点评:We did not do the Angels Landing but stopped at Scouts Overlook, as far as you can go without a permit.
Our initial goal was to take on the challenge of Walter’s Wiggles and ended up pushing onward to Scouts Overlook, which had absolutely incredible views!
What we didn’t realize was there was another set of switchbacks before the 21 at Walter’s Wiggles. So for the average people like me, it was definitely a challenging trail and took lots of short breaks. And for me personally, the first set of switchbacks were more strenuous than the set of 21 at Walter’s Wiggles. My 15-year-old had no issues and fully enjoyed it.
This trail is also challenging in certain sections for someone who’s afraid of heights. I had to stock to the wall side in certain sections. Though for most of the trail, there was shrubbery to obscure the drop offs of the cliff’s edge.
Once you reach the top of Walter’s Wiggles, there’s a set of portable pottys. It’s the only restrooms and it has really, really strong odors.
At this point, the views are nice and most people stop here. But if you go up another 15/20 minutes, the views are just much better. The path up isn’t narrow, just not smooth. This was a pretty flat area with smooth light color rocks. We came across less than 10 people while we were there.
From there, you can hike up another 15 minutes for even more spectacular views - though that walk is a bit narrower.
Overall, including resting for about 20/30 minutes, it took us about 3.5 hours round trip. Definitely bring lots of water and pace yourself - with water and taking breaks. But I think it’s so rewarding, even for someone who’s afraid of heights. And no photos will capture what you’ll see!
翻译:我们没有登上天使降临峰,而是在童子军观景台停了下来,这是没有许可证的情况下可以到达的最远的地方。
我们最初的目标是接受沃尔特斯威格斯山的挑战,最终我们继续前进到了童子军观景台,那里的景色绝对令人难以置信!
我们没有意识到在沃尔特斯威格斯山的 21 个弯道之前还有另一组折返弯道。所以对于像我这样的普通人来说,这绝对是一条具有挑战性的路线,需要多次短暂休息。就我个人而言,第一组折返弯道比沃尔特斯威格斯山的 21 个折返弯道更费力。我 15 岁的孩子没有遇到任何问题,并且非常享受它。
对于恐高的人来说,这条路线在某些部分也具有挑战性。在某些部分,我不得不靠墙行走。不过,在大部分路线上,都有灌木丛遮挡悬崖边缘的落差。
到达 Walter’s Wiggles 山顶后,你会发现一套便携式厕所。这是唯一的洗手间,而且气味非常非常浓烈。
此时,景色很美,大多数人都在这里停留。但如果你再往上走 15/20 分钟,景色会好得多。上山的路不窄,只是不平坦。这是一个相当平坦的区域,有光滑的浅色岩石。我们在那里遇到的人不到 10 个人。
从那里,你可以再徒步 15 分钟,欣赏更壮观的景色 - 虽然那条路有点窄。
总的来说,包括大约 20/30 分钟的休息时间,我们往返大约花了 3.5 小时。一定要带上大量的水,并控制好自己的节奏 - 喝水和休息。但我认为这非常值得,即使对于恐高的人来说也是如此。而且没有照片可以捕捉到你将看到的景色!
