세코야에 2박 3일 가려고 하는데 5개월 아기가 있어요.
구글에 찾아보니까 wheelchair accessible trail 가 몃군데 있기는 한데 길이 많이 울퉁불퉁 하면 stroller 로 아기가 장시간 bumpy road 다니면 불편하고 힘들어 할까봐 걱정입니다.
1. 아래 wheelchair accessible trail 가 stroller friendly 인지, trail 가 얼마나 bumpy 한지 궁금합니다.
2. 중간 중간에 앉아서 아기 우유도 먹이고 기저귀도 갈수 있는 벤치 같은게 있는지 아님 돗자리를 가지고 가야 하는지 궁금합니다.
3. 화장실이 trail 구간에 여러개 있는지, 또 diaper changing station 도 있는지 궁금합니다.
아기띠를 매면 제일 편하고 좋은데 아직 목을 잘 못가누어서 아기띠를 싫어해요..
유모차에 카싯에 태워서 다녀야 하는데 애기가 많이 불편하면 차라리 여행을 미루는게 나을지 걱정되어 여쭤봅니다.
다녀오신 분들 조언 부탁드립니다.
Trails that are wheelchair-accessible include:
- General Sherman Tree Trail (Giant Forest): This short trail leads a few hundred feet from an accessible parking area to the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree on earth. The entire trail is paved with inclines of up to 5% and limited cross-slopes. Benches along the trail provide places to rest.
- Big Trees Trail (Giant Forest): This level, ⅔-mile loop trail circles a meadow surrounded by giant sequoias. Trailside exhibits interpret the natural history of the grove. The portion of the trail from Giant Forest Museum to the accessible parking area is packed soil with a slight incline and cross-slope. The remaining loop portion is paved and wooden boardwalk and is nearly flat.
- Zumwalt Meadow Trail (Cedar Grove): A portion of this trail is accessible to wheelchairs. It begins on a hard-packed gravel surface, and continues along a boardwalk to the edge of Zumwalt Meadow.
- Muir Rock Trail (Cedar Grove): This short trail leads to the Kings River and Muir Rock, a large granite boulder at the river's edge named in honor of famed naturalist John Muir. The entire trail has a hard-packed dirt surface.
Some trails are paved but have running or cross slopes that are slightly steeper, but may be accessible depending on individual abilities:
- Beetle Rock Trail, Crescent Meadow Trail, and Tharp's Log Trail (Giant Forest)
- Grant Tree Trail and Panoramic Point Trail (Grant Grove)
- Roaring River Falls Trail (Cedar Grove)
