点评:The full Great Island Trail is a little over 5-miles long: starts with a 1/2-mile downhill walk from a parking lot down to a large cove, then proceeds up and over a ridge covered in woods with plenty of roots and rocks/boulders, emerges onto a sandy beach with dunes. The beach wraps around the island and ultimately returns you to the bottom of the hill down from the parking lot where you started. Before MS reduced my walking endurance, it was my long-time favorite hike anywhere on the Cape: moderate walking, exceptional beauty. Nowadays, (at least on a cool weather day) the most I can still handle is that first 1/2-mile hill down to the water and back. But, I love doing even that much simply because it allows me to replay the entire hike in memory like a movie playing in my mind's eye. If you're looking for a great hike anywhere near Wellfleet, this is the one you can't miss.
翻译:整个大岛步道的长度略超5英里:从停车场出发后,先沿下坡路行走半英里抵达一个大型海湾,随后继续向上穿越一片树木茂密、布满树根与巨石的山脊,最终来到一片有沙丘的沙滩。这条沙滩环绕着整个岛屿,最后又会把你带回到起点——即停车场所在的山坡下。在多发性硬化症导致我的步行耐力下降之前……这一直是我在科德角最喜欢的徒步路线:路程适中,风景绝美。如今,(至少在天气凉爽的时候)我最多能坚持走上半英里——就是从起点下到水边再折返的这一段。不过,即便只是走这么一点路程,我也乐在其中,因为它能让我在脑海中像放电影一样重温整段徒步的历程。如果你想在韦尔弗利特附近找一条绝佳的徒步路线,那这条绝对不容错过。
