Best Hike in Grand Canyon - Amazing at Least to Ooh Aah Point
南凯坝小径的点评
点评：I have been to Grand Canyon National Park 4 times, and I have only used Bright Angel Trail to go into the canyon. However, before taking 7 other couples to the park, I had a hometown friend tell me to take South Kaibab to Ooh Aah Point for a great canyon experience and for that we were all richly rewarded.
On our last day as we left Grand Canyon for Page, we stopped at South Kaibab on our we out starting our hike at 8:00 AM. Even that time parking spaces along the road were starting to fill, but we all got spaces and a fun 0.5 mile one way hike along the rim. After a restroom break at the trailhead, we all began our descent into the Canyon. The hike to Ooh Aah point on South Kaibab is two miles round trip with 662 feet of elevation gain which is a good, sweet spot for a group of fourteen 50 and 60 year olds.
The great thing about hiking in the desert and Grand Canyon specifically, is you can really see where you will be hiking and what is in front of you. As you begin, the descent is immediately with a series of switchbacks as you move down the sheer canyon walls. It then levels to a long stretch of trail that parallels the ridge to Yaki Point, before a further descent with only a couple of switchbacks to Ooh Aah point.
The entire hike is beautiful and incredible from amazing views of the canyon walls to the most incredible views of the canyon from inside at Ooh Aah point. While there were people on the trail, for a regular hike much less in Grand Canyon, it was not crowded until you reach Ooh Aah point. At the point there were several groups resting and taking pictures just as we did so you may have to wait a couple of minutes to get that perfect photo; however, this is the place to do it. The good thing is you can find someone to take your picture and the person we found had been giving a squirrel water from his water bottle, see the picture.
We then hiked back up, and it was not that bad, even the more vertical part near the trailhead. Along the way we got amazing photos. In all from car to car, including the 1.0 round trip on the rim, the hike took us two hours, and it was probably our best hike in Grand Canyon. Just like the rim, the more places you can see the canyon from, the more incredible it is. Do as many different trails as you can into the canyon, but if you can only do one, hike this one to at least Ooh Aah point.

翻译：我曾四次造访大峡谷国家公园，每次都是沿着 Bright Angel Trail 进入峡谷。不过，在带领另外7对夫妇前往公园之前，一位老乡建议我带他们走 South Kaibab Trail 前往 Ooh Aah Point，称这样能获得绝佳的峡谷体验。结果我们确实收获颇丰。
最后一天，当我们离开大峡谷前往佩奇时，我们在返程途中停在了 South Kaibab Trail 入口处，并于早上8点开始徒步。即便在那个时候，路边的停车位也开始变得紧张起来。不过我们都有足够的空间，还能沿着峡谷边缘进行一次有趣的、单程0.5英里的徒步。在步道起点处上了个厕所后，我们便开始向峡谷中下行。从南凯巴布小径前往“哦啊点”的往返路程为两英里，海拔上升了662英尺——对于十四个年龄在50到60岁之间的成员组成的团队来说，这个难度恰到好处。
在沙漠地区徒步，尤其是在大峡谷中徒步，最棒的一点就是你能清楚地看到自己将要走的路线以及前方有什么景致。刚开始时……下山时，需沿着陡峭的峡谷壁连续穿过多个之字形弯道。随后道路变得平坦，形成一条沿山脊延伸的长步道，一直通向雅基点；再往下则只需经过几个之字形弯道便能抵达乌阿点。
整段徒步旅程都美得令人惊叹：从峡谷壁的壮美景致，到从乌阿点俯瞰峡谷时的绝伦视野，无一不令人叹为观止。虽然沿途也有其他徒步者，但这对于大峡谷而言，仍算是人流相对较少的常规徒步路线。直到到达Ooh Aah Point时才变得有些拥挤。在那里，有好几组游客像我们一样正在休息和拍照，所以你可能需要等上几分钟才能拍到理想的照片；不过，这里绝对是拍照的绝佳地点。好的一点是你可以找到人帮你拍照，我们遇到的那个人还用水壶给一只松鼠喂水呢，请看照片。
之后我们徒步返回，过程倒也不算太艰难，就连靠近起点处较为陡峭的路段也还好。一路上我们拍到了很多精彩的照片。从一辆车到另一辆车，再加上沿着峡谷边缘往返1.0英里的路程，这次徒步总共花了我们两个小时，这或许是我们在大峡谷经历过最棒的徒步之旅了。和沿着峡谷边缘行走一样，你能从越多的地方观赏到大峡谷，它就越显得令人惊叹。尽量多尝试几条通往峡谷深处的步道吧；但如果你只能走一条，那就至少走到“Ooh Aah点”吧。
