A practical guide to New Zealand's 'Great Walks'
（文章来源：National Geographic美国国家地理）
For travelers with serious hiking ambitions, there’s no better country than New Zealand. ‘Tramping’, as the locals call it, is easy and accessible in this land of fern-fringed rivers, glacial valleys and volcano calderas. But the crowning glory is its ‘Great Walks’ — a collection of 11 multi-day hiking trails that capture the best of New Zealand’s spectacular landscapes. Though easy enough to complete, tackling any one of them requires planning — so, from how to budget or book huts to what to pack, here’s all you need to know.
Do I need a permit to do a Great Walk
No. However, to limit the impact of people on the natural environment, the Department of Conservation (DOC) requires hikers to book huts and campsites in advance. Most trails have two or more huts and you’ll need to book all of them together. Amenities can vary but huts tend to feature bunk beds in shared rooms, cooking facilities, heating, lighting, mattresses, toilets and non-potable water.
How far in advance do I need to book accommodation along the Great Walks
The DOC takes bookings in June for the following season (October to April). Because of their popularity, huts and campsites can sell out within minutes, especially on the Milford Track and Abel Tasman Coast Track. If you miss out, you can still book with one of the local tour operators, which are allocated hut and campsite beds in advance or run their own lodges along the trail.
What should I pack for a multi-day hike
You’ll need a good-quality hiking pack and hiking shoes. Some trails traverse estuaries and rivers or stop at watering holes, making hiking sandals (and insect repellent) useful. Thermals and a rain jacket are a must. Guided tour operators generally include packed lunches, hot meals, snacks and drinks for guests, but if you’re travelling independently you’ll need to pack cooking equipment and food. You’ll also need bags to take your rubbish out in.
Are the Great Walks suitable for beginners
They’re all graded ‘intermediate’, although some are more difficult than others due to terrain. However, they’re well-constructed, well-maintained and have clear signage, making them suitable for new and seasoned hikers. If you’re not confident, consider joining a specialist tour that will transport most of your luggage so you can hike more lightly. Apps such as Plan My Walk feature useful packing lists, track alerts and weather forecasts.
How much should I budget for a Great Walk
This depends on the number of nights on the trail and how you choose to travel. For example, staying in a DOC hut on the five-day Abel Tasman Coast Track costs NZ$56 ( 26.88) a night or NZ$24 ( 11.50) a night for a campsite pitch. Transport to and from the trailhead (either by water taxi or bus shuttle) is around NZ$50 ( 24) each way. By comparison, a guided walk with operator Wilsons Abel Tasman starts from NZ$2,750 ( 1,320) and includes your guide, snacks, meals, transport, accommodation, linen and luggage bags.

How to plan a weekend in County Wicklow, the beautiful 'Garden of Ireland'
（文章来源：National Geographic美国国家地理）
To drive south of Dublin and cross into County Wicklow is to be confronted, almost immediately, with some of the most soaring, timeless scenery the Emerald Isle has to offer. This is the ‘Garden of Ireland’: a forested realm of steep, glacial valleys that climb dramatically to the stark uplands of the Wicklow Mountains. Its beauty has made it a site of pilgrimage since ancient times — between the sixth and 12th centuries, the valley of Glendalough was home to one of the most powerful and learned monasteries in all Christendom.
Today, walkers flock to Wicklow to tackle sections, if not all, of the Wicklow Way, an 82-mile trail that snakes through the county’s centre. Along the way, it offers detours to spectacular aristocratic country piles like Powerscourt House & Gardens or horticultural wonders such as the National Botanic Gardens, Kilmacurragh. A groundswell of civic pride and investment over the past decade has led to the launch of new tours and attractions, including the multimillion-pound Beyond the Trees aerial forest walkway. Meanwhile, on the coast, pretty towns with sandy beaches offer surfers and swimmers access to the Irish Sea, their streets paved with tales of smugglers, Vikings, rebels and poets.
