点评:It has been 20 years since we did the peak. We decided to reach it from trail #9 up and back based on reviews. We arrived on a holiday Monday at 8 a.m. and the parking lot was 2/3 full. It was overcast and 64 degrees so it made for a great day to hike. On our way up we passed one person and saw 20 coming down and by the time we left the fire tower, we saw 100+ people trying to summit the peak. The first 20 minutes of the trail you gain quite a bit of elevation. The next 40 minutes are pretty flat and you actually lose a lot of the elevation you gained. The next 45 minutes is a slow climb back up. It took us 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to the top and 1.5 hours to get down. Total distance was 6.9 miles, and we had elevation gain of 1,478 feet. Go early to get the best parking because #9 trailhead is popular. Two hikers went through four bottles of water. Highly recommend hiking boats.
翻译:我们已经有20年没登过这座山顶了。根据其他游人的评价,我们决定从9号步道出发,登顶后再原路返回。我们于一个节假日的周一早上8点到达,此时停车场已经停了三分之二的车。当天多云,气温为64华氏度,是徒步的绝佳天气。上行途中我们只遇到一个人,而往下走时则看到有20人正从山上下来;等我们离开火塔时,又看到100多人正试图登上山顶。这条步道的开头20分钟里,海拔上升得非常快。接下来的40分钟路况相当平坦,实际上你会失去之前爬升获得的不少高度。再之后的45分钟则是一条缓慢上升的上坡路。我们花了1小时45分钟才登顶,下山则用了1个半小时。全程距离为6.9英里,累计爬升高度达1,478英尺。由于9号步道入口很受欢迎,建议早点出发以便找到停车位。有两位徒步者总共喝掉了四瓶水。强烈推荐穿徒步鞋出行。
