点评:We entered Yosemite national parks visitor center. When you reach the visitor center you get on the purple bus which takes you to number 16and this is where you get off to get to the Vernal Falls. It starts out very flat then it’s sheer uphill, walking the entire way Stop along the way. Bring water sunscreen. It is paved to the entire route up to the bridge. Do not bring a stroller or anything that you have to carry. It is really steep. I’m in my 60s and I was fine butpeople were struggling with children and bringing a wagon. Leave it behind too much to carry. All you need is a water bottle.
When you get to the bridge, you look up and you can see the fall, but because it’s September, they weren’t that spectacular. From there, you continue on up to look at the top of the fall, but we were there on a Thursday in the section of the miss Trail wasclosed reopened on Friday. They do maintenance Monday through Thursday so we just turned around and came back down. They had volunteers at the top. would normally take the trail to tell you that it’s closed or you can continue up for another mile and a half but we chose notto. We had other places to see within the park. It’s a must and I think if you go in the summer or early spring, the waterfalls would be a little bit more majestic, but it’s a must. It’s not for the faint at heart. Do not rush the hike up. at the bottom when you’re leaving go to the left there’s a beautiful river and beautiful view. Some people were swimming in it.
翻译:我们走进了约塞米蒂国家公园的游客中心。到达游客中心后,乘坐紫色巴士即可前往16号站点,在那里下车就能抵达弗尼尔瀑布。这段路起初比较平坦,随后便变成陡峭的上坡路,全程都需要步行。途中可以随时停下来休息。记得带上水和防晒霜。通往桥梁的整段路都铺设了路面。请勿携带婴儿车或任何需要手提的物品,因为坡度实在太陡了。我六十多岁了,感觉还行,但其他人带着孩子、还推着手推车,实在是辛苦不已。带太多东西反而成了负担。其实你只需要带一瓶水就够了。
走到桥上后抬头就能看到瀑布,不过由于是九月,瀑布并没有那么壮观。从那里继续往上走就能看到瀑布的顶端,但我们去的那天是周四,当时Miss Trail的那段路还处于封闭状态,直到周五才重新开放。他们从周一到周四进行维护工作,所以我们转身又原路返回了。山顶上有志愿者值守。通常情况下,会有工作人员沿着小径告知游客此处已封闭,或者允许游客继续向上行走1.5英里左右;但我们决定不去了。因为我们还想在公园里参观其他地方。这个地方绝对值得一去——我觉得如果在夏季或早春时节前往,瀑布会显得更加壮观,但不管何时,这里都值得参观。不过这可不是胆小者能胜任的徒步路线,千万别急着往上爬哦。离开时走到底部,然后向左转,那里有一条漂亮的河流,景色也很宜人。有一些人正在河里游泳。