Morning
Kissing the county’s northern border with Dublin is the lively beach town of Bray, its promenade stretching a mile between the mouth of the River Dargle and a rocky headland once notorious for smugglers’ caves. Strap on a life jacket for a sea kayak lesson with Bray Adventures. Paddling out from the harbour, the instructor paints a picture of Bray’s 19th-century heyday as Ireland’s most glamorous seaside resort, pointing out landmarks such as Oscar Wilde’s birthplace. The final destination is a set of rugged sea stacks home to nesting guillemots, cormorants and kittiwakes. Lunch awaits in the town of Greystones — The Happy Pear serves hearty plant-based curries and soups, plus vegan desserts.
Afternoon
Drive to Powerscourt House & Gardens, one of eastern Ireland’s most impressive and storied estates, in Enniskerry. The 18th-century Palladian manor is merely set dressing for the main event: 47 acres of landscaped gardens. Beautifully arranged beneath grand terraces and framed on the horizon by Wicklow’s Great Sugar Loaf peak, the grounds offer up ornamental lakes and follies to rival the grander palaces of continental Europe. Self-guided audio tours tell the history of Ireland through the triumphs and tragedies of this great house. Later, drop in at the on-site whiskey distillery, or follow the road four miles south to visit the spectacular 398ft-high Powerscourt Waterfall, Ireland’s highest cascade.
Evening
A groundswell of interest in the great outdoors since the pandemic has made Wild Summits’ night hike and history tour of Glendalough the company’s most popular offering. The most sensational pocket of Wicklow Mountains National Park, Glendalough is home to the ruins of a grand monastic city. Founded in the sixth century, it grew in size and ecclesiastical might to become one of the major centres of learning in the West, before falling into disrepair and being burnt down by the English in 1398. Setting off before dusk, Wild Summits’ guides take hikers though the ruined abbey, around the twin lakes and up into mountains populated by sika deer — a nearly nine-mile walk that ends with a headlamp-lit scramble back to the car park.

Best things to do in Maine
Car license plates in Maine bear the slogan “Vacationland.” It’s a fitting nickname for the northernmost state in New England, where 3,500 miles of rocky coastline, dozens of historic lighthouses, and bird- and moose-filled wild spaces draw around 15 million visitors a year. Here are 10 of the top ways to experience it.
Hike at Moosehead Lake
Stretching for 40 miles in the remote highlands of interior Maine, Moosehead is the state’s largest, most majestic lake. Seventy miles north of Bangor amid the unsung beauty of the Longfellow Mountains, the tree-ringed lake resembles the antlered head of a moose from above. To see for yourself, hop a float plane in Greenville or hike up Mount Kineo. At its peak, you’ll be surrounded on three sides by water and dramatic views.
Most overnight visitors to Moosehead Lake will see an actual moose or two ambling around the shallows, since they outnumber humans here three to one. Lodging options include the plush Blair Hill Inn; rustic cabins at the Birches Resort; and tent campsites at Lily Bay State Park.
Stay or play on a farm
Maine is the United States’ top producer of wild blueberries, which you can find at family-run farm stands across the state. Many farms offer hands-on experiences that range from apple picking and cranberry bogging to overnight stays amid the fields. “[It’s] a way for people to connect with the realities of farming that leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation,” says Ellen Sabina of the nonprofit Maine Farmland Trust. To find a farm stay, check Real Maine or the Maine Organic Gardens and Farmers Association.
Maine’s multiple farm festivals include Maple Syrup Sunday in March, with sweet-filled events at “sugarhouses” (maple-syrup producers) across the state. In the fall, fairs include the Common Ground Country Fair and the Fryeburg Fair.
Explore Acadia National Park
The only national park in Maine, Acadia consists of nearly 50,000 acres of mountains and shorelines. Hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers head to its main section on Mount Desert Island and a smaller, less crowded preserve on the Schoodic Peninsula. For an overview, drive or bike the 27-mile scenic Park Loop Road, which includes a climb to the top of Cadillac Mountain.
