A gentle sloping half-plus mile walk to an interesting overlook
Sunset Rock and Ravenel Park的点评
点评：We did this hike late in the day but did not hang around until the actual sunset. The trailhead is located about a half mile outside of Highlands. If you continue on the main street past 6th Street, you'll get to the parking area. This is basically some gravel spaces on the right side of the street as you approach. They have a sign here also. The only thing that bothered me here was trying to back out afterwards, but traffic isn't extremely heavy.
The trailhead is marked and is just beyond the parking area. The trail begins as a gravel driveway. You follow this for a while until you reach a couple of stone pillars and a gate. I assume whoever's driveway this is lives there. The path / gravel continues to the right and you just keep following that uphill. The trail length was listed as a half mile, but I think it is closer to 3/4 of a mile. The grade is not that steep, but it is a constant climb. You eventually reach a wider spot with 3 trails branching off. Two have signs. To the left is Sunrise Point. I'm not sure where the trail ahead goes. To the left is Sunset Point. Sunrise and Sunset Points have signs to direct you. We followed a smaller trail another 100 yards or so to an open space.
The end of the trail is an outcropping of wavy, uneven granite. It is gently sloped where the trail ends and gradually rolls off to more of a steep decline. You overlook the town's high school directly below the cliff. A bit further away to the right you can see downtown Highlands.
When we visited, there were several groups that had just arrived and were apparently planning to stay another ~ hour for the actual sunset. We had a dinner reservation, so after enjoying the view for a bit we headed back down. We passed a number of other couples headed up the trail to catch the sunset. If you do opt for this, you should definitely bring a headlamp or flashlight with you, as there did not appear to be any lights along the trail. '
If you have an hour and want to spend it on a walk, this is worth considering.

翻译：我们在傍晚时分开始徒步，但并没有一直待到日落。步道起点位于Highlands镇外约半英里处。沿着主街一直走，经过第六街后就能到达停车场。停车场其实就是靠近街道右侧的一些碎石空地，那里也有指示牌。唯一让我觉得不太方便的是后来倒车出去的时候，不过车流并不算特别密集。步道起点有标记，就在停车场的后面。步道一开始是一条碎石路，沿着这条路走一会儿后，你会看到几根石柱和一扇门。我猜这条路是某户人家的私人车道。之后道路继续向右延伸，你只需顺着它向上走即可。官方记载的步道长度约为半英里，但我觉得实际上更接近四分之三英里。坡度不算太陡，但全程都是上坡路。最终你会来到一个较宽阔的区域，这里有三条小径从中分出。其中两条小径上有指示牌。左边的是日出点。我不确定前方那条小径通向哪里。右边的是日落点。日出点和日落点都有指示牌指引方向。我们沿着其中一条稍窄些的小径走了大约100码，便来到了一片开阔地。
小径的尽头是一片起伏不平的花岗岩岩面。小径在此处坡度较缓，随后便逐渐变得陡峭起来。你可以看到悬崖正下方的镇上高中。再往右边一点，就能看到海兰兹镇的市中心。
我们去的时候，有几组游客刚刚到达，他们显然打算再待大约一个小时，等待真正的日落时刻。我们事先订好了晚餐，所以在欣赏了一会儿景色后便下山了。途中我们还遇到了不少也打算上山观赏日落的情侣。如果你也决定这么做的话……你绝对应该带上头灯或手电筒，因为沿途似乎没有任何照明设施。
如果你有一个小时的时间，想用来散步的话，这条路线值得考虑。
