点评:My wife and I did this hike several years ago, but this time we brought our 3 small dogs and 2 children, age 3 and 17. It was harder than I remember on the way up, but we just took our time and took breaks whenever the kids or dogs needed it and made it up just fine. That would be my #1 recommendation - take your time & go at your own pace!
What to bring:
FLUIDS: We each brought a 32 oz. Hydroflask full of water, plus a few Gatorades to share. I think just the 32 oz of water would not be enough on its own, especially during the summer months.
FOOD: We brought a few protein bars which was plenty. However, there is plenty of room to set up a little picnic up at the falls and have sandwich or fruit or something fun.
CLOTHING: My son and I wore our Salomon hiking boots while my daughter and wife wore Hoka running shoes - they held up decently, but I would recommend hiking boots/shoes of some kind as the path has loose rocks in spots and the additional support would be helpful. Also if you plan on going under the waterfall or getting wet at all, be aware that hiking back down the trail in wet shoes/socks won't be fun, so plan accordingly. We went in July so I was fine in a T-Shirt and shorts, but you might want a long-sleeve in the fall/winter months.
OVERALL: The view from the falls is fantastic and the water was cool and refreshing to splash on our faces after a challenging hike through switchbacks up the mountain. Our 3-year old is a trooper and there were some other young kids on this hike, but it is not the easiest hike for youngins with its uphill climb and loose rocks along the way. However if you go at your own pace and grab a few snacks along the way, you'll have a great time! The trail is very dog-friendly - we saw dogs of all shapes and sizes along the trail - ours are smaller dogs and we carried them for a few of the more difficult sections of the trail but other than that they did the entire trail and had a great time!
翻译:我和我的妻子几年前曾进行过这次徒步旅行,但这次我们带着 3 只小狗和 2 个孩子,一个 3 岁,一个 17 岁。上山的路比我记忆中的要困难,但我们只是慢慢来,随时休息。孩子或狗需要它并且做得很好。这将是我的第一条建议——慢慢来,按照自己的节奏前进!
需要带些什么:
液体:我们每人带了 32 盎司。 Hydroflask 装满了水,还有一些佳得乐可供分享。我认为仅 32 盎司的水是不够的,尤其是在夏季。
食物:我们带了一些蛋白质棒,数量充足。不过,瀑布旁有足够的空间可以举办小型野餐,享用三明治、水果或其他有趣的东西。
服装:我和我的儿子穿着我们的 Salomon 登山鞋,而我的女儿和妻子穿着 Hoka 跑鞋 - 它们的支撑力不错,但我会推荐某种登山靴/鞋子,因为路上有松散的岩石,额外的支撑会乐于助人。另外,如果您打算去瀑布下或完全被淋湿,请注意,穿着湿鞋/袜子沿着小路徒步回来不会很有趣,因此请做好相应的计划。我们是 7 月份去的,所以我穿 T 恤和短裤就可以了,但在秋冬月份你可能需要长袖。
总体而言:瀑布的景色非常美,在经历了一次充满挑战的之字形上山徒步旅行后,水清凉清爽,溅在我们的脸上。我们三岁的孩子是一名士兵,这次徒步旅行还有其他一些小孩,但对于年轻人来说,这并不是最容易的徒步旅行,因为它是上坡路,沿途有松散的岩石。然而,如果您按照自己的节奏前进并沿途吃一些零食,您将会度过一段愉快的时光!这条小路对狗非常友好 - 我们沿着小路看到了各种形状和大小的狗 - 我们的狗较小,我们带着它们走过了小路的一些较困难的路段,但除此之外,它们完成了整个小路并有度过了一段美好的时光!
