点评:Perfect Setup for Hiking the Narrows
We rented our Narrows equipment from Zion Outfitter during a family trip to Zion National Park, and I would highly recommend them.
The location could not have been more convenient. We were staying at Watchman Campground, and Zion Outfitter is located right outside the park entrance and within easy walking distance of the campground. We were able to pick up our equipment the afternoon before our hike, which meant we could get an early start the next morning without dealing with rentals.
We rented the warm-weather packages with the canyon shoes, neoprene socks and wooden walking sticks. The equipment was absolutely worth it. We hiked more than a mile into the Virgin River, and the combination of the shoes and neoprene socks made walking through the water much more comfortable. The wooden walking sticks were especially valuable for keeping our balance on the uneven and slippery rocks. After doing the hike, I can’t imagine attempting the Narrows without one.
Returning everything was just as easy. We simply walked the equipment back from Watchman after our hike.
Great location, easy process and equipment that genuinely made our Narrows experience safer and more enjoyable. Definitely recommended if you’re planning to hike the Narrows.
翻译:徒步穿越“狭窄通道”的完美之选
我们全家去锡安国家公园旅游时,从Zion Outfitter租用了徒步所需的装备,我极力推荐这家店。
地理位置实在再便利不过了。我们当时住在守望者露营地,而Zion Outfitter正好位于公园入口处,离露营地也只有几步之遥。我们能够在徒步前一天的下午取到装备。这意味着我们第二天早上可以早早出发,而无需再去租用装备。
我们租用了适合温暖天气的装备包,里面包括峡谷徒步鞋、氯丁橡胶袜以及木制手杖。这些装备绝对物有所值。我们沿着维尔京河徒步了一英里多,鞋子与氯丁橡胶袜的配合让在水中行走变得舒适许多。而那些木制手杖则帮助我们在不平又湿滑的岩石上保持平衡,作用尤为显著。完成这次徒步后,我实在无法想象不借助装备就去挑战“窄谷”徒步路线会是什么情形。
归还装备的过程也极其简单。徒步结束后,我们只需把装备从Watchman处带回来即可。
地理位置优越,流程简便,这些装备确实让我们的“窄谷”徒步体验更加安全且愉快。如果你打算去徒步“窄谷”,绝对值得推荐。
