant.
THIS HIKE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED, THE RESTROOMS ARE FULL OF POOP TO THE TOP AND TRAIL IS FULL OF DOG POOP. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PARKING AND NOT WORTH IT.
翻译:这条徒步路线曾经是我们在犹他州最喜欢的路线,然而最近的一次体验让我们决定避开它。它不值那么多宣传。
我们周六早上7点左右到达,停车场几乎已经满了。我们以前习惯买国家公园年票,但今年没有买,所以我们准备了单程票来支付费用。我拿了一个信封,付了当天的费用,以前1-3天的门票是5美元,现在要10美元。我们不介意付,因为我们已经习惯了付费,而且我们也习惯了公园管理员维护设施。我发现只有我们自己付了费用,其他很多游客都忽略了必要的费用,跟着他们一起徒步,而且也没有人强制执行这项付费规定。
我们想去停车场旁边的洗手间,但他们的告示牌上写着类似这样的话:化粪池已满,洗手间“暂时关闭”。他们只为每个人设置了一个移动厕所,我们进去的时候,里面简直恶心极了,粪便直冲云霄,我实在没法用,所以决定忍住。
我们不想让这件事毁了我们的徒步旅行,所以我们继续往前走。路上人太多了,根本没法好好享受,很多人还很吵闹,破坏了你去大自然的唯一目的。你根本听不到鸟儿的叫声,因为人们大声说话或播放着震耳欲聋的音乐。在徒步旅行中,我们还遇到了很多狗屎,很多狗主人来参加这次徒步旅行,把狗的粪便留在了那里,真是令人不快。
这条徒步路线已经无人维护,洗手间一直到山顶都堆满了粪便,步道上也满是狗屎。停车位不足,不值得停车。
