晨读 Alamere Falls

以前听说过这个瀑布，前些天橙包留言说要去走它，我就动心了，查询一下。

（注：国家公园的资料照片）

认真读了一下，20公里往返的徒步行程，哇，立马被吓住了，这个距离超出了我的舒适极限。

我的户外运动目标性很明显，就是想看到目标景点，不想埋头瞎走累脚。

20公里徒步才能看到这个据说是天下难得一见的直接泄入大海的瀑布，还是罢了。

徒步小径的介绍，它着重强调了旁边那条所谓“捷径”的危险性，阅读一下还是很有必要的。

抄一段：

There is NO park-sanctioned "Alamere Falls Trail"

Please take note! Many social media posts, websites, and older (and some newer) guide books reference an "Alamere Falls Trail" (also sometimes referred to as a "shortcut to the falls"). The "Alamere Falls Trail" is NOT a maintained trail, and poses many hazards to off-trail hikers—crumbling and eroding cliffs, massive poison oak, ticks, and no cell phone service. Visitors who use this unmaintained trail may endanger themselves and rescuers, and inadvertently cause resource damage, such as trampling plants, which may lead to the death of the trampled plants. On an almost weekly basis, visitors get hurt scrambling down the heavily rutted route leading to the top of the falls or sliding down the crumbly cliff-face to get to the beach, sometimes requiring search and rescue teams to be mobilized. The National Park Service strongly advises visitors against using this unmaintained route. Please use the recommended routes described below to visit the falls.
