百年小徑
地方性遺產
您所走過的天然小徑中，路途最長的是那一條？
位於華盛頓州東部的百年小徑是一條經人工鋪設的小徑，沿著斯波堪河(Spokane
River)蜿蜒而下，總長37哩，起自九哩瀑布(Nine
Mile Falls)，終於愛荷華州的邊界。九哩瀑布也是河畔州立公園(Riverside
State Park)的景點之一，遊客可到此露營，步行或騎馬探訪該區的許多歷史景點及自然景色。健行或騎腳踏車的人可以利用彎彎曲曲的橋樑跨越斯波堪河，觀看沼澤地的藍蒼鷺，或者是瀏覽印地安石畫區的岩石雕刻。
假如您沿著百年小徑，朝河的上遊走，它會越來越陡峭。電動車輛不被允許在小徑上行走，所以準備以走路、跑步或騎腳踏車的方式，面對這段難走的路。然後，這條小徑會穿過斯波堪市，抵達河前公園(Riverfront
Park)，這座公園內有許多吸引人的設施，如：平底輕舟，它會帶領遊客進行長達2,240呎的來回旅程，您可先到斯波堪瀑布的底端，然後再回到斯波堪市的市中心。
What's the longest nature trail you have ever been on?
The Centennial Trail in eastern Washington state is a paved trail that runs for 37 miles along the Spokane River -- from Nine Mile Falls to the Idaho state line. Nine Mile Falls is also the site of Riverside State Park, where visitors can camp and explore on foot or horseback the many historic sites and natural features of the area. Hikers or bicyclists can cross the Spokane River on the swinging bridge, watch for a blue heron in the marshlands or read petroglyphs (inscriptions on rocks) at the Indian rock paintings area.
If you head upriver along the Centennial Trail, it gets very hilly. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail, so be ready to walk, run or bike hard. The trail then passes through the city of Spokane and continues through Riverfront Park, which has additional attractions such as the Gondola, a chair-lift that takes passengers on a 2,240-foot round trip to the bottom of the Spokane Falls and into the heart of downtown Spokane.
