Paris Mountain State Park 游记

Paris Mountain is located in the rapidly-developing city of Greenville, South Carolina, and although the park was once a rural retreat, bikers, hikers and those attending Camp Buckhorn now keep the park bustling year round. It’s roots date as far back as the Great Depression, when it was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. This heritage can still be seen in the preserved stone and timber outside of the renovated bathhouse, now known as the Park Center. Inside, the center features historical exhibits and a classroom to teach young and old about the park’s ecology….

自从来到这个城市,到目前为止最畅快的一件事情就是有空去爬山。去年10月份花$50办了一张南卡罗莱纳州境内所有州立公园都可以免费出入的年卡,开始每天只要有空就去爬山。这座山最大的一个特点就是徒步小径多,而且湖多,可选徒步旅行的路线很多。可以选择把车停在山下,沿着小溪上山或者从陡坡爬上去,也可以直接把车开上山然后选择山上的3个不同的环线小径餐馆山顶、山涧湖和林荫道。

一般来说周中下了班因为离天黑也就不到几个小时了,我都是选择把车开到山顶,然后选择最困难的一个陡峭的环线快速跑一圈,大概全长4公里,耗时整一小时。周末就休闲多了,把车停在山下,从小溪山径路过一个1900年建立的水库瀑布慢慢爬上去,到山顶远眺一下南卡的地平线,然后沿着环线到达山涧湖,在湖边静坐一会看看碧蓝的湖水,再从林荫环线下山,整个长度大概2万米,花4~5小时走完。

每年9~10月份的时候是最美的,很多去过Smoky Mountain(北卡州和田纳西州交界处的大雾山国家公园)的来这里都会感慨这里的秋景不比大雾山差。
