点评:I was lucky enough to do this trail as Storm Hilary just passed through. It meant I didn't get the regular August blue skies, but what I saw was arguably more special. For instance I stood on Panorama Point, alone, looking down on a rainbow that arched across the valley in front of Half Dome. The waterfalls had all been boosted by rain from the storm. Cloud and mist generally added to the atmosphere and photos, even if I did sometimes have to wait a little for it to sufficiently clear.
However, assuming you are here in normal summer conditions it would still be an absolute treat.
Going downhill from Glacier Point is long but not exhausting. There is only one real uphill section (15 minutes or so coming back up from Illiouette Creek).
You tick off so many iconic views. You start at Glacier Point. You then walk down to Illiouette Falls on a trail that has views of Half Dome and nevada/vernal falls which compare to those at Washburn Point. You then see Illiouette falls with Half Dome behind. Make sure you DO NOT miss Panorama Point/Panorama Cliff (it is not marked). You then have Nevada Falls (including a great view shortly after the trail meets the JMT heading away from the falls of the falls with Liberty Cap behind - though if you keep going this way then you'll miss being on top of the falls themselves) and Vernal Falls.
Its an absolute classic, and whilst busy at Glacier Point and once you hit the JMT/Nevada Falls the bit between is fairly quiet.
Brilliant walk.
翻译:我很幸运能在风暴希拉里刚刚经过时走这条路。这意味着我没有得到通常的八月蓝天,但我看到的可以说是更特别的。例如,我独自站在全景角,俯视着半圆顶前面的山谷中的一道彩虹。瀑布全都被暴风雨冲刷了。云和雾通常会增加气氛和照片,即使有时我需要等待一段时间才能足够清晰。
然而,假设您在正常的夏季条件下来到这里,这仍然绝对是一种享受。
从冰川点下山虽然漫长,但并不累。只有一段真正的上坡路段(从伊利奥埃特溪回来大约需要 15 分钟)。
你勾选了很多标志性的观点。您从冰川点开始。然后,您沿着一条小径步行前往伊利尤埃特瀑布 (Illioette Falls),这里可以欣赏到半圆顶 (Half Dome) 和内华达/春天瀑布 (Nevada/vernal Falls) 的景色,与沃什伯恩角 (Washburn Point) 的景色相比。然后您会看到伊利尤埃特瀑布,半圆顶在后面。确保您不要错过全景点/全景悬崖(未标记)。然后您会看到内华达瀑布(包括在小径与 JMT 相遇后不久,您会看到远离瀑布瀑布的美景,后面是自由帽 - 不过如果您继续沿着这条路走,那么您将错过瀑布本身的感觉)和弗纳尔瀑布。
这绝对是经典之作,当您在冰川点 (Glacier Point) 忙碌时,一旦您到达 JMT/内华达瀑布 (Nevada Falls),中间就会相当安静。
辉煌的步行。