Or explore the culture of the Indigenous Wabanaki people, who still harvest shellfish and sweetgrass around Acadia. The latter shows up in their distinctive basketry, which is on display at the Abbe Museum near the park entrance; Wabanaki artists, scholars, and musicians also share knowledge at frequent Cultural Connections programs.
Find fine art in Rockland
Along Maine’s midcoast, Rockland is a small fishing port with a big rep for art. In the historic downtown, the Farnsworth Art Museum is where to find quintessentially Maine works by members of the Wyeth family and abstract, monochromatic sculptures by Louise Nevelson.
Nearby, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art features cutting-edge exhibits by the likes of photographer Rodrigo Valenzuela and multi-media artist Shinique Smith in a dazzling glass and corrugated metal showplace.

缅因州趣事
缅因州的汽车车牌上印有标语“度假胜地（Vacationland）”。这对于新英格兰最北部的这个州来说是一个贴切的绰号，那里有长达3,500英里的多岩海岸线、数十座历史悠久的灯塔，以及充满了各种鸟类和驼鹿的荒野，每年吸引大约1500万游客。以下是体验缅因州的前10种方式。
在穆斯黑德湖徒步旅行
位于缅因州内陆的偏远高地，穆斯黑德湖是该州最大、最宏伟的湖泊。在班戈尔以北70英里，位于朗费罗山脉的不为人知的美丽之中，这个被树木环绕的湖泊从上面看起来像一只驼鹿的头。要亲自看到这一点，可以在格林维尔搭乘水上飞机或者徒步爬上基奴奥山。在山顶，你将被三面环水和壮丽的景色包围。
对于穆斯黑德湖的大多数过夜游客来说，他们将看到一两只漫步在湖岸的驼鹿，因为它们在这里的数量是人类的三倍。住宿选择包括豪华的布莱尔希尔酒店、Birches度假村的乡村小屋以及Lily Bay州立公园的帐篷露营地。
在农场逗留或游玩
缅因州是美国野生蓝莓的主要生产地，你可以在全州的家庭经营的农场摊位上找到这些蓝莓。许多农场提供亲身体验，从采摘苹果和挖蔓越莓到在田野中过夜。缅因农田信托非营利组织的埃伦·萨比纳表示：“这是让人们与农业的现实联系起来，从而达到更深层次的理解和欣赏的一种方式。”要找到农场逗留，可以查看“Real Maine”或缅因有机花园和农民协会。
缅因州的多个农田节庆包括三月的枫糖星期天，全州“糖屋”（制作枫糖的地方）上演甜蜜的活动。秋季，各种各样的集市包括“共同的乡村集市”和弗莱堡集市。
探索阿卡迪亚国家公园
阿卡迪亚是缅因州唯一的国家公园，由近50,000英亩的山地和海岸线组成。徒步者、骑自行车者和自然爱好者纷纷前往其主要部分——在马萨奇尼岛上——以及较小、较不拥挤的斯科迪克半岛上的保存区。为了获得全貌，可以驾车或骑自行车沿27英里的风景公路，其中包括攀登卡迪拉克山的一段。
或者探索印第安瓦巴纳基人的文化，他们仍然在阿卡迪亚附近的海域捕捞贝类和采集甜草。甜草出现在他们独特的篮子中，这些篮子在公园入口附近的艾比博物馆展出；瓦巴纳基艺术家、学者和音乐家还会在频繁的文化联系项目中分享知识。
在罗克兰寻找艺术
沿缅因州中部海岸，罗克兰是一个小渔港，以艺术而闻名。在历史悠久的市中心，方茨沃思艺术博物馆是寻找缅因州典型作品的地方，这些作品来自怀斯家族的成员和路易丝·内维尔森的抽象、单色雕塑。
在附近，缅因当代艺术中心在一座令人眼花缭乱的玻璃和波纹金属展览厅里展示了摄影师罗德里戈·瓦伦苏埃拉和多媒体艺术家希尼克·史密斯等人的前卫展览。2024年高考英语时文阅读与强化练习
